[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I don't think the plan was ever to destroy the towers; just hitting them both was surely statement enough. The WTC design even planned for a collision by an airliner, the problem was they based the contingency around the state of the art for about 1970, namely a Boeing 707. The planes that did hit were larger and carried more fuel. The initial blast stripped away the fireproofing from the girders, which then melted in the heat. Whole floors (originally put in in modular form) gave way, adding to the weight on the ones below. Result: a cascade effect. Al-Qaeda couldn't have aimed to do that if they'd tried. [/QB][/QUOTE]
