I'm not an architect or an engineer but I remember on 9/11 how surprised I was that the WTC towers fell. It just didn't seem like running planes into the towers, even big ones like 767's, could have brought down such massive structures. I read that the towers were designed to withstand the impact of a 707 which is just about the same size as a 767.

Carla, good to hear from a fellow Canadian -though you reminded me of the actual state of that country and made me glad to be in the States.
Osama Bin Laden hates the west, and would gladly take the credit for any destruction over here. It would make him look good to his followers.
Russ, I can't remember, but isn't there some kind of connection between Bin Laden and the Bush family? Or am I totally out to lunch on this?
And, though I prefer to live in the States rather than my home country, the States is not my cup of tea either. Freedoms are quickly going down the tubes. Does anyone know of a little island somewhere........... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
