How do you explain it? I think they would have fallen if Donald Trump walked over and sneezed on them, because fastenings were removed and explosives were put in place, then detonated. And another thing, I sincerely doubt that those so-called hijackers were flying the planes. AT least two of them couldn't drive cars, and it's a certainty the pilots would have ditched the planes rather than fly them into the buildings. Those planes weren't controlled by anyone in any cockpit. IMO

Neither tower was hit with a "glancing blow". Both towers were hit head on.

I see nothing sinister here (with the towers collapsing).

I agree that Bush's reaction is scary - either he knew something or he was paralyzed. But I think the 2nd explanation is more believable - the guy is a doofus.
