You questioned my contention that there were 747s involve on 09/11. You were right to. The conventional 747 body design was not the type of aircraft involved.
I have revealed the aircraft involved below. There are links to stats about each aircraft.
It should be noted that the point I was trying to make, is that the Trade Center towers were not designed with today's larger aircraft in mind, even though I referenced the wrong aircraft design, 747 vs 757 and 767 series.
I have included 727 stats below for reference.
The 727 has a fuel capacity of around 8,000 gallons. The 757 as a fuel capacity of around 11.5 thousand. The 767 series has a fuel capacity of 16.7 to 21.1 thousand gallons.
These larger capacities for fuel are what I was concerned about, allowing more burn time and hotter fires that would be more likely to compromise the girders in the building.
That's a point I hope you understand holds up despite my error.
Thank you for the mention.

Do you know anything about jet fuel and how fast it burns when ignited in an unconfined space? Did you see the fireballs made from the impacts? Are you aware that the smoke coming from the towers got to the black stage, signifying that the fires were low temp burns starved for oxygen at that stage? Are you aware that firemen radioed from the upper floors that at most three hoses could extinguish the fires still burning on the involved floors, tight before the collapse of the first tower? Are you aware that there is video of controllers telling people to get back from bldg 7 because it was being brought down? Bldg seven was a controlled demolition, but the chrges which brought it fown were not planted the day it caught fire!
Thanks for the clarification.
