If there had been a controlled demo, what need would there have been to fly planes into the buildings?
Doesn't mean the US government wasn't involved.

however, in the case of the ASBESTOS LADEN towers, demolition(with bombs) was out of the question. there was no way they could take the towers down cost effectively, yet they HAD to come down because of cell phones and the internet.
they were originally built as a CENTER for world trade, because, back in the day, you had to actually GO somewhere to do something. with the advent of wireless communication, location became irrelevant, which left the towers irrelephant thermite fodder.
On April 13, 1970, New York City issued restrictions on the application of sprayed thermal insulation containing asbestos. The use of BLAZE-SHIELD Type D was discontinued in 1970 at the 38th floor of WTC 1. The asbestos-containing material was subsequently encapsulated with a sprayed material that provided a hard coating. A green dye was added to the encapsulating material so that the asbestos containing SFRM could be identified.

As Real Estate Director, a position Mrs. Nanninga has held since 1996, the occupancy rate at the trade center has risen from 78 percent to a healthy 98 percent, retail soared in the trade center's mall, and available office space in the Newark Legal Center has nearly been filled.
Today, only about 250,000 of the 10.4 million square feet of office space in the trade center remains vacant. And the legal center has an occupancy rate of over 99 percent.

I cannot believe that. It makes no sense, and I feel what we witnessed on 9/11/2001 was the result of two huge jetliners filled with fuel severing the World Trade Towers to the point they couldn't sustain the damage of both the impact and subsequent fires.

That entire statement is FALSE. The fact is that asbestos in the towers was limited to floors only up to the 38th floor of WTC 1,and it was encapsulated. (b)There was no asbestos in WTC2 .(/b) This has been common knowledge since the towers were built.

It appears that you are implying that the World Trade Center became somewhat obsolete due to the advancement of technology. Again, you are way off. If you recall, our economy was not all that great prior to 911 and obviously you know what happened post 911. Well, the sluggish economy had no effect on the success of the WTC complex. Actually it was quite the opposite:

about 5% of which was actually involved in world trade, and a large percentage of government offices.
the towers were subsidized from the word go by the taxpayers.
..a 1999 book said the port authority allocated 800,000 dollars for asbestos abatement.
i disagree i'm wrong. they gave whole floors of vacant space to artists, for free.
i won't say you're 'wrong', but i know i'm right.
