Nuclear plants: "When the plants were designed, large aircrafts that
are presently used were not in use"
http://www.attackonamerica.net/jetcouldwrecknuclearnrcadmits.htm
"The towers of the World Trade Center were designed to withstand as a
whole the horizontal impact of a large commercial aircraft. So why did
a total collapse occur?"
http://www-math.mit.edu/~bazant/WTC/
"The World Trade Center was designed for an impact of Boeing 707-320
rather than Boeing 767-320. But note that the maximum takeoff weight
of that older, less efficient, aircraft is only 15% less than that of
Boeing 767-200. Besides, the manimum fuel tank capacity of that
aircract is only 4% less. These differences are well within the
safety margins of design. So the observed response of the towers
proves the correctness of the original dynamic design. What was not
considered in design was the temperature that can develop in the
ensuing fire."

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
