Résumé (en anglais)

The collapse of the World Trade Center towers has irrevocably changed our perceptions of buildings, at least for a generation. Even now, a year after the event, we struggle to make sense of an event that, until it occurred, was beyond our imagination. Bridges, radio towers, or other structures can fall down, but, absent an earthquake, major modern engineered buildings are simply not known to do so. They seem so solid, so permanent. Or course, intellectually the collapse made sense. How could any building stand up to the fiery crash of a large fully loaded commercial airplane? But in fact they withstood that force – only to suddenly collapse an hour later into an indefinable pile of debris – except for the evocative Gothic ruin of the broken facade of each tower
