my apologies, I missed that he was discussing that it was Boeing 707's the building was designed to withstand. It's no problem. I'm glad we found the source of the misunderstanding. Well, I looked up the stats, and I have to say, the 707 and the 757...  [Read More]

I'd reply with a lot of text on how when you remove the 61st floor from between the 60th and 62nt floors, there's nothing to support the top of the building and that(now unsupported) building is very heavy, but this should be rather obvious.Link (htt...  [Read More]
