Pretty recent update from BBC News:

Dubai seeks cause of massive hotel fire at New Year - BBC News

Given how bad it looked, it's pretty impressive that no one died as a result.

The Twin Towers collapsed because of their cost saving design.

They wanted buildings that could be built on the cheap.

They got what they paid for.

If the airplanes had struck virtually any other skyscraper in New York there would have been no collapse.

An advanced European country, such as Germany, would never have allowed them to be built.

What about Building 7? Didn't they conclude that being hit by debris did not contribute to its collapse?

My guess is that maybe there could have been a REALLY fat firefighter that fell and caused the building to collapse. I'm sure whomevers a child of that male or female firefighter was would be mighty embarassed.

Yes, I'm sure there is currently no tie-in because otherwise the media would be all over it.

Doesn't mean there isn't one but they aren't too subtle and typically take immediate credit.

If there turns out to be one then it will regain media attention. IMO.

I had two friends that were walking and one got hit by a car. It was sad.

To this day, most of my friends that are truthers cannot figure out why one got hurt and the other didn't since they were both walking.

We make them wear helmets and hold hands when we take them on field trips.
