I'm not getting into this argument but I just wanted to state that GT was almost completely correct saying that it'd be rare for a building as tall as that to come crashing down in a perfect line.

Yet, I'm not saying it is impossible. Almost everything is possible just give it time, but in a physics calculation that building might as well have been made of wood to not put up with that resistance (besides the fact that wood wouldn't hold shit, just something weaker than metal to say).

You also have to think about the strength of the plane's initial impact on the building. That first connection with a steel beam could make the entire building structurely unsound, depending on the level of engineering each floor was put into mind.

I'm not sure how the building was crafted so I leave no remark on it. Maybe those "terrorists" knew where it's weak points were (from some anonymous person(s)). Everything has it's possibilities until proven otherwise.

first off it didn't fall completely straight, the portion above the crash did tilt. so the crash obviously messed something up. secondly what do you expect, it to just lean over like the leaning tower of pisa and then fall? its not a jenga game, i'm sure it had an extremely strong base to prevent it from just tipping over.
