"I spent more than 20 years as an architect, coming in contact with the design and construction of a few high-rise buildings. At one point, I worked for the designer of the restaurant at the top of the WTC, Windows on the World. I ate there once and toured the kitchen. When I was a student, my structural steel professor was working on the design of the WTC. He also did some structural design work on Madison Square Garden. He would regularly describe the complex steel structure of the WTC. From my dormitory building, I could see the WTC creeping its way into the sky. And more recently, my nephew was one of the people running from the dust cloud created by the crashing WTC. When I watched the towers falling, what I saw reminded me very much of a planned building demolition. It came straight down. It has taken me a long time to admit to what I actually saw on TV because of the magnitude of such a spectacle. But, if those buildings had actually been weakened by jets — and yes the jets were real and did crash — then the building would have bent in the direction of that crashing jet. Another fact is that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt or to weaken steel enough to cause a failure, especially that steel with fire proofing on it." mindfully.org
