What a sadist, anyone who would pull the wings off an airplane.
Lol.
Haven't you heard, bro?
The paper thin fuselage slammed through 3 rings of the strongest, recently reinforced, building on earth, but the wings loaded with jet fuel, the tail, the stabilizers, and the Rolls Royce engines made out of steel and titanium simply vaporized before impact.

I don't know when it changed. I know the change was pointed out in college Business English 1991. Either or is acceptable grammar, however in a legal documents it is preferred to be "used" in a sentence by spelling it as two words.

To atheists, it was the hand of God what plucked da wings.

And you care why?
My 2004 American Heritage college dictionary does not have the word "alot" in it (because that is not correct grammar). It does have the word "allot," which means to parcel out, distribute or apportion; to assign as a portion.
I care because when a serious topic, such as the 9/11 attacks are being discussed, proper English really should be used, especially with simple words.

In a past thread about this same topic, photos of one of the engines was posted. The engines did not "vaporize before impact."

Then explain why there were no impact holes for either engine, the wings, the rear stabilizers, or the tail.
