Sad part is, the buildings were supposedly designed to withstand the impact of a place twice the size of a 747.

Guess not.

<< terrorists probably planned to strike the buildings far enough apart in time so that cameras would be fixed on the towers >>

Wrong, it was built to withstand a 707, probably before your time I imagine. A 707 was a bit smaller than a 767-600, the failure was the fire suppression. Nobody expected a full load of jet fuel in the equation, apparently the terrorists did... :(
