Re: "the Twin Towers were not designed to handle a deliberate strike..."

IIRC, they actually were designed to withstand being hit by a Boeing 707, but I'm pretty sure they didn't plan on a fully-fueled one.

In any case, they never could have planned what happened, and the fuel load was most certainly way beyond what anyone could have foreseen at the time.
