Austin Petersen provides this bit of fail:

The problem with pure non-interventionism is that letting your neighbors get gassed in a concentration camp isn't libertarian.

And it hadn't lost half its support structure, or put the greatest amount of stress on the only thing that was holding the two support systems together. In fact, I doubt very seriously the design of this building is anywhere CLOSE to the design of the WTC towers.

And it hadn't lost half its support structure, or put the greatest amount of stress on the only thing that was holding the two support systems together. In fact, I doubt very seriously the design of this building is anywhere CLOSE to the design of the WTC towers.

It's probably the more standard girder boxwork or mechanically equivalent reinforced concrete type of structure more typical of skyscrapers.  These traditional designs force you to accept lots of interior columns (which the WTC did not have in the open parts of the floors), but leaves you with an almost ludicrously overbuilt structure that, if properly constructed, is most likely to be lost in an earthquake, for example, because liquefaction unexpectedly causes the foundations to become unsupported and it slumps over intact, but not usable or recoverable.  The overload factor on such a building is usually so high that they are quite difficult to demolish without hiring specialists in demolishing these types of buildings (who will busily go through the place for days to weeks, clearing access to all sides of all the supporting columns, carefully place precisely shaped charges of explosives, and then bring the whole thing down into rubble in a matter of seconds in exactly the way the WTC towers didn't come down).
