The buildings were safe from the hazards (47)______ at the time. Indeed, they were designed to withstand the force of aircraft that might crash into them.

Many also agree that the people planning the attacks were very (52)______ and aimed the aircraft at a height that would effect the most damage. The aircraft crash, and the resulting fuel fed fires were aimed at about the 90th floor.
