NOT a Boeing 767 almost fully loaded with 90,000 litres of jet fuel at an airspeed in excess of 500 mph. In effect both buildings were doomed from the instant of impact on. The amount of time to full structural failure probably determinable mathmatically. The internet is choc o' bloc with all kinds of conspiracy and other nuts who have nothing better to do with their time then to spin such nonsence. Regards, Greg
