from what your saying asshole, bricks?

lets start a lesson in engineering.

a car moving at like 30mph can easily go through a brick wall. now the wind, forget the plane, will topple down a skyscraper made of bricks.

concrete can even withstand tornado wind speed.

i understood how the towers collasped:

the core of the buildings had drywall for walls instead of concrete[which they were thinking of using but didnt choose to put]. drywall may be resistant to fire but is very fragile after being set on fire. when the plane hit, the drywall was instantly blown away, exposing vulnerable parts i.e. the stairways.

the steel trusses held the buildings in shape from swaying and collaspe. they also had protective fire foam. but the plane's impact, well u know. due to that, the trusses were vulnerable to fire, started mealting and saging and they were weak enough to allow the floors to pancake on top of one another.

so asshole think of what ur saying. using bricks and another plane crashes into them, the entire lower manhattan area would be a real mess.

oh and i made a mistake. it took 9 years to build the towers.
