Dale, maybe it was a B25, but was definitely the Empire State Building. I just watch a slow motion of the second crash and both collapses. Following observations: 1. The crash did not do major structural damage at impact. 2. The collapses started just above the impact points and pancaked downward. 3. The height of the crashes was just about ideal to create such a sequence, high enough to prevent firefighting efforts but with enough weight above the impact point to pancake the building when the structure gave way at the fire point. A few stories higher and no collapse. 4. Whoever did this was either lucky or had very carefully planned the attacks for maximum damage.
