If you read the Congressional report on the issue, it appears the answer has nothing to do with the names of the airlines. "United" doesn't imply anythhing relating to the USA, while American does. In terms of the answer saying the flight paths went over the twin towers is simply incorrect... with all due respect. (Newark, Boston and Dulles flights went no where near NYC). What it appears is that those flights were picked for the following reasons: 1. They were large aircraft on transcontinental flights and would be loaded with lots of fuel. 2. They flight loads were fairly light for that mornng, making them easier targets. 3. A possible 3rd reason which was never able to be100% confirmed was that since at least Boston airport was scoped out prior to the attacks, security was easier to pass through at that location. Hope this helps answer your question. |

How did the World Trade Center How did the world trade center
fall straight down? I mean,
the planes hit the top of the
towers. Shouldn't the top
portion tip over?
PS: I'm not saying it was all
planed by Bush or anything,
I'm just wondering why the
towers fell straight down and
didn't tip over.

structural weakness from the impact, then further weakness from the heat, You will hear some folks say it was not hot enough to melt steel. That is true BUT steel loses it's structural integrity at just half the melting point |

What made World Trade Center 7 I'm not a conspiracy theorist
or even remotely believe Sept.
11 was an inside job, but I am
curious as to why world trade
center 7 fell. No other
buildings around it fell, and
it was the third time in
history that a building fell
because of a fire. The other
two times in history were the
other two world trade centers.
I was just seeing if anyone
could give me some insight. By
the way I am planning on going
into the marines after college
to fight those damn terrorist:
for those of you who might
question my patriotism.
