Hi Jones,
Interesting that we have never heard from the original team of structural engineers that designed and supervised construction of the Towers.

We certainly have! The chief designer gave a presentation on it shortly after the collapse. IIRC, he explained exactly what had happened, how it came down, how the floors pancaked once one of them let go, and said that it had been built to withstand _almost_ what it was subjected to but that the fully-fueled aircraft which hit it where larger than what it could handle.

As I recall, he was said to have finished by sobbing, "I wish they'd stayed up a little longer!"

I didn't see it, I just read excerpts after the fact. Don't recall where it was or who the live audience was.
