My thoughts and beliefs of "Why The Collapse of Twin Trade Towers" In the 1940's when the military plane struck The Empire State Building, the building did not collapse. And it is my belief that if a passenger jet today struck the Empire State Building, the building would not have collapse, because the building was built strong inside and outside. It is also my belief that The World Trade Towers where built very strong with steel columns only around the outside of the structure. On the History Channel, I saw a program of the building of the Twin Towers in New York. On every floor of the building there where no center steel columns to support each floor, so it is my belief that if there was center steel columns on each floor of the towers, these buildings would still be standing today. Just my thoughts and beliefs, and I Pray for all those whom Died and their love one's during those attacks on America... Ernest
