How could jets take down these buildings???

Question

This is a video of the construction of the Twin Towers. How could anyone believe that a small plane (compared to the size of the towers) take down the whole building. I could understand if the top part of the buildings collapsed but not the entire building being pulverised to dust, it's just not possible. And the notion that each floor collapsed onto the next just doesn't add up, if you watch the first tower to collapse it seems to fall at an angle so how did it end up falling straight down and not out??

Ok I agree there was alot of fuel BUT the majority of the fuel burnt OUTSIDE the building and the remaining fire couldn't possibly reach the temperature to melt or even weaken the steel enough for it to collapse!!!

Ok, if a R/C toy plane hit the roof of my house would it totally collapse?? I think not because the structure underneath is solid the same applies for the towers the structure under the impact zone would still be strong enough to withstand the small portion on top of it collapsing.

Answer 1

Read David Icke's books(video). HE has an interesting point of view on what went down that day.Makes a lot more sense that the media.

Answer 2

I'm no architect but as Ron White said "It's now how fast the wind is blowin', it's what the wind is blowin'. If you get hit with a Volvo--it doesn't matter how many push-ups you did that morning." The reason that is relevant is that the planes hit going atleast fast enough to sustain lighter-than-air or a few hundred miles an hour. When that smacks into a building at that height it's going to cause a lot of stress on an infrastructure that was already underalot of stress from just being that tall.

Secondly they were full of fuel which caused one hell of an explosion that furthered the damage. The weight of the falling top would easily crush the floors below.

Answer 3

There was a documentary on the Discovery Channel (I think. Could have been the Science Channel) that talked about that very thing. It used models and computer animation to show how the excessive heat caused by the burning jet fuel caused the collapse of the towers. I wish I could remember the channel and the name of the program, but I can't. You might check both web sites to see if you can find anything on the subject.

Answer 4

Very simple, when loaded with fuel a 757 can take down a building the size of the twin towers by burning right thru the girders like a blow torch. I think people had better stop listening to these idiots and their doctored videos and adhere to the truth.

Answer 5

Stop with the conspiracy stuff already. Did you not see the towers go down, did you not see the smoke from the burning. Do you not realize that heat is the result of fire and that heat will melt metal. And the weakened metal, combine with the weight of the cement and everything else will bring down a building.

Answer 6

The heat generated from the burning jet fuel 'melted (for lack of better terms)' the steel. I watched a show detailing the incident. Thats why the terrorists figured out they needed airplanes that had completely full gas tanks. All of the flights were full because they were prepared for long distance flights. How tragic, huh...

Answer 7

Ever build a house of cards. Remove on card in the middle and the entire thing comes down. Same principles.

Answer 8

apparently it is possible...the impact didn't take down the buildings. the explosion caused the metal and steel (what the buildings were made out of) to become weak (from the heat) and eventually weak enough to collapse

Answer 9

If your inner structure, (bones) are broken you will crumble, the same in the case of a steel and concrete structure since it also has a skeleton,

Answer 10

Sorry, I can't watch your video.

What happened, happened........it's never gonna be over.....but it's past for the time.
