    I watched this yesterday and hadn't seen it before. It was good timing after seeing an old clip of Donald Trump on 9/11/01 on tv, opining like an idiot on various things:

    1. The buildings had the frame on the outside and were made of steel, which should have been strong enough to withstand an impact like that. (in reality, the steel exterior was largely decorative; the building was still supported and built around a central frame made of solid steel.)
    2. There must have been bombs involved because how could the planes explode like that, and the exterior should have been strong enough to not let the planes just slice through like that. (in reality the planes had enough fuel to fly to the west coast, and they were traveling over 400mph into the buildings)

    Pretty good demonstration of real factors involved. I thought the fuel distribution as the fuel tanks split open was interesting.

    • Planes explode when they crash into solid steel and are fully fueled. No way windows would stop a plane. Please MG, don’t go there.monospaced
    • The exterior of these buildings is glass and framing. Not a single one is designed to stop a passenger jet flying at 200mph fully loaded with people and fuel.monospaced
    • The center core of steel and concrete holds the building up and absolutely stopped the planes in their tracks. Everything after makes sense.monospaced
    • Surely someone here will call me silly names for writing this, but that’s okay.monospaced
    • Mono, I think you're interpreting my post in the opposite way. Re-read what I wrote. I'm saying that TRUMP thought this.mg33

    • @Gnash, you're not going to get an answer to this in lifeOBBTKN
    • oooooohhhh, I thought you were concluding that :)monospaced
    • There's an answer to building 7 if you aren't a conspiracy theorist.monospaced
    • lol imagining a jet plane bouncing off the facade because it's *check notes* made from steel and glass.face_melter
    • Found it! Listen to this utter idiot
