I thought I trusted the human brain for rationalization but seeing how some people actually believe this crap I've lost all hope.
I was thinking about how much of a destabilizing factor the first tower coming down was. Maybe in a vacuum the second tower doesn't collapse, but there were too many event happening at the same time for the collapses not to happen.

When you calculate to prevent a catastrophic failure you might only take one or two events into consideration, and you hope they don't happen at the same time.

Building design + jet airplane impact + thousands of pounds of flaming jet fluid + seismic activity from collapsing building = mass destruction.
