World Trade Center Towers Essay
PERFIDY TO THE CITIZENS
The morning of September 11th, 2001 drastically altered humanity’s course and carved a new path in American history; a world now defined as before and after. Four coordinated crashes on three major American icons trembled the ground as though a violent earthquake tore through the heart of Manhattan. How did the airplanes even intrude the Airspace of Manhattan? How did the mighty World Trade Centre Towers become a pile of rubble? How was the American government “oblivious” to the hijacked jetliners? All of these questions point toward the theory that this was an inside job; a deliberate plan involving over 30 years of painstaking planning.
Everyone has wondered how the gleaming giants of Manhattan crumbled to the floor, only to become a scarring wreckage. The ruination of the buildings could not have occurred only due to the plane’s impact. As a matter of fact, the colossal towers were made certain to turn into dirt and stone. The main World Trade Center buildings, better known as the Twin Towers, were specifically created to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. “Airplane impact tests conducted by WTC structural engineers during the design of the Twin Towers used the Boeing 707, which was one of …show more content…
“About a third of the energy of the crash dissipated before pieces of the plane struck the core columns”(AUTHOR, DATE). Scientists’ calculations show us that no more than half of the core columns were severely damaged, which is a telltale sign that the airplane barely had an effect on the collapse of the building. In addition to this, we know that the steel used to construct the core columns of the Twin Towers had a high melting point of 2795°F, whereas the jet fuel from the airplanes burns at a relatively lower temperature at about 1500°F. Simple logic suggests that the airplane wasn’t the case of
