But then the question is, what if the towers didn't collapse? Would people talk like it was an inside job and everything to this day? What's your comment on this?
It was well-known by the city of New York that the WTC was an asbestos bombshell. For years, the Port Authority treated the building like an aging dinosaur, attempting on several occasions to get permits to demolish the building for liability reasons, but being turned down due the known asbestos problem. Further, it was well-known the only reason the building was still standing until 9/11 was because it was too costly to disassemble the twin towers floor by floor since the Port Authority was prohibited legally from demolishing the buildings.
Larry A. Silverstein, owns the land of the towers. Insured them from 7 million each on April '01 for acts of terrorism (funny how he knew to do that a few months before the attacks) and was rewarded for 8 billion dollars

Does anyone have any idea of the logistics involved in planting the demolituion explosives necessary to implode the towers? The tons of TNT, the miles and miles of cable, the amount of prep work in weakening the beams and columns and girders before even placing demolitions, the amount of equipment and the size of the crews necessary to perform the work, the time it would take, and no one noticed? Are the conspiracy theorists implying that the buildings tenents of were such thick dullards that no one questioned why all the demo fuses, cables, and such were snaking through the building prior to the impact? It would take months to prep those towers for implosion. No one noticed the drywall getting torn down or the rotohammers jacking away on the beams or columns? There was no dust raised? And, most of all...No one who would have been involved has broken there silence? Man, that must be some code of silence! Let's really examine the logistics, and the reality of human psyche, and stop the nonsensical idea that this was a controlled demo.

Silverstein was required by lenders putting up the money for the purchase
to buy insurance against terrorism - the towers had been attacked in
1993 by truck bomb. In fact Silverstien tried to get away with buying
only 1 billion for each building, lenders wanted 5 billion, settled on
3.5 billion In fact Silverstein lost money on deal as still had to pay rent
to Port Authority and was required to rebuild on the site. Even with
the 7 billion payout by insurers has to spend that money in rebuilding.

C4 my friend not TNT, wireless timed detonation. And they did notice the crews. Apparently in the Loose Change documentary, September 9th 2001 was the first time in WTC history that they people were notified not to come into work due to electrical repairs. 2 days later the towers went down.
