    The first collapse did have the advantage of surprise. No-one expected it, did they? :jetfuelcan'tmeltsteelbeams:

    In second place were the collapsing towers
    Agreed. I remember thinking it must have been an accident until the second won. As b says, at that point you knew...

    Were they all 777s? Makes you wonder why a 747 wasn't selected. Harder to access the flight deck, what with it being upstairs, perhaps?

    I remember we'd only just heard of the lad Bin Laden. He'd been doing some shiz in Africa, hadn't he?

    Imagine how pleased they all must have been that evening, though. There's no way they could have been expecting to get a result as good as that. Bet they cracked open a few bottles that night.

    Two 767s and two 757s.

    also another part was you didn't know what was coming next or where.
