WTC CONSTRUCTION
Posted by Lewis B. Sckolnick on August 20, 2002 at 00:47:28:
The NY/NJ Port Authority saved approx US$50million by not putting in
carrying beams and vertical supports. All the buildings at the WTC had the
exterior walls act as carrying beams and supports. The Port Authority saved
more money by not putting in a sprinkler system at time of construction. I
think the Arabs had very good knowledge that the towers would fall, the other
buildings were just an extra gift. With proper construction loss of life would
have been in the 400-600 range with damge to 3-4 floors of each tower. Failure
to have in place aerial resucue as
Chicago does, shows a level of stupidity
that is becoming the hallmark of the Decline of our Civilization.
