Doesn't mayer. 767 weighs ~300000 lbs at takeoff.
Meh...good point. But the towers were still designed to withstand impacts like that.
Correct...They were designed with that in mind... The Twin Towers were designed to withstand 150-mph hurricane winds. Dr. Thomas Eagar of MIT likened the impact of the 9/11 airliners on the towers to βa bullet hitting a treeβ β negligible.
In a White Paper circulated in 1964, the engineers claimed that the design of the Twin Towers could survive the impact of a 4-engine jetliner at 600 mph at the time of impact.
In 1993 the chief engineer, John Skilling, told the Seattle Times that the towers would not only survive the jet impact, but would survive the fires as well.

Again, what is the first step before a building is demolished?
There are two things that are at odds here. People saying there's no way a plane would penetrated the structure and they were brought down in a controlled demolition
Wire it with explosives?
