Hi all,
Actually it's rather a blessing that the Twin Tower's structure failed in the way that it did so that they both came straight down. If either building had toppled in the way that both the Hijackers and the '93 WTC bombers had hoped they would the devastation in surrounding city blocks would have been enormous and the death toll much higher. As it was, the surrounding buildings in Liberty Plaza all suffered serious structural damage. Of course not falling at all would have been the best option, but few skyscrapers could have survived that level of damage.
