Couple of things on that. The building, which was only a few years old, is reported to have collapsed due to high heat of oil storage tanks, a small tank on the upper floor to serve NYC Emergency Operations, and an unsually large tank in the basement. The building owner, Larry Silverstein, who leased the WTC towers, says the basement tank was for emergency power. Period.
A EM shielded room (think TEMPEST) might look like an overly large metal tank; might even be designed to look like that.
