607 at 36,000 feet, 180 mph at 1300 feet, flaps down in the fog

What, you are an engineer so you do understand, the impact on 9/11 was an order of magnitude greater than the design impact. This is why the tower failed. They were not design for systems to survive and protect people above the impact and the fire systems in the core. If it was a design for high speed there were be two towers standing. It is not fair to say they should stand when it was on purpose and the terrorist were speeding.
Robertson said it, you are using hearsay. http://www.nae.edu/nae/bridgecom.nsf/weblinks/CGOZ-58NLCB?OpenDocument
Read and learn, please. Your paper is not ready, and this peer review has shown you are using the wrong data.
Robertson is the lead engineer, he is still alive, ask him.Robertson did not do the analysis for the aircraft impact, and for the fifth time he wasn't the chief engineer on the tower design.
There was still quite a margin of safety in the steel frames of those buildings after the aircraft impacts. Volumetric probablities alone would limit the amount of damage the aircraft could do.
I am also wondering why nobody here answered my question concerning the estimated speeds on impact of Flights 11, 77, and 175.

STATE question again. The terrorist over sped the aircraft for 10 to 20 seconds, damn engines, as they pushed the powerful engines up to max. The planes were well past their limits and because they had those darn powerful engines, 11 was going 470 mph, 175 was going 590 mph, and 77 was going 463KIAS (533mph). Questions. The terrorist were done flying after they pushed up the throttles, any major movements may of placed the aircraft in a high speed stall. So?I am also wondering why nobody here answered my question concerning the estimated speeds on impact of Flights 11, 77, and 175
