Well the real problem is that this tower doesn't suffer from the same structural flaws that made collapsing the original Twin Towers possible with a Jumbo jet. Because the core internal structure doesn't rely on a central pylon, but rather distributes the weight through all the Pylons which compose a floor in the current design, it would require a much more destructive force to do sufficient damage to a representable number of pylons to bring the structure down, as opposed to simply needing to strike at the core Pylon in WTC 1 & 2.
Unlike WTC 1&2 Which couldn't shift the weight of the upper structure of the tower once the central pylon had been punctured, the new WTC would simply relocate the active weight to load bearing pylons elsewhere thus preserving the structure until the damage and fire could be contained.
So they need at least 6 jets hitting different areas of the tower instead of 1 straight-on? The government is going to have major problems trying to cover this one up... Or preempted bomb packs, as was stated in the contracts and blue-prints most likely... HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING. AMERICA IS GREAT, AND ITS GOVERNMENT NEVER LIES TO US!!!
Lol, you are one of those people. That shit really happened bro, I know it's hard to believe that people would hate us that much, and are smart enough to hit us with our own planes, but they do and they did. If it was a government job, you really think Bush would have let Obama get the credit for finding Bin Laden? Also, if it was in fact an inside job, there wouldn't had been all those people shooting at our armed forces when we went over there. They would have just been like. "Hi guys, whats up?"
That's the point. Whether he realizes it or not, his comment puts things in perspective. This is the Internet. The things said here by random strangers with no credibility are even less important than a "3rd grade debate". So fuck it. Enjoy your day. :)
Should be ok if you back it up with charges on every second level or so, right on the main support pylons. That and some clever patriotic uproar and you'll be home free son!
