Still hearing about 911. What are the odds on three buildings all collapsing in on themselves?

Question

I mean three buildings in close proximity and on the same day and even though they were built to handle such an occurance.
The odds would have to be a billion to one.
Buildings Don't "Completely" Cave In On Themselves Unless They Are Assisted, do they ?

Answer 1

Two of the buildings were hit by jets & that's why they collapsed. Nothing unusual in that.

And WTC7, like six other buildings, was hit by debris & was effectively destroyed. Yes, gigantic pieces of the towers, falling from up to 1300 feet, can hit a building & destroy it. As I said, seven buildings were destroyed by the falling towers:

The following buildings collapsed on 9/11, or were massively damaged & had to be demolished: 7 World Trade Center, the Marriott World Trade Center, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 6 World Trade Center, 5 World Trade Center, 4 World Trade Center , & the Deutsche Bank Building

Some other points:

1. The towers were not made to "handle such an occurence"

Leslie Robertson, one of the chief designers of the twin towers, said that the towers were designed to handle the impact of a Boeing 707, but not a 767. He said they did NOT take into account the burning fuel, either. These 2 factors made all the difference. (Popular Mechanics, “Debunking 9/11 Myths” page 31)

Robertson was “racked with grief after 9/11,” meaning he himself was angry that he hadn't considered the effect of burning fuel

2. The buildings did not "completely cave in." The debris pile was hundreds of feet high after the collapse. Also, as I said, they struck & destroyed 7 other buildings.

Answer 2

They were assisted. The two biggest ones had airliners fly right into them. I'm not sure why the third one collapsed, but I know a smaller building did.

Stop with your conspiracy theories and enjoy the time off work.

Answer 3

First of all there were only 2 buildings that collapsed and one small point you forgot to mention that both were hit by 2 civil airliners travelling at about 400mph and half full of aviation fuel If you take a whole floor out of a building the floors above will crash down creating a domino effect

Answer 4

Not exact but the odds are greater that 1,000,000,000 to 1.

You have better odds of getting struck by lightning on back to back days in Antarctica in the middle of July than having three buildings just collapse like that.

You have better odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot on three consecutive drawings.

Answer 5

You should trace back the discovery channels.

Those buildings were not built for those situations. It was their structural and material problems causing them to collapse. Problems in design!!
