The US Govt must be willing this building to collapse .... preferably within it's own footprint!

While there's clearly a lot of damage from impact and fire the structure remains remarkably intact. There's not even much evidence to suggest the plane entered the building in any substantial form, rather perhaps much of it disintegrating on impact with the framework of the building, as one would imagine should happen

The impact set off a big explosion, setting fire to the building. The building is still standing.... AMAZING.

I wonder if the debris will be cleared away fast, like the twin towers was
!!!!!!! I don't think so.

How come only American buildings collapse in their own footprints???
