The buildings collapsed top down. It's very rare that a building collapses on itself like this without the aid of explosives (the kind demolition teams use).

it's also rare, as in never, that a building was hit by a 767 flying at 500 mph loaded with 10,000lbs of jet fuel and the impact severed many of the support columns... there are photos that show the top of the tower staring to lean before it gave way

as for the pentagon you may forget that it was pure luck that that plane slammed into a section that had been just renovated with bomb proof concrete and steel... the area struck by the plane also had blast-resistant windows—two inches thick and 2,500 pounds each—that stayed intact during the crash and fire... not to mention all the witnesses who saw the plane it the building... another govt cover-up i guess, LOL

The other thing that this illustrates is the complacency of govt...........the warnings were written on the wall. It takes alot to bring down a building, a building of that size. It looked as if those towers disintegrated. It looks so unreal to see those events on film today. Our govt extended a long leash for immigration. Like the SEC, like the Dept of immigration, have been inactive agencies. 2 of the most important regulating agencies in the country, the Congress and former presidents may have well cut off their heads, way understaffed, and lack the authority to curtail the inflow. I bet there are more restricitions today on the number of Irish coming in annually than those of the middle-east, and Mexico. Open Borders, Open Ports for any country would spell disaster.
