Full-Throttle and Fully-Fueled

Chi #658: "Good morning, mindful."

Howdy, Chi. More like about to be good night for me - been another long, crazy day.

Re the planes hitting the WTC & the engineering for an accidental hit -- not only were the planes going full-throttle on purpose, they were fully-fueled for cross-country trips. Hard to engineer for that double whammy.

Saw some video today, from early in the day - guy talking about explosions like a bomb in the lobby at ground level, blowing out all the windows. I think that was the jet fuel explosion traveling down the elevator shafts. What a horrid mess. One of the few blessings was that because of how they were built, they more-or-less collapsed straight down instead of keeling over worse than they did and hitting more of Manhattan.

Also caught a video today that I'd never seen - a montage of the jumpers. Couldn't stand to keep watching after the first dozen or so.
