Type1isFun Member	posted September 11, 2001 08:19 PM Look what i found! I stole this from anuther website. here is sum hard facts. Why did the World Trade Center towers collapse? Weren't they designed to be earthquake-proof and impact-proof? The 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center, which stood at a height of 1,353 feet, were designed to withstand earthquakes as well as impacts like that of a plane. This was evidenced by the fact that the buildings did not fall over on impact, says Brian Markham, a structural engineer with the Ove Arup & Partners engineering firm. The more likely cause of the buildings' collapse was the resulting fire, exacerbated by the huge quantities of jet fuel present. When a fire ignites in a large building, its steel core does not melt, but over time it weakens. As the steel supporting the floors collapses, a "pancaking" effect will result, with each of the upper floors collapsing onto the floor below. This is why the disintegration of the towers was not limited to the top floors. With the accumulated weight of each collapsed floor, the stacked floors continued to fall. This explains why the building collapsed vertically, rather than tipping over. Big buildings are structurally designed to withstand a blaze for between 2 to 3 hours--time enough to put out the fire and evacuate occupants. Both World Trade Center towers collapsed in about an hour, probably because the jet fuel caused the fire to burn hotter and faster than any would have anticipated. Markham, while unaware of the fire rating for the World Trade Center buildings, suggests that even with a standard 2- to 3-hour burn time, it would have been extremely difficult to evacuate the 50,000 people estimated possibly to have been inside the buildings. He adds that the tragedy would have been compounded because, while many of the buildings' occupants could not have been evacuated via the exits, they would have been moved to ostensibly __________________ Official Mike Long Minion
ffanatic Member	posted September 11, 2001 08:26 PM I need to be a part of the fastest growing MOTL post ever. What occured today was something that should not happen ever, to any country, for any reason. I send my deepst condolences to anyone who lost someone in this senseless act of blind pride and egotism. I hope that whoever responsible for this action is caught and punished in this life and the next. __________________ " It is winter. My car is nestled safely in a ditch.

Vegeta2711 Member	posted September 11, 2001 08:42 PM I actually think we got off kinda lucky, after seeing everything that happened. I mean, it was horrible to see the towers fall. But, the towers could of just collapsed instantly, and then the death toll would be looking around 30,000-50,000. As for the one plane that crashed with-out hitting anything, I think that the pilots decided to just nose-dive the thing, instead of get killed and then have the terrorists crash it into another building. I mean becasue it crashed like an hour and a half after the other planes, they must of had some clue what was happening. There might even be some more crap that's going to still happen... like that van full of explosives. Vegeta2711
