How many buildings have ever fallen IN HISTORY, by a plane hitting it?

Question

Yes, there have been other buildings which have been hit via planes, in history, even large fully tanked passenger planes. But how many of those buildings fell?

Mark...I know that the Empire State Building was hit via plane...Or what about that one in Florida that happened a couple of months after 9/11. It happens, but none of those building EVER have fallen.

Answer 1

I really haven't researched other buildings falling from planes hitting them in history, but I would guess that if a building that tall were to exist in history, it would have to be in fairly recent history as we didn't have the technology to build that tall of buildings for that far back in history.

Planes have not existed for that many years either. But in the years since then, I have not heard of planes flying into buildings unless they went off course due to faulty tower signals, or there was low visibility, or weather conditions, etc. But the buildings did not collapse.

But then there are the attacks from fighter planes as in when we were attacked by the Japanese fighter planes - full of bombs intended to explode upon suicide missions - even then the whole building did not crumble.

I don't know of any except on 9-11. I did hear the president give a speech recently when he said the attack took place on 9-11-02. Interesting that he should make such a public blunder without blinking an eye. Maybe he thought no one noticed.

Answer 2

Your answer is 0

The funny thing is the goverment did not claim the planes took the buildings down it was the fire they said, and there aint no buildings been in history that have freefell flat to the ground by fire look at the high rise building in spain that was engulfed by fire it still stood, geez fire can't even reach tempetures hot enough to buckle steel let alone melt the stuff, you need speical chemicals to do that.

Answer 3

The 3 buildings on the 11.9.2001.

Answer 4

Only the two twin towers, and they feel at NEARLY free fall speed (10-12 seconds a little longer by a few seconds) but that's still impossible for a building to fall that fast and it is impossible for any building that size to fall from a small Boeing 747 (in comparison). Those buildings were built to withstand two Boeing attacks, and yet one for each brought both down in the same day?!? And 4 planes got hijacked in the same day?!? Too many questions, it was the government no matter what anyone says!

Answer 5

Obviously they fell because of Man Made Global Warming. You have no idea how many SUV's and limousines there are in Manhattan.

Answer 6

2 that I know of.

Answer 7

The answer is: 0.

The planes aren't what caused the twin towers to fall. That fact is slowly but surely being revealed to the world.

Answer 8

Do you think anyone on YA knows the answer to this question? The question you really are asking is why did WTC 1 and 2 go down after being struck by planes? I don't know why other than scalding jet fuel weakening the structures and causing collape. And if you think you know something, share it. Otherwise, your speculation is venomous.

Answer 9

ok, c'mon, let's see your links to these "other" planes that hit.

I'll wait.


Still waiting.

Nothing?

Thought so.

Answer 10

I appreciate the effort but I think it's time to move on
