To Marry Anne:
I remember being there as well, although I only was at the base. I remember the aw I got as I looked at those two monsters. . . and here I see video from the same place I was standing of the south tower slowly falling. . . unbelievable.
To Tom:
I really don't think the buiding structures could take a side fall like that. Not that I am and engineer or architect, but these things seems to be built to some serious precision. If the buildings get off angle too much (as it falls to the side) the structure below woudl not support it enough and it would collapse directly down. . . more analogous to a tower of cards than a dowel rod falling over. This explains better why the collapse was delays. . . the support structures heated up by the impact buckled.
