Answer by Alistair
None. The way that tower went down was fantastic engineering. It was designed so that if something like that happened it would collapse inwards instead of toppling thus limiting casualties. Imagine what it would have been like if the tower fell on its side. It would crush thousands more. All modern skyscrapers are designed the same way.
