He designed them to take a direct hit by an airliner of the types that
were flying around at the time. The airliners that hit them were quite a
lot larger than that and were fully loaded with fuel.

No, they did not "go down the same identical way." Technical reports on
the exact cause of the collapses ("an airliner hit them" is not what I'm
thinking of here) have been issued, and they go into quite a lot of
detail about how the two towers collapsed, and why they collapsed in the
order they did.
The buildings did survive the impact of the airliners. The problem was
the impact blew away the fireproofing on the steel structure and the
heat from the massive fire softened it. Had the airliners been empty of
fuel, one of the towers would surely not have collapsed. The other one,
whose central core got hit, might have collapsed anyway.

In 1952 the architech of the Empire State Building made the same claim, and
it did withstand a strike from a large cargo plane, 1942 I think it was.

The experts have explained this numerous times. The strike from the
airliners did not take the buildings down, but the subsequent heat from the
fuel did the job. The steel girders could not handle the heat of the newer
grades of avionics fuel. Buildings of that nature are specifically
designed to go straight down, if they go down at all.

In 1952 the architech of the Empire State Building made the same claim, and

The experts have explained this numerous times. The strike from the
airliners did not take the buildings down, but the subsequent heat from the
fuel did the job. The steel girders could not handle the heat of the newer
grades of avionics fuel. Buildings of that nature are specifically
designed to go straight down, if they go down at all.

That's the way skyscrapers are designed to go down. Did you think that they

US airport security was nonexistent before a rash of hijackings in the
early 1970s. That's when the whole screening for weapons and knives was
started.
It's terribly easy to lock back with 20/20 hindsight and point out what
the problems were. But few people saw them at the time. It's as with any
disaster: an unexpected chain of small failures has a unexpectedly
severe result. The only thing we can do is learn from it and fix the
problems that lead not only to the end result but to the things that
caused the failures.
The biggest problem I see is that the US is, by and large, unwilling to
take a humble and unbiased look at itself from the point of view of the
rest of the world and from that information decide what it needs to
change. That's not anti-American. Anti-American would be to say that the
US is too stupid to recognize its arrogance or do anything about it.
Pro-American is this: The US has the potential to be smart and wise,
drop its arrogance, and fix the problems it has created for itself.
