    It takes precious little to weaken them and bring them down.

    I would argue that an airliner filled with tons of fuel is not “little”. That was a lot of mass moving really fast into the towers. Even then, it took a while for the structures to become weak enough to collapse. Given the circumstances, it was amazing the towers lasted as long as they did after they were hit.

    Your core description is correct though: There really isn’t much to skyscrapers.
