A bottle can collapse if there is a significant change in pressure inside the bottle compared to the pressure outside, causing the walls of the bottle to buckle inwards. This can happen if the bottle is not able to withstand the pressure differential, or if it is made of a weak material. Additionally, extreme temperatures or physical impacts can also cause a bottle to collapse.
What are facts about the twin towers attack?
The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States of America were an intentional and premeditated act of terrorism. There were four separate, but coordinated hijackings of U.S. commercial passenger jets which were used as weapons to attack and destroy buildings, killing hundreds of innocent people in the process. On a Tuesday morning, 19 terrorists affiliated with the extremist Islamist militant group Al-Qaeda boarded the four airplanes, and departed at different times from different airports.
At 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Standard Time), Five hijackers at the controls of the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, crashed it into the North Tower of the World Trade Center's Twin skyscrapers in Manhattan, a borough of New York City in the state of New York. United Airlines Flight 175 was flown by five other hijackers into the South Tower at 9:03 A.M. Both towers caught fire, and as the metal construction of several damaged floors melted and weakened. The South Tower, which was struck second, was the first to collapse at 9:59 A.M. (after burning for 56 minutes). The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 A.M (after burning for 102 minutes).
Five other terrorists crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the U.S. Department of Defense Pentagon building in Arlington, Virginia, at 9:37 A.M. The fourth jet, United Airlines Flight 93, was turned from it's intended course by four hijackers, and headed in the direction of the U.S. Capital area in Washington D.C. (unknown target). Passengers aboard this jet managed to use cell phones to discover the fate of the other three previously hijacked airplanes, and heroically rushed the terrorists, causing the plane to crash in vertical nose-dive in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 A.M. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks. Later investigations linked the terrorist hijackers to Al-Qaeda, and in 2004, the group's leader and founder, Osama bin Laden, who had initially denied involvement, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
