Did Al-Qaeda know that if they hit the twin towers with planes that they would come down? or was it an unexpected bonus (apologies for the poor choice of words) for them?

If you cut a skyscraper in half with an aeroplane chances are its gonna colapse or the fire will burn it up !!

i would have thought the statue of liberty would have been a higher profile target, with easier (more open) access..?
though i guess WTC would have been visible from miles away.

the feeling is that they didnt know they were going to collapse.The brackets that held up the beams became structurally unsound after the fires from the aiviation fuuel melted the ones above the 92nd floor.

Its no secret that the towers were specifically designed to withstand the impact of a jet airliner. I don't believe the terrorists would have had any way of knowing it would set about the chain of events that would lead ultimately to their complete collapse. The death and destruction caused by that initial crash plane crash, and then the second one witnessed live in front of the watching world on such a high-profile target, was what they probably intended.
The fact that the towers then fell was, as robbie suggested and for want of a better phrase, probably a "bonus" for the terrorists.

Statue of Liberty is not that tall and as such a much harder target to hit, especially in a Boeing, plus if your coming from the land side of NY you would have to get pass those frigging towers.
Basically the Towers were for the terrorist a good target.

The towers were the target because they represent western capitalism, you know, money, trade etc., and al-qaeda hate that.

What would have happened if they hadn't collapsed? Would they have demolished the towers anyway?
Surely there's no crane in the world that could take an aeroplane out of a massive skyscraper

Fair question, one we will sadly never know the answer to, my guess is that they would probably have pulled them down but I am sure there are a few structural engineers on NSC who can probably give a professional opinion.

I'm pretty sure that they showed one of those Bin Laden videos on Al Jazeera with him saying that they only expected to destroy the floors above the impact not the whole building.

Doubt there was much wreakage to salvage. Bigger problem would have been how to put the fire out.

Surely they would have levelled the last wrecked floor and assembled a crane and finished off as required.
If I remember rightly..
They set off a bomb years back in one of the towers underground car parks. It made a right mess by collapsing some off the carpark floors. They got the fuckers who did it and they are doing porridge now. And yes, they were connected to Bin bag Laden.
On another note..
I'm glad that **** Mcghee has gone!! Cock munching wanker!!
