As expected, an engineering report released this week on the
World Trade Center collapse concluded that while both towers survived
the impact of the plane crashes, the resulting fires brought the
buildings down. The rest of the story is not so clear, however
-- the report leaves open key questions about the performance
of the buildings' materials and design.
In this hour, we'll talk about the report's findings, what future
investigations might be done to examine the disaster, and what
can be done to make other buildings less vulnerable to this kind
of attack.
