"He said that if the planes had hit the structures higher, they could have merely damaged their tops; if they had hit lower, they would have been up against the enormous weight and resistance of the base of the buildings. "

I doubt it. The planes would have taken down the towers if they had hit anywhere except the top floors. The structural support would burn away anywhere.

Agreed. Anyway, they probably just aimed at the middle of what was above the surrouning landscape, that is what it looked like to me. I dont see a great deal of planning here, and any grade school kid knows that a plane taking off, is full of fuel, and when it is finished with its trip at the end of a long journey, it is close to empty. That did not indicate any great planning. The reason they they hijacked planes at when they were full of fuel, is because the planes were near the target, and they were all trying to coordinate hitting the targets at about the same time.

I still say, it only took 4 guys acting alone to pull this off, no great master mind, and no outside financing was required. A master might have been behind it, but certainly it was not necessary. Anyway, the targets are suspect, why fly 2 of the planes into one building? A master mind would have picked 4 separate and distinct targets, and if there was outside financing, then more than 4 targets would have been chosen, and the targets would have been in more than 2 cities, it would have been in at least 4 cities for maximum effect.

What happened, is more likely 4 stupid crazy guys who dont mind suicide.

Until at least the pilots, and more preferably the passengers are armed, this could easily happen again. Isreal stopped hijacking by letting the passengers be armed. When I used to fly with my revolver, I would not have let any hijacker fly my plane into a building.
