Re: The WTC survived the crashes just fine.

If it collapsed, it didn't "survive the crashes just fine".

The designers just didn't take into account thousands (tens or hundreds?) of gallons of jet fuel poured into the structure. Unexpected side effects. As a programmer, I know all about that. This is a majorly ouch unexpected side effect.

That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing [as freedom], on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion; yet arms ... should be the last resource. - George Washington

Why do the cockpits have to be accessible from the cabin? - (mmoffitt) - (41) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:19:18 AM EDT

Lots of reasons. - (addison) - (40) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:25:00 AM EDT

Most of that could be fixed. - (mmoffitt) - (6) - Sept. 12, 2001, 11:40:15 AM EDT

Fixing is relative. - (addison) - (5) - Sept. 12, 2001, 12:14:12 PM EDT
