Original Note:
The WTC towers were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. The 767s were larger & carried more fuel than a 707, which increased the kinetic energy of the impacts. The fires caused by the jet fuel further weakened the structural steel, leading to the collapse. https://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/0112/Eagar/Eagar-0112.html https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/pkbg8h/til_the_planes_that_struck_the_world_trade_center/ https://www.nist.gov/world-trade-center-investigation/study-faqs/wtc-towers-investigation
