It's coming up to the anniversary of 9/11 (make that 8/11 for Faldage) and British TV is looking at the attacks themselves and some of the peripheral issues. Generally non-sensationalist, thoughtful and respectful.

Tonight there was a documentary on just why the towers collapsed. It appears that the structural engineer did allow for the impact of an aircraft, but not for the heat that would be generated by the nearly full fuel load on a passenger jet.

It would seem that there were several design faults in the buildings, all of which contributed to the loss of life subsequent to the impact.

Still, 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. A very sad event.

The film of the impacts still shocks and saddens me, even after all this time.
