"Inviting Disaster" book by James R. Chiles

Hi KT - around 4'th September, a friend e-mailed me a link he'd stumbled on in connection with a discussion we were having about the Bhopal incident that took place in India some years ago...

Never dreamed we'd live such a horrific event so shortly after.

But the author of the book mentions something in connection with the engineering of the WTC towers on his site

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the families and survivors affected by the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. And I want to express my respect to the engineers of the World Trade Center towers, who built them strong enough to take a horrific impact and fuel fire, one standing almost two hours before finally collapsing. This gave thousands of people the time to flee. It was a world-class achievement.
