Well, Steve, I've got a couple of things to say about that.
First, I visited the WTC just once, many many years ago (not sure when) and I loved it; the vast enormity and height of it. I think I permanently damaged my neck looking up. And to my strange mind those chrome-like 5-story Art Deco pillars were beautiful and unforgettable.
Second, there's a movie called The Walk about the guy who ran a wire between the two towers and walked that tightrope for an hour. Unbelievable courage (or ignorance). But I can't watch the movie again, gives me vertigo. (I get dizzy if I stand up too fast.)
Finally, I've never been much of a conspiracy guy, but when I watched those twin towers come down on TV, I see a controlled demolition - not sure of the correct term, but if you want to intentionally bring down a tall building for rebuilding or whatever- that's pretty well the perfect example of how to do it. Both buildings - straight down - bam. I think to my dying day I'll still believe they were initially built to come down like that when the time came (not for conspiracy stuff, just to come down to be replaced by newer building.)
What I still see is a perfect textbook controlled demolition.
So that's my thoughts on the World Trade Centre.
ps, amazing that the destroyed WTC was all cleared away and a new building up in its place. I have trouble putting the cover on my BBQ in the wind and these guys build a new Tower.

OK, time for my milk and cookies.
