The building was never designed to withstand such latteral force. eg. side impact from a plane. Try building a house out of playing cards and then pull a card out of the side even on the top level and see if it still stands.

In fact the building was designed to handle that and more. Here is a quote from JOM (Published monthly by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), JOM is a technical journal devoted to exploring the many aspects of materials science and engineering.)

"The early news reports noted how well the towers withstood the initial impact of the aircraft; however, when one recognizes that the buildings had more than 1,000 times the mass of the aircraft and had been designed to resist steady wind loads of 30 times the weight of the aircraft, this ability to withstand the initial impact is hardly surprising. Furthermore, since there was no significant wind on September 11, the outer perimeter columns were only stressed before the impact to around 1/3 of their 200 MPa design allowable."

Sure. The only conspiracy that exists is the one between the engineers and the insurance industry aka '' finger pointing''. Only in America can you make millions from getting burned by a cup of hot coffee. Think of the billions of dollars the insurance industry could recoup if they could blame someone other than the terrorists.

Even some of the 911 commission staff are saying there was a cover up

Yeah. As sick as it is,both sides had something to gain as a result of 9/11. There are more than a few countries that will sacrafice human life even their own citizens for monetary or pollitical gain.

Cool

Sorry I didn't notice it Skylord. I was too busy watching the security guys carrying in boxes of explosives and wondering what they were doing. It's probably all good. Just hidding them from the terrorists.
