Anyway, that makes sense to me as well, but the way the buildings collapsed sure looked like planned implosions. I've heard those explainations, but do think there's some room for doubt.

Total of roughly 2640 feet between the two towers. Structurally, they were designed to collapse that way - many people think that the entire building woulda toppled over like a tree, but that's not the case. I design cell phone towers for a living... they're designed to collapse within the compound area should they go down, except during a hurricane or tornado!
