Of course they said that. What would you expect them to say? "Oh, we built the buildings and failed?"
My car is designed to survive a head on accident at 30mph. Does that mean that 100% of the time I have a head on accident I'm going to live? No, of course not.
And truth be told, that's not what they said is it? They said the building was designed to withstand the impact of a smaller plane. The planes that hit the WTC weren't even designed when the buildings went up. They were larger and heavier.

It fell in a very similar fashion to a controlled demolition. What did you expect it to, tilt to one side and fall over?

I love this one. I really do.
Read carefully; In what I wrote I said "Imagine there was no fire". I never said fire brought down the building. A huge plane impacted the building, destroying the support of one entire side of the building across numerous floors. It also damaged the if not destroyed the "hollow solid steel core" (which held the elevator banks). No one has any idea what it did to the other three sides of the building.
This impact registered as a fucking earthquake already. It's no surprise that it came down.
