(1,464 posts)13. The Port Authority White Paper anticipated a 4-engine 707 jetliner
        ... flying 600 mph
The 4 engines gave the 707 7 chances to hit a core column---four engines and two landing gear on the wings, and the center landing gear.   
The 767, with just two engines, had just 5 chances to hit core columns 17 feet apart.  But NIST claims that in WTC1 6 core columns were severed.  Allah is indeed great!

        Bullshit. Both towers were ALREADY under construction when the first prototype 747 took to the sky.
