RojoNavigator, that is a excellent question, maybe because the building had been constructed to withstand most anything, high winds, etc. Perhaps better
construction in earlier years, when they considering building skyscrapers. They did not rush the construction, took a period of time to complete a building,

Player Yellowgirl28, they used different materials, the one they used at the twin towers are design to meltdown to avoid the building to topple down and cause a lot of debris especially during earthquakes

per Wikipedia, that woman was an elevator operator on the 80th floor at the time of the crash, severely burned. rescuers put her on another elevator with damaged cables, which then plummeted down. they found her in the basement rubble with broken neck back and pelvis. wow.

The elevator cable is snapped, she falls 1000 feet, a B-25's engine falls on top of her, she had to be rescued. God said, "It's not your time yet!"

Player #18390045
Uninitialized, Uninitìalzed, It does not prove 911 was an inside job, I was 6 miles from where the one plane was crashed with all people on board in PA, and we were asked to give up our rooms on top 2 floors of the hotel for first responders ,which we gladly did and we held pray sessions for and with those first responders. It was very sad
