What design faults were highlighted by the attack on the World Trade Centre?

This is a fantastic question, thank you. Clearly by design faults you mean in the Trade Towers, but the real design fault that was uncovered in part of the political design. So . . . I will quickly address both. Since it is absolutely proven that the buildings were planted with explosives, there is no real design failure in the architecture. Now, politically, there is a failure, because politicians were able to exploit the event, and use it for their own personal designs. They have also committed grave war crimes in the name of the attacks. So, this is the main failure I see, and it should be investigated heavily.

What nationality were many of the 911 terrorists?

Lot of people think U.S. did it. President George W. Bush did it and blamed Ladin to get more power. Americans always believe even the lying president (W. Bush) .

The attacks using suicide pilots on September 11, 2001 had immediate effects (destruction of the World Trade Center towers, loss of life) and longer-term effects (war in Iraq, increased security measures, creation of the department of Homeland Security).

They also increased the polarization of both the West and the Middle East on the subject of Islamic Fundamentalism: the West cannot accept government run by a religion, and some Muslims cannot tolerate pluralistic secular societies.

What all weapons did the terrorists use on 911?

The used sharp objects like box openers. To show the passengers they ment business, they sliced the stewardess's throat open.

How did the hijackers get through security on the September 11th attacks?

They got through security because they were not actually carrying "dangerous" weapons and were not detected carrying explosives.

They held the air crew outside the cabin hostage with box-cutters and innocent-looking toiletry knives, forcing the pilots to open the door.

The terrorists also had C4 explosive vests, which they threatened to detonate in mid-air if the pilots didn't open the door or if they flew the plane down to land.

Either way, for the pilots, it was a lose-lose situation. Whether they opened the door to the cabin or not, everybody on the plane would still have died.

The events led to the USA and UK placing undercover armed Air Marshals on every British and American flight, with guns specially designed to penetrate muscle and bone, but not holes in the plane.

The events also led to Allied governments re-designing doors on national plane cockpits, making them able to withstand being forced open or blown open with small explosives.

Allied airports have also upgraded security scanners which now take an x-ray photograph of people passing through. They also have dog patrols with canines specially trained to detect the smell of explosives. Also, blades, no matter how small or innocent-looking, and passengers liquids (drinks, shampoos containing peroxide, etc) have been banned on planes.
