9/11 - Silverstein's big cut on WTC, and building 7

The Twin Towers Were Not
The Only Buildings To Fall On 9/11
The Mysterious Demolition of Building 7

Many Americans are still unaware that, for years, Larry Silverstein originally owned only one building near the World Trade Center complex: "Building 7." A mere two months before 9/11, he bought the entire complex; all seven of the buildings. Then he immediately took out a record insurance policy on them for over $3.5 billion, which he has since been paid. Interesting timing, to say the least.

(Note: Mr. Larry Silverstein later went to court and fought to receive a much higher monetary reward due to his demands that because each plane hit was a separate attack, he wanted to be awarded $3.5 billion for both plane strikes. He won his court case and has now been awarded over twice the amount of his original insurance sum; approximately $7.3 billion.)

Why is Building 7 so important? Because the official story is that two hijacked planes hit the Twin Towers, caught them on fire, and caused them to collapse -- even though a modern steel building has never before in history collapsed from fire. But then we have Building 7 that was further away than any other building in the complex, which later in the afternoon mysteriously got a few small fires in it and "collapsed." However, buildings that were closer to the destruction of the Twin Towers, that were NOT owned by Mr. Silverstein, were left unscathed. Strangely enough, ONLY the buildings owned by Larry Silverstein collapsed.
In a PBS documentary, Larry Silverstein commented on the demolition of Building 7, that occurred the day of September 11th, by saying: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they weren't sure they were going to be able to contain the fire. And I said, 'You know, we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And then they made that decision to pull -- and then we watched the building collapse."

Obviously, for those of you who may not know, to "pull" a building is a demolition term meaning to detonate the building, floor by floor, to bring it down. There is just one problem with Silverstein's recollection of the events. It takes weeks -- WEEKS -- not one day, to set a building with explosives in preparation to demolish it. Yet Building 7 was somehow already magically rigged with explosives on the exact day of 9/11, and Mr. Silverstein and others chose to demolish it later that afternoon on September 11th.
