The WTC was not faulty. It was destroyed in the standard way for controlled demolition.
A complete hoax story has been publicised by the government, which involves lies like 'the steel was melted by burning jet fuel'.
The insurance company has verified that the steel had been inspected and reached the demanding specifications.
The early spin from the media was that the ferocious heat of the burning jet fuel melted the structural steel of the skyscraper. Unfortunately, jet fuel, which is basically kerosene, typically burns at about 450 degrees C, and steel melts at about 1550C.
Household kerosene burners are made of steel, and they do not melt.
The only thing which could have melted the steel was thermate, as used in controlled explosions.
So there is no need to inspect other towers for faulty engineering.

The only reason the towers fell was because of the amount of jet fuel that was spilt. The heat was way more than that structure could withstand. If you noticed, it took along time for the towers to come down. They melted. Those buildings were marvels. No building can compare with the WT towers.
And with what happened to them, they still did what they were supposed to do. They collapsed onto themselves. Faulty, no way!

I don't think it was faulty engineering that was the problem. The problem was that the towers were built to withstand the impact of a 707, not our bigger and heavier aircraft. The only "engineering" problem was that it was impossible for fire fighters to reach people on the highest floors with their equipment/vehicles... That's the real tragedy there...

Do you really think that any man-made building in the world could with-stand an attack like the Twin Towers took? Don't think so - it doesn't matter how many steps they take to find fault. It just happened - sadly.

i dont even think they should build new towers, just another thing for them to blow up. eventually no matter how unfaulty the engineering is on a building, there will always be enough explosives to bring it down.

By your logic, everything man makes is faulty. Eventually, everything man makes will fail.

I have researched this question.None that I can tell.And insurance rates for fire on steel buildings hasnt increased appreciably either.

I don't think anyone planned for a couple of jetliners hitting it.
