Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse

securitas writes "The New York Times obtained a copy of the World Trade Center draft report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Society of Civil Engineers about the engineering failures that caused the towers to collapse. Among the findings: 'Fireproofing, sprinkler systems and the water supply for hoses were all disabled and the fires generated heat equivalent to the energy output of a nuclear power plant' reports the NYT (Yahoo link). Amazingly, if it wasn't for the fire (or another secondary catastrophic force), the towers would have remained standing."

would it be ok if we try to prevent it from happening again first? like maybe by going after people who plan terrorist attacks against us... would that be ok?

Problem is that both sides think like this, take northern Ireland, take Palestine or Pakistan/India/Kashmir .... Violence will solve nothing ... ever !

Like, when american planes clusterbomb a village or the RedCross storage bilding (3 times no less for "mistake"), should America be punished with "violence" ?? I don't that would solve anything.
