Re: Structural failure of NY's WTC

What I am trying to say that is that I believe that when they designed it they assumed (badly) that the plane crash and fire would be located on one floor.

Remember Boeing 767 and 757 were used which are bigger and carry more fuel

Maybe, but it wasn't the crash that brought down the buildings. It
was the subsequent fire.
