Hello. The World Trade Center did not collapse due to extreme wind loads. They fell because a huge fireball at the heart of each of the buildings caused loss of strength of the supporting columns of steel framework, resulting in buckling and collapse. The wind stress tests had ZILCH to do with the relative strength of the vertical columns.
