"buildings in the 70s were not designed to withstand the force of a plane but in 1944 a military plane crashed in tempire state building with little or no damage to that building because the building was constructed to the NYC code"

> There actually was quite a lot of damage done to the Emipre State Building, but it also withstood the hit of a smaller, slower airplane that wasn't filled nearly to the brim with highly flammable aviation fuel.

"I have worked in many in NYC buildings for 50 yrs as a stemfitter and i can say NOT all buildings are created equea"

> DUH - But in hearing an interview of the architect firm that designed the WTC they stated that the WTC was OVER designed - because it was really the first of its kind they designed it better than was needed - for expected conditions - a 767 was not considered to be expected.

"in days gone by beams and colums were encased in concrete now merely sprayed with asbestos and put over rusty steel that has been sitting around for months"

> Please, this is just a pack of lies. (first of all, asbestos hasn't been used since the 60's) And "rusty" steel is hardened structural steel that has only a fine layer of rust on the outside. When used in an indoor structure, rust is effectively stopped because it is not exposed to weather - simple as that.

Frankly, your ignorance is showing. If you chose to make statements around here, please do so on subject you know something about.
