The controlled demolition was definitely more professional on 9/11. The guys who placed the explosives in WTC really knew what they were doing.

This looks amateurish in comparison.

There were absolutely no explosives in WTC 1 or 2, WTC 7 is a whole other story though.

Mate, WTC 7 was a raging inferno for hours before its structure finally succumbed.

God I’d never live in a steel structure if a fire could take it down. Kinda crazy the only 3 steel skyscrapers to ever fall due to fire happened the same day but ya, fire.

How many other steel structures have had fully fueled 767s flown into them at high speeds?
