Thats what I have seen before but hearing this from a person who was there under the rubble, with experience in demolition, got me very interested. Now the big question is "Who benefits from this?" of course the US gov.

and has experience on controlled demolitions,
He says the way the WTC was built if the top floors went down, there is a 80% that the rubble will go to the side and 1/4 of the base with still be visible, the only way to take the WTC straight down is with a controlled demolition.

Just because you said that the correct answer is ISRAEL. Israel allegedly planned and executed the attack under the guise that it was middle eastern terrorist.

If you want to create a controlled demolition, and at the same time make it look like the planes damage to the building is the cause of the collapse, you would have to plan this in such a precision that, nothing viewed from outside(witneses or news cameras) would suspect anything else, plus the explosives would have to be absolutly placed right, to not get damaged and failed when the planes hit.
Imposible IMO, i dont think there where any explosives placed in the building, it would be to risky to fail if you want to do it flawless.
George Bush's younger brother, Marvin Bush, was the Director of Securacom, the company that provided electronic security for both the World Trade Center and Washington Dulles Airport (where Flight 77 took off) on 9/11. George Bushs cousin, Wirt D. Walker III, was CEO of this company from 1999 to 2002. Securacom had an $8.3 million contract from 1996-2002 to install a new security system. Scott Forbes, a Senior Database Administrator for Fiduciary Trust, reports unprecedented power-downs for the whole weekend prior to 9/11. William Rodriguez, the 9/11 Last Survivor, explains that the security doors were left wide open for anyone to go in or out, and the security cameras were turned off.

In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. So: This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million
After the attack, Silverstein Properties commenced litigation against its insurers, claiming it was entitled to twice the insurance policies' value because, according to a spokesman for Mr. Silverstein, "the two hijacked airliners that struck the 110-story twin towers Sept. 11 were separate 'occurrences' for insurance purposes, entitling him to collect twice on $3.6 billion of policies." This was reported in the Bloomberg News less than one month after the attack.
After Sept. 11, 2001, Silverstein continued paying rent without interruption of $120 million a year, or $10 million a month (over $300,000 a day).
The New York Port Authority originally planned to use 5,000 tons of asbestos fireproofing. The fireproofing, trademarked Blade-Shield, was manufactured by United States Mineral Products of Stanhope, N.J. It was 20% asbestos mixed with mineral wool — a concrete-like substance made from melted rock.
The Port Authority claims that over half of the applied asbestos-containing fireproofing had been removed by September 11, 2001. So, how much asbestos remained in the Twin Towers? Etimates vary from 400 tons all the way up to 2000 tons.
According to Indymedia’s research, “W.R. Grace asbestos-containing insulation was used at the WTC.” “Grace Vermiculite...was 2-5 percent asbestos. 100,000 80 pound bags of this vermiculite were used in the WTC. In addition, 9,150 pounds of MonoKote 3 was used at the WTC. MonoKote 3 was about 20 percent asbestos. Therefore, in total about 201,183 pounds of pure asbestos fiber from Grace alone was used in the WTC.”11 According to the National Resources Defense Council report of February 2002, an estimated 300 to 400 tons of asbestos from all vendors was used during construction.12 We can reliably estimate, therefore, that at least 400 tons of asbestos fibers, and possibly more, were in the buildings at the time of the collapse.
T&N, formerly the largest asbestos company in Britain, reached a favorable settlement with the Port Authority on a $600 million lawsuit against 37 defendants, including T&N, for asbestos contamination of municipal buildings, including the WTC. Further, the Port Authority lost a 10-year court battle to get its insurers to pay more than $600 million for removing asbestos from its properties, including the World Trade Center and New York's airports. The judge ruled that asbestos-abatement costs by themselves do not constitute "physical loss or damage" under the Port Authority's all-risk policies.
In 1971, however, the City of New York had banned the use of asbestos in spray fireproofing. At that time, asbestos insulating material had only been sprayed up to the 64th floor of the World Trade Center towers. The floors above 64th floor were not sprayed with asbestos based fire retardant.
In 1971, New York City banned the use of asbestos in spray fireproofing. At that time, asbestos insulating material had only been sprayed up to the 64th floor of the World Trade Center towers.
1971, the New York City Council banned the use of this material, as the dangers of asbestos were becoming widespread. The spraying was halted, but the towers were already coated in hundreds of tons of the asbestos fireproofing, reaching up to the 64th floor.

Lol okay there Timmy. "Bunch of stupid trufers!!"
For a guy that complains about "trufers" lying, you sure do BS quite a bit yourself.
Not to mention the connections to war-profiteers he has. Netanyahu and Silverstiend are also connected. Netanyahu coined the phrase "war on terror" back in 68 I think.
Silverstein is worth 3.5 Billion that you know about.
I'm sure he had a little extra incentive to give up 120,000,000 a year as well. You know, being connected and all. Pretty much a spoke in a wheel.
But no right...."Just a bunch of lying trufers."
You people make me sick because you laugh at people who can critically think and analyze with a smug smile thinking you just did a one up on them. Go back to sleep man or just as you did here, go spread some more pseudoscience garbage from debunking911.com, because now I really believe anything you say.
I am glad I don't let you do my investing. Because you're so short brained. You have to think long term.
Insurance pays for rebuild, even if it doesn't I am rich, and once the new one is built the profits from that will be very nice as well. So 120 million a year is nothing for the returns he will get on his investment you dolt
