That's false. Tens of thousands of tons of free falling steel gouged
out the south face of WTC7 for up to half its height.

You haven't looked hard then. Debris was spread over a wide area and
steel from high up on the towers went a pretty good distance. Just
watch the collapse videos and you can track it.

They did not nor could not design them to withstand 500+ mph
collisions with fuel laden jets and the resulting fires.
Look, this is what caused the collapses. There's no realistic
questioning of it. So what the designers thought in the 1960s and
early 1970s really doesn't matter.
