Quote from Burtakus:
You might want to check your facts. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/707family/product.html can provide you with more accurate information. The 767 is a good bit larger and heavier than the 707.
exactly. you said it. A BIT. not much, just a good BIT.
if a brick wall can withstand the impact of a modern day car, the chances are that if a suv hit it, it may crack, but wouldnt collapse into little bits.
anyway, besides the structure of the towers, what i find really amazing is how those pilots, with so little training, and with their experience limited to light aircraft manage to fly those planes with such accuracy. did you note the angle those planes came in at?
i guess most of us can drive a car. imagine your ability to drive a car a few months after passing your test, with your abilities now after a number of years experience. now, imagine you had just past your driving test and you only have limited experience driving small hatchback cars. how well do you think you would cope if you jumped into an 18-wheeler rig, and tried precision driving at high speeds?
remember that my comparison here is VERY simplistic. flying a plane requires you to also monitor wind speed, height, etc. its a whole lot more complex than driving a massive truck i am sure.
ALSO remember that these 'terrorists' who flew the planes - also were out the night before drinking heavily and smoking cannabis as claimed by the cia - as well as womanizing in strip joints (if you believe the cia) they sound like real dedicated muslims dont they! they also sound like they were in tip top condition - which you need to be to fly a plane of this size especially with no experience.
i honestly think that people who cant see the massive gaps in the official explanations are thick. maybe i am wrong and its just a question of personality and upbringing:
- those who have been brought up to be 'yes' people and believe everything they are told (ie intellectually lazy),
- and those who think about issues at hand, and examine all the possibilities to make up their own minds.
