Im guessing a lot more people would have died if it had fallen over. That was probably one of the worst disasters since the titanic. But it did change America's view on some things.The reason is because the entire floors were heated to extreme temperatures. The building was designed to withstand the impact actually but the steel used was temperature sensitive. It softened a huge amount when heated. Once one vertical coloumn went the weight shifted to the rest because the structure overall was quite rigid. This caused a rapid failing of all of the supports. The airplane did not damage the building significantly, heating the metal supports to over 1000Deg F did.Ever notice how at 9/11 there was a plane crash into 2 giant buildings and the buildings just towered straight down instead of falling over to the sides? I have some doubts of the airplane being the main reason. And maybe the plane that went missing had something of great importance on it and someone wanted to steal it or the pilot was drinking and driving.
The scale is also important. At those large sizes things tend to collapse directly downward as the structural rigidity and strength is less per unit weight.
And I'm not sure changes were for the better really. More paranoia and more people panicking over a threat thousands of times less dangerous than normal driving or getting the flu. Revoking the rights Americans have had since the country was founded. Airport security that wastes unbelieveable amounts of time costing huge sums of money when it could be made just as safe in better ways. Not to mention the post doc I worked with named Osama (quite a common name actually)- reminds me of the Michael Bolton dilemma from office space.Im guessing a lot more people would have died if it had fallen over.

Im not one to side with republicans on any issue other than perhaps fiscal responsibility and even I don't think it was an inside job.Ok guys lets be real, 9/11 was most likely a government job anyways. American government wanted iraqs oil and wanted a regime change there for ages, so they did what they tried to do with Cuba (until JFK cussed out some generals on TV). And that is frame the country to rally support for a war, there is no real democracy. If there was the bush would have let people vote about the war. Instead of just going in.
Any person being serious about this thinks it's crashed or landed somewhere. Hopefully everyone on board isn't lost but as more time goes on with no word it seems more and more likely.Um... doesn't a plane run on fuel, so then it would have crashed by now or it's engines overheat/explode.
It's obviously ALIENS._. THEY ABDUCTED THE PLANEAliens don't make sense to me?
True i need to sign a contract to go on a planeIm guessing a lot more people would have died if it had fallen over. That was probably one of the worst disasters since the titanic.
