They did envision the scenario that a plane could "accidently" crash into the buildings, at that time in 1970, the largest commercial airplane in use was the boeing 707, so the building was rated to withstand a crash from that of a boeing 707. They didn't know that less than 10 years later, these much larger aircraft would be developed, you have wide bodies, and jumbo jets being developed, and what hit the towers was a boeing 767. It's much heavier, and a much wider plane than the 707 was, so the buildings while they withstood the original impact, the just couldn't survive the constant jet fuel burning so hot, and the structure was just too comprised to survive, thus collapsing
Building #7 is never brought up...go research what was in the huge building ,,and what was happening during that time !!,, oh and it "self imploded" due to office 🔥??!!! CANNOT HAPPEN !!,, i was a union ironworker for 28 years,,i spent my life building skyscrapers...this is the only day in the history of skyscrapers that any of them self imploded ovwr fire ,,theres even been commercial airlines that have struck skyscrapers ...NONE have ever collapsed...hmmmmm??
No, the top 15 floors pulverized just the 16th floor below it. Then these 16 floors pulverized the 17th floor below them, and so on. That's how a progressive collapse works, load is compounded in a chain reaction
@@shawn_530 No, I was checking out of the USMC that day at Camp Lejeune, NC. I saw what everyone else saw. I also watched a BBC reporter tell me building 7 just fell 30 minutes before it actually fell.... that should provoke questions... if it doesn't, you get another JFK. A great man dead and no real answers.
The guy who designed the tower's is a scapegoat, how could he of predicted or guessed that someone would fly commercial airliners in to the tower's back in the 60s when they were designed and how did they fall in a way like buildings do under controlled demolition that's highly suspicious.
I remember the one man interviewed, he said. We didnt know about a plane, cause we work in the basement of the North Tower. And all of a sudden we got blown in there, everybodys ears got clogged, like a firestorm. Ut just blew. -4th floor basement. And tthen ee come outside and they tell us a plane hit
@4:05 "never again will buildings like this be built , if we can help it" .... um lady how dumb do you sound... of course man has to build UP.. its better for the earth and just prevent freakin terrorist from tryna destroy a civil country..... its that simple.
14:38 I grew up with the Twin Towers here in NYC. I went on the overservation desk as kid back in 1994, and I was fourteen when they were destroyed. Damn I miss them..
It's funny, I moved away from New York in 1968, I never sought to see them on visits back other than the view from a window. They weren't a part of my New York memories, but I sure was horrified when 9/11 happened.
The announcement to remain was automated and couldn't be switched off after a disruption of power temporarily .... there's a documentary with this included. Who on earth would stay!!!!? Though didn't most go out a safer way, not plaza.
There were many explosions cause junk was falling from the towers and the fire, from jet fuel, inside the buildings were causing mini explosions. Don't have to be a genius to realize that.
So did firefighters, but what nobody reported were blast effects or high-speed shrapnel. Loud bangs were determined to be floors pancaking, thrown items, and jumpers hitting metal roofing structures. A lot of the usual knuckleheads here making their rather predictable nonsense comments, but the collapses started at the penetrations.
First of all, why do buildings need to be so damned tall, why? I understand that there is an aesthetic component to it, but didn't they think that when the truck bomb in the lower level of the parking garage failed to bring down the towers, that these demented arabs would find another method to bring them down? And was our government so "COMPLACENT" to realize that Osama Bin Laden had already declared war on us? Also during a congressional hearing, when the democrats grilled chief Pfipfer about the communications problems of the FDNY, what did they expect his answer(s) would be?
People always say that in the south tower someone came on the speakers and said to stay in the building. Who is the actual person or persons who gave those announcements? I never see their names or their responses to being interviewed. Am I wrong? Everything else about 9/11 was investigated. Who were the people telling them to stay in the building. The actual people.
They were following procedures. It’s like an intermittent fire alarm, means it’s in another building or area. They didn’t contemplate building failure and then collapse. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I’m sure if they knew then what they do now they’d have done it differently. There were people calling people they knew in the towers telling them what had happened. People inside the building didn’t know but people on the outside did. Very horrible situation.
They interviewed an English woman for a documentary about 9/11, she was in the North tower I believe in the floors below the impact zone, and she was on the phone to her manager in London and he knew more than she did!! Due to him being able to watch the events unfold on television. Janice Brooks her name is.
@@davidlewis6670 but there were actual people who made that decision. There were actual people who got on the speakers. I am not trying to blame them. I just want to know why the decision was made not to mention their names, even in the official government reports. I want to know why the media didn’t find out and ask those people to tell their stories. The only person who ever mentioned a name was Brian Clark. I can’t find it now but he gave an interview where he mentioned a man who got on the speakers and told people to go back to their offices. Clark gave his name and said he was always in the building and well known. I am asking because somebody out here on the internet has to know the names and I have to believe it was reported at least a few times.
At some point in our lives, we all have moments like this. For example, I donated a large cuddly Alsatian plushie that I'd named Zoe today; she'd been my constant companion throughout my four years of University and it hurt to give her up but I told myself I needed the room she was taking up and, being a Volunteer of the Charity Shop I donated her to, I know she'll no doubt find a happy home where someone will love her like I did. On the plus side, I sensibly made the decision in order to accomodate the Skye plushie one of my Babysitting charges gave me for Christmas, as she knows that Skye is my favourite Paw Patrol Pup and being a Cockapoo, the plush is obviously a lot smaller than an Alsatian plush.
No matter what everyone says, truth is they built the Twin Towers for shit: weak and wobbly, sacrificing safety for speed of construction and lower costs, focusing on maximizing open space for businesses, with interiors made of drywall and plaster; not just the towers didn't resist but they took with them thousands who couldn't escape after their emergency exists collapsed while most of their systems failed immediately (like water sprinklers or the PA); and on top of all, their design was hideous. They fucked this one up.
