[Tuco-bad]

For the WTC towers to remain standing after 2 747's hit them is amazing enough. For them to succomb only because of many 10,000's of gallons of burning jet fuel is certainly respectable, and definately nothing anyone prior to 9/11 could have anticipated.

If true, that no one would expect the WTC to stand after the impact of the 767s then: "Why were emergency workers sent into the WTC?

Instead of blaming the engineers, lets remember who brought down the towers-- a bunch of Islamic fanatics shouting "Allahu akhbar," no doubt.

Of course the Islamic fanatics are responsible, I'm just saying had the WTC not been built "on the cheap" the WTC probably would not have collapsed.

Of course, we all know Islam is a religion of peace....

If I were an Islamic person, I would be ashamed of my religion.

A lot of people said, Well, the building failed. That's true, but nothing is indestructible. The question is, why did it fail? In this case, as I've explained, it was the fire covering the whole floor in a few seconds that made this different from any other fire that anyone had ever designed for.
