I live in a house and I've never been hit by a Boeing 767. I don't get why the World Trade Centre didn't just follow the zoning laws and make itself small around planes. It knew planes were there and it CHOSE to antagonise them.

As a plane, I've got nothing against buildings, but being out in public where a child might see them is where I draw the line

Skyscrapers are grooming my children to be lawyers. They see this skyscraper flaunting itself in public and they want to work there. They think "I'll be so free if I can just look out over the entire city", that "I can be an individual who defines the skyline". Well kids, 9/11 happens if we let this continue. It's a war on our traditional ideas of buildings and the bible says we shouldn't build tall towers.

Maybe if the WTC was wearing high vis the pilots would've been able to see it
