World Trade Center – Anatomy Of The Collapse
TV Documentary (2002)
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were designed to be
impervious to an attack by airplane. But the events of September 11
revealed a horrific flaw in the plans. Find out how and why the two
towers, once thought to be indestructible, were reduced to rubble.
CGI Graphics and eye-witness accounts unravel the split-second events
of the 11th of September in visual detail, explaining the answers to
the questions that haunt the American public.
This documentary covers the technical engineering analysis of the
structural failure. The information presented will be of interest to both
the layman and people with an engineering background.

Usually taller building that is that landmark for that country, that’
terrorists big target. The world trade center was the target sadly :/
RIP guy tozzoli he died in february 2013 :(
very good documentary
It’s sad, when even reporters on the scene understand what’s happening and
there are thousand of first eye witnesses that there are still people
claiming “there were not planes” or “there were explosives” or “insert
arbitrary claim here that contradicts to any other conspiracy theory but is
of course the only and truthest truth”… oh dear.
It wasn’t anyone’s fault… Those Buildings were coming Down. Nothing man
made could of withstood It… Not even five walls in the Pentagon… Why
don’t you’s test the theory… so the people can test relate the forces
involved … Better then the Best Bunker Buster ever”…
Finally, a serious WTC review, which describes most of the technical
reasons for collapse. Excellent documentary. THX.
Brilliant design bar the underfloor trusses, and basically the only
concrete used on each floor/storey of the towers was the 4″ depth of
concrete used in the floors of office space area. Also precast stairwells
and a few other bits in the core area as well – but mostly steel and fresh
air.
I bet if they hit closer to the 20th floor and below the buildings would
have come down more like a large domino piece.
I loved the Twin Towers. It was majestic. The view at the top was
one-of-a-kind. The buildings was such a landmark to see when landing at
JFK. You just know, “you’re home”.
truthers? where is all the desks and chairs? not one found.
I’m not sure that exterior tube couldn’t sustain itself as a grid which
consists of columns and beams tight together, even if the all floors were
removed.
1:33 how did I know that word “inevitable” was gonna be used! Its been
several years since I watched this til now.
Thank you for posting this. The 9/11 “Truthers” don’t understand, on any
level, how the structure of the two towers was radically different than
most buildings – that the structural steel that held the building together
was on the exterior of the building, held together by floor trusses. Once
the trusses let go then nothing held the sides in place and the building
pancaked, floor upon floor. Not a controlled demolition, but similar
looking because of the buildings design.
Thanks for posting this!
I remember seeing his when it came out…..I have been looking for this for
a while!
