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.
