South Tower Demolition: Last Man Out Burned by Fireball
DiFrancesco, struggling to breathe, turned around and headed up. DiFrancesco climbed to the 91st floor. He lay down on the landing for 10 minutes. Then, moved by an intense desire to see his wife and children, he got up and pushed himself back down the stairs through the smoke that had stopped him before.
"As he left the building, he saw a fireball rolling toward him. He put his arms in front of his face.
"He woke up three days later at St. Vincent's hospital. His arms were burned. Some bones were broken. His lungs were singed. But he was alive -- the last person out of the south tower.
Again, the idea that there was no heat associated with the destruction of the WTC is simply wrong.

They did not have to take the towers down to conceal no planes. People believe plane hits with no parts. But these buildings were obsolete and the owner, (Rockefeller, with front man Silverstone) not only did not have to pay for demolition (complements of the perps, well maybe this is a contradiction, so insurance covered demo), but rather received huge insurance settlements.
This is today's world. A building of this sort has a very finite lifetime because of the complexity associated with the structure, mechanical, and so forth. More insanity on the part of humans. A throwaway, landfill kind of world.
Obsolete even because views change, if nothing else. Asbestos is bad now, when ok earlier. This was one type of overreaction, likely profit based.
They could have made them randomly topple, much more realistic, but they own the surrounding buildings, we suppose.
In Dubai, Indonesia, they are repeating this idiocy. Short of space?
The Kölner Dom was completed around 1400? Survived WWII. Still stands, truly majestic.
