Resonance......look up the tacoma narrows bridge collapse for an idea on a much larger scale

Hmmm. Doesn't LOOK windy enough, but ---Resonant frequencies?

If you cannot see the problems there I don't hold a lot of hope for you.
In essence, all you're saying is the engineers who built it thought it probably could withstand the impact, and maybe the fire.
Well the engineers who built the Tacoma narrows bridge assumed it would not fall down on it's own. When it did collapse it was the first time a bridge had collapsed due to harmonics and wind shear. I guess it was a government conspiracy because the engineers hadn't planned for it to fall down that way?
Are you trying to say it was the first time engineers have been wrong?


Yes, that it. The facts are wrong, so are the Engineers that designed the towers, and you are right. End of story. ROTFL. By the way I'm not saying anything, the text I posted speaks for itself. The text says nothing about maybes. They tested for these scenarios. Quit making things up, like the site you referred me to, it sounds desperate. The link you provided me outright lies about the jet's size, speed, and fuel capacity and you have the balls to refute the statements on the site I provide with no proof to back up your claims? LOL That's rich. So you're going to actually sit there and say they are wrong? I didn't know you were an expert in building skyscrapers. Oh that's right. this is the internet. We can claim to have any degrees and knowledge we want here...

Additionally, comparing a bridge that was built in 1940 to skyscraper built in the 70's is a joke. Try harder.

Once again you are under the assumption I give a rat's ass about your opinion of me. I say again I don't. So please stop making such statements.
