Well, thats a good point. According to the official story, it caught on fire, the support structure was weakened, and it collapsed, just as the WTC did. Now you know how conspiracy kooks get full ammo for their guns.
the officials go into very elaborate details, when questioned about how the towers collapsed. After all, the WTC towers were designed to withstand an impact from a smaller jet, (specifically a 707 sized passenger jet) but todays larger jets were just too much for the towers to withstand, all that fuel and what not. It was the fuel that burned so intensely hot as to melt the support beams, each floor collapsing on itself, the next floor unable to withstand the added wieght, thus the towers fell perfectly vertically, just as they were designed to.
'Umm, question Mr propaganda man, What happend to building 7?' there was no jet fuel in there?!?!'
'OK, well, uhhhh. Obviously there was alot going on and the building caught on fire and collapsed also.'
'You mean, kind sir, that for the first time in history, a modern skcyscraper failed from fire?'
'And for the scond time? and the third time from a WASTE BASKET fire?!! All in the same day?!!!!! And they all fell perfectly vertically as they were designed to???!?!? Hmmm, how does the building know when to collapse? All of the supports have to give way at exactly the same time or the buildong would twist and curl and eventually come down horizontally causing massive damage?!?!' Wow, what tremendous luck. This dude Bin laden is good, real fricken good.!! He could make a billion doing controled demolition.! How come alll of the other buildings in the whole world have to be rigged with explosives and timed perfectly in order to come down like that? How come...'
'OK' says the PR man 'somebody get that squeak outta here, shes one of those conspiracy kooks! Conspiracy kooks are not to be tolerated!'
'But my son was killed in tower #2, I wanna know what happened!'
'Read the official story! By the way, you got any more sons? We gonna go get some oil! Muhahahahah'.
