  Collapse of the World Trade Center - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Collapse of the World Trade Center was caused by the September 11, 2001 attacks that sent one hijacked airliner into each of the main towers of the World Trade Center complex, 1 WTC and 2 WTC.
A report entitled "World Trade Center Building Performance Study" issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in May 2002, pronounced the WTC design fundamentally safe and attributed the collapse wholly to extraordinary factors beyond the control of the builders.
Horizontal progression of the failure across the lower floors (in the region of Floors 5 and 7, that were much thicker than the rest of the floors), triggered by damage due to the vertical failure, resulting in the disproportionate collapse of the entire structure.
