How Demolition Charges Were Placed in WTC 1 AND 2: A Hypothesis

[James Lewis]

I have no idea if the following has been addressed elsewhere.

HYPOTHESIS:

Given the unprecedented (at the time of their design/construction) height and mass of WTC 1 and 2 and thus the potential for unprecedented disaster in the event of collapse(s), controlled demolition capabilities were put in place during the construction phase.

The configuration of the system(s) would have allowed for relatively inconspicuous and/or easily disguised maintenance and updating.

This plan and its implementation would have been closely guarded secrets for reasons relating to security and financial matters.

At some point, WTC 7 would have been fitted or retrofitted with similar capabilities.

The "pull it" comment would make sense within this hypothesis.

Also, Charles, remember that:

1) All three buildings (WTC 1, 2, and 7) had been evacuated twice, floor by floor, in June and July of 2001, and:

2) Anyone with access to the elevator shafts would have been able to plant demolition charges in all three buildings.
