[quote:Artist FKA HiRisque:MV8zNTk2NTNfNTg1OTI5MV83NjIxNkQ4Ng==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 209702] By the way... I'm working on a 24 story building in construction... Looking down the elevator shaft, at all the concrete slab floors... and just trying to imagine HOW it could "pancake" down at free-fall speed (which would be about three seconds)... directly upon its footprint... and not leaving any "pancake" slabs of concrete, but instead "pulverizing" all the concrete into fine dust particles in the process... [/quote] If you are familiar with the WTC towers construction you would know the following. The concrete used in the floors was not your usual concrete mix. It was a special "light" concrete mix. The construction of the towers was rather novel in some ways. The "light" concrete was necessary to stay within the load holding specifications of the stuctural steel that was supporting it. This one fact in itself should be very telling. First of all "light" concrete would indeed be expected to be pulverized in the insueing disaster. Second of all this reflects the fact that the towers had a lot less "overbuilding" built into it then you have been lead to believe. Some of the fire inspectors involved in the construction of the towers did not have kind things to say about the overall building methods used. They did not think the building safe from fire to the extent of say the Empire State building. [/quote]
Original Message
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's alleged confession testimony has been thoroughly discredited after it emerged that one of the targets he identified, the Plaza Bank, was not founded until 2006, four years after the alleged Al-Qaeda mastermind's arrest.
In his confession, KSM claims, "I was responsible for planning, training, surveying, and financing for the New (or Second) Wave of attacks against the following skyscrapers after 9/11: ...Plaza Bank, Washington state."
