It amazes me that they stood so long after being hit by full size airliners. Can you imagine the damage that the hit itself probably did to the entire structure?

Fox, Please Fire Gerhaldo! I promise I will watch much more each week and will again start putting channels at public places on Fox News Like I did in the early days.

Great idea.

A fair attempt to calculate the energy involved is located here:

Although the 500,000 ton weight of each building has since been demonstrated to be incorrect:

Analysis of the Mass and Potential Energy of World Trade Center Tower 1

1 Abstract

The mass and potential energy of one of the Twin Towers is calculated based on available data. The mass for each floor is established based on floor types, documented design loads, and estimated in-service live loads. The calculated mass of 288,100 metric tons (317,500 short tons) is found to correspond with two other comparable structures in terms of mass per unit floor area, NIST’s SAP2000 model, and the reported amount of recovered debris. The calculated mass refutes the popular notion that the building weighed 500,000 tons.
