sounds like they did take the impact, its the hit combined with the huge ass fireball thats a bitch though. can you show me the study of the effects of an inferno on the structure of a building that has been hit with a commercial jet? and then show me how engineers took those findings and applied extra safety measures to the wtc to handle that situation? I'd like to see it.
EDIT: where are the explosions!!!!!!!!!!???????? it obvious the building just collapses. watch closely now at the point it collapses, don't just play it and say "hey its pretty loud when the building is falling, it must be explosions"

Sweet jesus man...try and contain it all in one post. I can't reply to three posts in one (or rather I won't simply because you lack the skill to make a cohesive statement). No...I said they were built to withstand an airliner hit. Withstand meaning to SURVIVE a hit from an airliner...not just to hang around for a while and then collapse. But hey...if you don't wanna believe the guys who built the damn thing, that's your call. You can't seriously think that the fire had much of anything to do with it. Even if it had been some huge inferno fueled by tons of jet fuel (it wasn't...the vast majority of the fuel exploded on the outside), that steel is built to withstand 2,000 degree temps for 6 hours without softening with a melting point much higher than that. Jet fuel is essentially kerosene...it burns at 1,800 degrees. But the buildings came down in about an hour followed a few hours later by a building that had sustained little to no damage at all. Seems like simple math to me. I'm also not sure why the two ideas I've presented can't be synonymous. But no...it has to be either/or, can't be both.
And lemme tell you...that's one interesting video. Here's a few others.
Clearly, CNN is crazy, too (oh...and "coup de grace" means a blow of mercy...a killing stroke. There's your language/culture lesson for the day)

A split screen view. Notice the inset camera (a stationary one) get slightly jilted about 5 second before smoke appears at the BASE of the building (WTC 1) in the main shot

This woman, an eyewitness survivor, is also clearly insane. Explosions in the
lobby? The hell you say!

These firefighters (who happen to be eyewitnesses)...also clearly insane

This bitch is also obviously coo-coo bananas (listen to what she says about the "fireball" about 13 seconds in)
I think you get the idea.
