"designed" to be "un-sinkable."

i think that is a stretch.
his "pilots" werent that good they hit the part of the building they could reach (the high parts) and aimed low enough so they wouldnt accidentally go over it
the rest was, in billiards terminology, "Pure Slop"
if OBL had called his shot, then it would have been and impressive feat of engineering, but he didnt.
i think he got lucky as fuck, he could just as easily have ripped the felt

No way, I have seen a video of the guy we hunted down and killed for this. I had a translator verify it.
They were discussing the difference and Bin said several times, "not steel frame." He said, "If a plane were to hit here, (indicated a small distance down from his palm, and his palm about 3 feet off the floor, they were sitting on) it all comes down." (he motions with his hands)
And there was an argument and everyone one was talking at once, but Mo said they all thought it was impossible. They were sure that it had to be taken from the bottom, like the last time it was tried.
Bin seemed to convince one of the younger guys with some quick talk about steel and concrete but Mo could not make out all the details. They all looked at the elder, including Bin, and the elder nodded a bit.
Then they all stated laughing and mincing a plane slamming a building,
He knew exactly what to do, and made the study after the first attempt failed. I am sure he had seen the plans.
The idea that this was just luck that happened 2 times, is just wrong, The buildings had a flaw.
And the flaw was covered by a lie about an airplane strike from the builder. (some will say, now, the Builder said multiply plane strikes...more lies.)
Bin Laden saw through the lie and hit us hard.

Please. That is the point. The first time was against the building's strength, assuming it was steel frame, that it had to be taken from the bottom.
Are there any other delicate tube within a tube buildings that might look like tasty targets to terrorists?
the John Hancock Center in Chicago (1105 ft), the Standard Oil of Indiana Building in Chicago (1125 ft), and the Sears Tower in Chicago (1450 ft).
Chicago looks to be the next target.
So simple, O'hare less than 5 minutes away.

I vaguely remember there were a few much shorter examples.
I remember there was big opposition to building it. I am pretty sure, those are not the same construction if you look into it.
I did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper_design_and_construction
Yep, same construction.
Also according to this piece, most building of more than 40 stories use a tube design.
Targets galore.

40 stories is crazy high.
You Americans are mad wanting to be that high up all the time, gravity at that height is a definate killer.
