Is it possible for the world trade center to have collapsed from having planes flown into them?

I remember an airplane crashed into the Metlife building in the 90s, how come that didn't collapse?

9/11 was a lie for Bush to expand the American empire to the Middle East and to steal oil.

Why aren't more physicists and Engineers speaking out against the preposterous claims by the 9/11 Commission that airplanes can cause entire 1000+foot skyscrapers to fall?

    Your memory (and apparently other brain function) is faulty. The Met Life Building was never hit by an airplane. When it was the PanAm Building a copter crashed on the helipad on top of it. Just the fuel load on the Boeing's that hit the towers were several times heavier than that entire helicopter.

    9/11 was a real, but Bush did misrepresent the attacks as an excuse to invade Iraq, so this bit of paranoia is not completely misplaced.

    Engineers and physicists are not speaking out because they believe in facts, evidence,and science. All of the facts, evidence and science show that the airliners that hit the towers would not and did not collapse the towers, but the resulting fires could and did cause the collapse.

    If 9/11 was a conspiracy, don't you think that using some back channels to get some radicals to fly a airplane into the towers would be a lot easier than trying to hire hundreds if not thousands of workers to rig demolition charges on three buildings full of people without getting noticed or having a crisis of conscience? Did the WTC towers have collapse to convince the Americans to go to war? Did the Arizona have to blow up for the US to enter WWII. The damages had no effect on the reaction.

    Also remember that in 1993, some people tried to plant a bomb in one tower in a much less elaborate setup before there was tightened security. Do you remember how that turned out?

    When the airplanes struck the towers, they destroyed or damaged all five elements of those towers.

    The Hat Truss

    Floor Trusses

    Outer wall

    and

    core

    So all four are either damaged or destoryed.

    Secondly you can't compare the Metlife building with the twin towers, they have totally different designs.

    When 30 floors fall on top of one, the buildings are going to fall.

    You can see the point of failure for example in the South Tower, where the floors pull the outer wall causing it to bow inward causing the top 30 floors to fall.

    if you can't understand that, then all hope is lost.

    The 9/11 Commission is not the body that made the claim that the buildings collapsed from structural damage and fire.

    That is the National Institute of Standard and Technology.

    You just read that stuff somewhere on a conspiracy website or watched one of those retarded YouTube videos, didn't you.

    You do realize that when the jet made contact with the W.T.C. that it was full of jet fuel, metal is forged or made if you will from material that is akin to molten lava simply put with the amount of fuel that was on the jets all things metal began to buckle, that is 1 conspiracy that I for 1 will never believe he [ Bush ] knew nothing of it. So far we have not had a President that could live with himself knowing of that kind of pending disaster

    well, im noe physicist or engeneer, but it sure looked possible to me. they definetly got hit, and definetly collapsed.
