I haven't read every response in this thread, so forgive me if I say something which has already been addressed.
I'm not architect/engineer, but there is one thing that always perplexed me. Both of the towers were hit relatively high up, so how was it that they ended up collapsing? It seems to me that, if anything should have happened, the floors above the impact point should have either:
1.) Fallen off to the side (The fact that they fell straight down when the planes hit at an angle seems rather... Incredulous) or
2.) Simply caved in, but not have caused the both towers to collapse on themselves. As I stated earlier, I'm not an archtect/engineer, but it seems rather odd that the towers collapsed the way they did, considering how high up they were hit.
In fact, I remember when it happened (I was in physics class) and the thought NEVER crossed my mind that the towers would collapse, because it just didn't-- And still doesn't-- Seem possible, considering how they were hit.
I remember there being a video from Osama stating that even he was surprised that the towers caved in as they did, as he was only expecting the floors above the impact point to cave in.
That's my $.02 (A bit late, I know. But better late than never).
