It looks great, but it looks like if a plane hits it, it will shatter to pieces.

It looks like it wouldn't take much to me, but I don't think anyone is that dumb to build something that is so important and not make it strong enough to hold up if a hurrican comes or if a plane hits it. After 9-11 you wouldn't think they would do that, but then again they could have stopped 9-11 all together from what I here.

The WTC should have been able to sustain the plane, but it had a weak structural design. When it was built the 747s were not around and therefore there was no reason to construct a building that would be able to sustain one. The building was able to sustain crashes from planes that were the biggest at the time, but not ones that were not yet built.

i would imagine that they use polymers
the same type used for bullet-proof glass or better btw -- some of the polymers are actually bomb proof once its on the glass it becomes part of the glass one of the big selling points i always thought was that the weakness of your home was shifted from something relatively easy to breach -- a breakable glass window into something not so easy nor quick to get through -- the walls with a plastic brick house covered in that stuff you'd have a nice bomb shelter with all the comforts of home |
