Strange world.

I heard on the radio that the reason the WTC building collapsed so suddenly and peculiarly symmetrically is that the structure was supported by the metal shell, which was not built to withstand temperatures of over 1500 degrees, which that burning plane, with its load of gasoline, generated. So when the outer shell a few floors from the top melted, the upper floors, too heavy to be supported by the structure under them, fell, flattening the lower floors one after the other with their accumulating weight.
