These buildings are not even nearly structurally sound as was the twin towers, nor were they nearly as tall. The missiles were full of explosives. Yet, somehow, they remained standing.

ACTUALLY, THE TWIN TOWERS WERE A COST SAVING AND POORLY CONSTRUCTED DESIGN.THE SCHEMATICS SHOWED THE BUILDINGS WERE SUPPORTED ALMOST COMPLETELY BY THIN STEEL BEAMS AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND VERY LITTLE SUPPORTIVE STUCTURE ON THE INSIDE OF THE BUILDINGS.

I was working with many mechanical and structural engineers on 9/11. Not long after the second tower was hit, the consensus among them was the towers would go down. Jet fuel burns very hot and the steel beams in the towers would not be able to withstand that heat. I'm not an engineer, so I'll take their word for it.Vegas » 20 Apr 2023, 2:43 pm » wrote: ↑ After looking through many images of buildings that were hit by missiles, in different areas like Ukraine, or the Middle East, I noticed that they had an expected hole with surrounding destruction, but they never fell straight down.

I'm not an engineer either but do you know who is?ConsRule » 20 Apr 2023, 6:14 pm » wrote: ↑ I was working with many mechanical and structural engineers on 9/11.

I know a lot of engineers.
