Who are all the workers that would have been hired to rig the building? Government officials or just regular joes? I guess if they were regular guys doing a job they could have been highly paid, or threatened.
Interesting videos though. Nothing too new coming out of them, but interesting still...

I do not buy the statement this operation could not have been planned without many people noticing. If an operation such as this is planned over many months, or even several years, it could have easily been done in stages using small discrete footsteps, instead of large noticeable ones. Heck, maybe the purpose of the original bombing in '93 was to "prep" the building for this event.
Who knows? Maybe the buildings were originally designed and built in a way to be demolished in this fashion for safety or some other nefarious reasons. There are just too many variables and missing pieces to the puzzle to speculate what is and what is not possible.
It takes quite a bit more energy than just a pancake collapse to literally pulverize into dust two structures of such physical immensity. There is absolutely no way a pancake collapse could have virtually reduced a set of 47 inner core steel columns rising over 1,200 feet high into dust.
Those buildings were doing just fine after the initial impacts. To be reduced to nothing without warning just one short hour later defies common sense. And yes, these buildings were designed and built to behave in a predictable manner, even after adversity, as they did during the '75 fire and the '93 bombing.
A large commercial airliner crashing into a building of such imposing physical stature is certainly not a prelude to the catastrophic event some would have you believe it is. It appears the shock value of the alleged airliner impacts have gone a long way into making people think irrationally about the whole chain of events which led to the collapse.
The strategy is simple: shock people to the point where they are incapable of reasonable and logical thought. However, once the shock starts to wear off, the fictitious account which was given starts to creep into the stream of consciousness, where it ferments doubt.

I must admit that I missed the gold removal from the WTC wreckage, back then I had a "job" that took up a lot of my time.
Even now I am suprised they would endure that much heat ( 1000+), just to retrieve something which could easily be guarded until the area cooled down. If I remember right, there was still molten and glowing metal present for several weeks.
Like I said, I don't claim to be real bright, but the more I learn the more questions I seem to have.

While conspirators regard everything as suspicious, that has anything to do
with the WTC. But nobody noticed or thought it was suspicious to bring into
each Tower the 800 Tons of C4 required to pulverise concrete. I'm sure the
"Elevator" guys would just say this as: Look buddy were here to repair all the
Elevators, so were going to have 80 x 10 Ton Trucks come in here all weekend with
spare Parts. So unless the Security Gaurd in the Car Park was in it, the guy watching
the Videos was in on it, and Everybody in New York did not notice a 10 Ton Truck
racing towards the WTC every 20 Minutes over a weekend.
