I remember some truthers back in the day pointing the that as an example of how 9/11, was an inside job because the building didn't fall like the WTC did. Their arguments were, of course, refuted.
How many of the people involved are dead?

DAMN, I know my computer is slow, but I didn't think it was that slow.

Hey when is Darwin going to publish "Origin Of The Species"?
Yah, the truthers held it as 'proof of concept' that a plane can crash into a skyscraper without toppling it...if the plane has a fraction of the mass and speed of the planes that hit the towers, and the skyscraper is made of granite.
I thought I was in the News section at first and was like, WTF? I'm first hearing about this on *AF*?!
Do you have any links or stories that go with this?
Dozens, Smartzie.
