How would the effects of 9/11 be different if the Twin Towers had fallen sideways?
What about the psychological impact on the nation and the world? Would it have been different if the towers had fallen sideways?
It's hard to say for sure, but I think the psychological impact would have still been quite significant. The fact that the towers fell at all was a major shock to many people, and the idea of them falling sideways may have been even more difficult to comprehend. Additionally, the loss of life and the destruction of a major symbol of American power and prosperity would have still had a profound impact on the nation and the world.
