I read somewhere that planes flying in to skyscrapers is not a new thing. that is why when most were built they were built to with stand a crash from
a plane. the designed the wtc towers said earlier in 2001 that they would with stand a crash from a 707, which was the biggest plane at the time. his
exact definition of what would happen would be that of a mosquito flying in to a wire mesh on a door and bouncing off. a plane hit the empire state
building in the 40s and crashed through, there were fires etc. however, the building did not collapse because it is one of the finest looking and well
built buildings of our time. the empire state building was built somewhere around 1930, whereas the trade centre towers were built in the late 60s to
early 70s. I believe that in order to save time and money the trade centre building were poorly constructed and corners were cut. it is a fact that
only below the 60th floor was the interior part in the centre was fireproof. the buildings were believed to have aspestos and would have needed to be
torn down by 2020 otherwise they would have become a hazard for the people working there. this is the reason why when the planes crashed in to the wtc
towers the non-fire proof centre was melted away and the towers stood no chance of staying upright. the empire state building is still standing
because it was built well, however it seems that a skyscraper built over 40 years later was built like a sand castle and was an accident waiting to
happen. if the terrorists hadn't of crashed those planes the wtc towers would have been pulled down, blown up or even fell down.
