     I don't think they were actually considering a terrorist act when they were designing the WTC. What they were considering was an accidental crash such as the bomber that crashed into the Empire State building in 1945. They did consider the effects of a plane crash but they were considering the effects of a 707 (the largest plane at that time) and not a fully loaded 767.
