The big difference with the Manhattan Project is they didn't drop the nuclear bomb on New York and then keep it a secret for a decade. What is hard to understand? The South tower was hit about 15 floors lower than the North tower. That would put more than double the amount of floors above the damaged area. You just need to know elementary school physics to realize that putting more weight on something will make it more likely to fail. If the plane had hit at the 30th floor it would have fallen faster, if it had hit at the 105th floor, it might not have fallen at all. |
I'm sticking with the engineers of the WTC. They designed it to withstand an airline hit anywhere. The way that it was built allowed it to take a blow and still be structurally safe. There is no way both buildings that were designed to take a hit falling so quickly. There are reports (from the firefighters that were on the floors where it was hit) that the fire wasn't even that bad and was about to be contained when all of a sudden the tower went down. Would you agree that most of the jet fuel burnt up outside the towers? It looks obvious to me that most the fuel was burnt up outside the buildings.
