You're right. Because it would be difficult for them to get the permits, they hired people to fly airplanes into them and kill 3,000 people just to avoid the red tape....

If you're asking why the towers fell straight down instead of falling over, it's because the planes didn't have the impact power to knock them over, and the building's design (a weight-bearing external frame and an internal structure that automatically redistributed weight as load-bearing members failed) meant that a floor's support would fail all at once, and the force would be directed almost entirely straight downward.

In other words, good engineering.

right, anyway, my big red question is unanswered. or answered with sarcasm. if thats the best u can do ok i understand.

Given how innovative the design of the WTC was for its day, I think the design was as good or better than we had a right to expect. The major flaw was the blown-on insulation on the steel beams. But to criticize that, you'd have to expect them to have anticipated a high-speed jet impact. Any other sort of fire, the insulation would have worked just fine.

so the building was built to last forever and ever and ever, right? like most american buildings?

I have no idea what the expected lifetime of the WTC was. They certainly try to build them to last a long time. What's your point?

my point is that there is this theory (dont know if true or not) that twin towers many many offices were closed due to some problems like asbestus or something and they couldnt get the permit to demolish it....sources say that, dont know if these sources are as reliable as the ones who found Saddam was stockpiling WMD's but it's still a source.

Popular Mechanics did an in-depth debunking of virtually every wacky conspiracy theory involving 9-11. Read through the whole thing, and THEN tell me that 9-11 was a setup....

i debunk the debunkers with one paragraph: fake bin laden confession tape, invasion under false pretext.

i need not say no more to a functioning human being. any judge would dismiss all other evidence on basis of just one lie, we had mountains of them.
