Your gov't probably hasn't proven itself to be completely incompetent.
Aren't all of them incompetent? You are basically the world leaders in most areas. Where exactly did you go so wrong? You look to be doing alright all things considered.

I hate to say it, but we're all dumb idiots. Shit can almost always be explained by science. We're too dumb so we just ask questions there are scientific answers too. We just don't know them and we know nothing about science either.

It was designed to withstand the impact of aircraft, but I don't think they calculated in the enormous amount of jet fuel...

I couldn't remember when they were in Australia last time, but I know they were in Canada in 2010 for a tour. I supposed they could go there again. I don't know what the interest level was last time.
The only was a US Tour could be a success in the eyes of the media is if they did a full Up Close & Personal style tour. Showed up every night, went on time at a reasonable hour and killed it every night.
It would take a week or two to build or word of mouth and decent sales, but it could be done. But an arena tour with little to no advertising, etc, would be an awful idea at this point.
If at this point it is an awful idea, what was 2002 with a brand new unknown line up and no album??

A B-25 is nothing compared to 737's and those marks above that. The amount of jet fuel in a filled up 737 is massive. The impact is massive. A B-25 would be a mediocre fart compared to it, even if a B-25 is indeed a medium range bomber from WW2.
I guess the towers could handle a B-25, maybe a B-17 or a DC-3 or DC-4 But to protect buildings against 737 modern airliners with so much jet fuel, it's nearly impossible.

Silence is so 2005. They won't stop now. Unless they are forced.

They were designed with airplane hits in mind, that is correct. A B-25 Mitchell bomber flew into the Empire state building in in 1947 or something, and they had that in mind. It impacted due to low and dense fog and the pilot made mistakes.
But of course, they did not foresee packed jet airliners with tons and tons of fuel in them crashing into it. No one was able to foresee a disaster of this magnitude, which is also why the conspiracy theories show up; the scenario is too unthinkable which means people go looking for an explenation that is not there.
