Thanks — these explanations are great. Will definitely think about this more. 

One problem with all of this is if you accept the possibility that one of the towers was literally just a CIA front for 33 years, you start to doubt almost everything. 

I don’t just mean the mass casualty events, but everything. I’m basically there but it makes for a lot of paranoia. Like — “how is that empty restaurant on this fancy street still in business? Is this a front?” 

Everything anomalous starts to become a bit sinister. Of course I prefer the truth, whatever it might be, but you don’t want to be looking for monsters under the bed. 

 If that restaurant was commissioned by the Rockefellers and designed by this guy (whose second biggest project was a military records building built without sprinklers that burned down) and built by the literal mob… yeah you have a reason to wonder
