Twin Towers Video. [WARNING]

[Metric.]

I don't get why they fell over.
like I could see them falling over if a plane hit like on the 20th floor, but they hit on like the 75th floor and they still fell down.

Think about it.

Having a boeing 757 (I think thats what it is) hit the tower is going to weaken it obviously. It didn't give way straight away, It fell down quite a bit later, It makes sense to me really..

If I had a video camera when I was near the twin towers and a plane crashed into them, I'd be more concerned about running away from flying depris(sp?) tbh..

Some of the people who filmed it close up must be pretty brave.

Well people were pretty far away with the second one, most videos were taken a good distance away. And no one knew it was going to collapse, so no one thought it was unsafe to get too close.

I guess..

But surely you wouldn't want to get too close as quite a few people jumped? It would kill you if someone jumping hit you from above, They must of realised that

Well, the first plane hit around floor 96.
The fire would of been intense due to the airplane fuel I guess and 96+ is weakened. If that collapses you've got all the weight pushing down on floors 96 and below and I guess that's why I crashed.

Plus some of the support beams running through the tower were damaged. I don't know...

I really hate bombers. They should all be killed. Stupid ******* idiots. :@

New York is a big city, with many people, at least one person would have a camera. They saw tthe first tower hit by a plane, and when they saw second one coming, decided to tape it?

The Twin Towers were not designed to stand a Hijacking mainly because there weren't many Hijackings then and the Idea of Terrorists getting a Plane and flying into two Massive Towers was unthinkable, The Joists that hold each floor up gave away because of the heat of the Fire they started to bend and eventually gave way.

Imagine being in that Plane or them Towers knowing that you might never see your family again

Hmmm, slight problem with that. The idiots end up killing themselves...

I don't understand extremists, and I doubt I ever will. I have no idea what they think they are trying to do by blowing things up and killing themselves... They are not advertising their religion, they are making it seem worse...

On that 9/11 programme the other night they said that they had fell because the fires were so hot it started to melt the metal supports in the building or something and then when the top floors crashed, they would hit the floor below so hard it would make that one collapse, then the next and so on.
