>> Second plane was 18 minutes late,<<

Who says it was late? Late for what? Certainly not for maximum social impact. Don't forget,the purpose of terrorism is to terrorize,and the best way to terrorize a population is for them to think "it's over!",and then strike again.

>>not level or centered.<<

That was on purpose,and smart. That is the reason why the second tower collapsed before the first one. It took out the corner supports and load bearing walls on one side,and on more than one level. If anything,the first pilot screwed-up by making a center hit.

I didn't know the second tower came down first. If it did, it might be because it was hit lower. More weight above.

I agree with you--not only did the delay of the 2nd flight by 18 minutes allow everyone to think the 1st one was an accident and to allow rescue workers to rush to the scene--it also guaranteed world wide media coverage of the 2nd attack as it occured--this was an amazing piece of political theatre staged for the illiterate masses to boost their sense of power and destiny by allowing the USA to be punished and taken down a notch in a very public manner--think of that 2nd plane slicing through the 2nd tower--it is riveting-- as we watched tower 1 burn we saw them kill the people in tower 2--not just the aftermath of an attack--we cannot underestimate the cunning or cruelty of the enemy--the 1st hit got our attention--the 2nd hit drove a stake into our hearts--like some sharks bump you and draw a little blood before they turn and bite.

They did the same things on the planes--they sliced the flight attendants' throats to get the passengers' attention and shock them into passivity and then they told them that they were going to die--that is what makes these people so evil--they have no souls and no feelings.
