That simply is not true. Just from basic math. WTC floor area was ~4.3 million sq. ft, AON is ~3.6 million. yes the wtc were larger buildings but to say AON would be "little more than the core" is just wrong. As was pointed out WTC was some 14 ft wider and of course about 225 ft taller. If these two were standing next to each other from a distance the width would probably be barely perceptible the height of course would be noticeable; but it would dwarf the AON by any imagination.
