After reading some comments I realize that there are  two types people here. One that believes 9/11 was a conspiracy, and one that does not. And have to say the ones that doesnt are the ones who sounds  foolish.
I mean they are 'officially' and unwittingly arguing that tall buildings were designed to be  death traps for themselves. i.e. designed to implode rapidly on them (without the need for explosives charges) giving little/no time for evacuation .

And they ague this proudly to LOL. Well I hope yall are proud to be AmericansXD.

I was unaware that mandating that skyskrapers must be able to withstand the impact of a jumbo jetliner full of fuel and traveling at speeds exceeding 600mph was part of the International Building Code prior to 9/11... or at all.

Amm.... I think there is a difference between ''not withstanding impact'', and imploding rapidly/suddenly without chance for evacuation u know.


For one thing they didn't collapse straight after being hit, with one burning for about an hour and the other for about on hour and a half before they collapsed. If you're talking about how fast the actual collapse itself occured - that is just a matter of momentum.

They were not designed to be death traps but a large building collapsing simply is one.
