Thank you for this info... I undertand where you are coming from, I know the fire heated the metal, and made it softer...I know that some columns were destroyed.... But you gave very good details..thanks.However, if they were desinged to withstand a 707...why couldn't they withstand a 757?? I know the 757 is a bigger wide body airplane, but I still think the towers fell rather rapidly.... And by the way, even though the buildings were mostly damaged on the upper floors, the entire buildings came down...so even if it were a controlled demolition, they could just blast the upper floors, so that the rest of the building pancakes... It could have been a sloppy demolition...And what about WTC 7 falling down??? Much like a controlled demolition... And take note of this: the fire was strongest probably for the first few minutes, but weakened as the fuel was burned up, plus, as you say, firefighters were up there...It is strange that they stood for as long as they did, and STILL collapsed...if they survived tho most intense moments, then they should have stood up afterwards... |
