Well there seems to be a lot of straw being clung at with this theory......but here is an uncontrovertable fact...as Ive seen this on Discovery...and I know a bit about basic physics.
The simple fact of the matter is this.....YES the trade towers were designed to withstand the impact of a 707..(remembering the last aircraft to hit the empire state...a B25 if I recall) however here is the reason why the damage was more extensive and why the buildings couldnt cope...... The 767 ans 757 hit at over 350knots, where as the 707 design parameters were calculated at 150knots...and as F=MA.....the damage increases at the square of the speed..or something like that.

The WTC buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a 707. A 707 is within 10 % of gross weight and fuel capacity of a 767. In the videos the buildings collapse in a fashion that is reminiscent of the controlled demolition of large buildings (like Las Vegas hotels). This is HIGHLY unlikely and defies the very laws of physics. By the way, the name of the Company cleaning up the debris of the WTC buildings was �Controlled Demolition, Inc.�! What a coincidence.
