Why Did Towers Fall?

The September 11, 2001, events remain a traumatic memory for many Americans. The horrific terrorist attacks that day destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Since then, many people have asked the question – why did the towers fall?

The answer to this question is complex, involving a combination of factors. The towers collapsed primarily because they were not constructed to withstand the tremendous impacts of the two hijacked airplanes that crashed into them. Built-in the 1970s, the Twin Towers were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707, the largest airplane available at the time. However, the aircraft that struck the towers were much larger than the 707s, and their impact was far greater.

The towers were also not engineered to withstand the intense heat from the burning fuel inside the aircraft. The intense heat of the blaze weakened the steel supports of the buildings and caused them to buckle and eventually collapse. The heat also cut the fireproofing material that had been applied to the steel beams, making them more vulnerable to the intense heat.

Additionally, the towers were not built to withstand the intense vibrations that accompanied the impacts of the aircraft. The vibrations caused the
