No, but if it exploded for some strange reason in one of those areas, the result would be the same. They dont design it for certain attacks, they design it to ensure that if a freak explosion or accident happen, that it will injure as few people and destroy as little propety as possible.
And no, i wouldnt think it would cause it to collapse in a certan direction. I didnt take drafting and how to design buildings for nothing.

Gimpy, you were partially right, they did build them for plane crashes, i doubt any of the engineers sat around and said 'What if we get attacked by a middle eastern country that plans to crash planes into these buildings." But more along the lines of "What if a plane accidentally crashes into the WTC."
