    The B-25 bomber and Boeing 767 airliner are two very differet aircraft.

    The WTC towers and the Empire State Building were also very different buildings.

    So there events are not really comparable.

      The point was that New York City saw a large plane hit one of its largest buildings. The failure mode was known. It just happened to be that no one cared to design for that failure mode later.
