Since no 737 had ever crashed into a building before 9/11, there's no way they could have truly predicted the full extent of the damage. Specifically, they didn't predict that gobs of burning jet fuel would soften the steel enough to collapse the building. Also, the WTC was built in the 1970s, so there was probably a LOT of cost cutting in the safety department, including adequate fireproofing.

So...if you're going to try to make your case on convincing people that a 737 full of jet fuel flying at 500 mph couldn't possibly take down a building, then you've got an uphill battle my friend.
