No. The designers ASSUMED that they had built the towers to withstand a low-speed collision with an airplane, just as it was assumed that the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. Human arrogance rears its ugly head once again.

The entire world hates us now, we went from a budget surplus to a 1 Trillion dollar deficit, our hands are tied in doing further military action, Israel has become more vulnerable as a result, and have faced a potential great depression 2.0...yes, Osama's plan made no sense at all

I think you make a very good point.
Many people observing the scene in the US, expecially over the last eight years (the Bush administration's time in office) are very disturbed by what has been going on, both overseas and within the US itself. Numerous books and movies both on and off the internet have explored these concerns.
If the concerns are valid, concerns of the sort expressed in Jim Marrs's book The Rise of the Fourth Reich, i.e., concerns about the infestation and proliferation of fascist ideas and methods in America, then one day it will be too late to make it right.
The kinds of changes creeping up on America are too pervasive to ignore. People will no longer be able to say, "Well, I'm not political. I don't have to bother with this stuff."
The lesson of history is that you always have to bother with this stuff. The only choice you have is to deal with it when it is a relatively small problem, or to deal with it when it is a monumental problem that is costing millions of people their lives and getting your butt drafted into the army.

Thats high quality? I beg to differ. And why does the video, just before the south tower begins to collapse, edit from a zoom in looking at a puff of smoke comming out of the side of the south tower, and then suddenly we see debris already falling almost half way down, then the camera zooms out?
The north tower part, extremely pixilated and doesnt even show the begining of the collapse.
The footage I got on the day all this happend, raw footage I should also add, recorded on a DVD from the ABC live news feed right off the network affiliate sattelite, is FAR better than this stuff.
Cheers!!!!

Does not change the fact that at the time the Titanic was considered as unsinkable by many and her designers had thought that the watertight bulkheads would ensure that the ship would stay afloat under all by the most drastic circumstances. And they were wrong.

No, they dont show a massive explosion of any sort. They show a building collapsing due to strike damage and fire.

basically its as simple as this... I have studied almost every possible explanation of 9/11 and not one has answered the question of why wtc7 fell. Im not on vendetta here but I do want to say to all the 9/11 debunker types, LOOK AGAIN! and when one of you can honestly explain how a fully intact building collapses on itself I still will not respond cause it freaking hopeless...after a couple years it has been made very clear to me...ppl dont come here to discuss this topic they just come here to spout their various fear.
FNORD.

I' mean They've been planning this since their failed false flag on the towers in the early 90's. Well maybe that was a true terrorist attack, but when they saw the public outcry for Middle Eastern, Terrorist blood, they knew they had something there,
Also we are not talking about convention stuff, i.e. thermite/cutter charges ect, were talking about stuff so far advance it would make your headspin, like a stealth bomber in the 60's.
But you know ALL about that Swampfoxx, *wink*.
Pretext for War.
Save billions of dollars of clearing the asbestos from 1 and 2, and turn that into a muli- million dollar profit, pretty good. ....
Let's start out on how good controlled demolition experts are on getting even the simplest facts right.
Asbestos only up to 38 floors on one tower, half of it had been taken care of. It just needs to be sprayed to prevent flaking, not removed. The rest was inspected and to be remove voluntary. Costs thousands not billions.
This stuff just gets loopier to the point that you can just make up anything and conspiracist will buy into it.
If there is a mysterious shadow govt their best friends are the armchair quartebacks trying to find out about it. The whole movement discredits itself from the starting gate.
