Airliners.net Civil Aviation: If A 707 Hit The World Trade Center?...

When the two towers that make up the World Trade Center were built, they were designed to withstand the impact of the largest airliner of the day, the Boeing 707 Intercontinental. The Empire State Building survived a B-25 medium bomber crashing into it on very foggy day. It was during the weekend when most people weren't there, but still, 14 people died.

Anyone wanna bet that the World Trade Center could survive an 767-300 impact?

Yes a 767 hit the WTC, but this was posted nov 30th 2000. Yes the FBI got hold of that poster and interviewed him thoroughly. I think it is amazingly ironic to ask this question and then it happens within a year. Also of interest are the speculations of the people on if this would actually take down a WTC tower.

In retrospect, this is interesting.

Be careful what you write on the internet.

Are you trying to suggest this somehow inspired the attacks? I doubt they were sitting around, trying to come up with their plan, saw this thread and went, "Yes, that's it! If we want to fly a plane into a building, we should use the largest plane available!"

Nope, just that it is ironic. This guy was just speculating (rather morbidly) and then gets a visit from the FBI after it happens.

I don't think he inspired anyone. Strange world.

On september 10, 2001 I was in Israel listening to a speech that ended with "america wouldn't do nothing if the towers were hit tomorrow."

That's about right. We didn't do nothing.
