Thanx Horgan; I and was wondering why the
top falling would take down the entire building, but the way
you explained it I got the picture, most of the top fell down through
the bottom part and that created enough pressure outward
that the whole building collapsed until there was enough
rubble at the bottom to support what little was left.
---------------------
Originally they said these were built to withstand an impact
from a plane crashing into them, seems that was a gross
over statement.
