What kind of moron pays $3.2 billion to lease a complex that needs another billion to extract the asbestos from it?
Silverstein wasn't even the initial high bid it was Vornado Reality Trust who outbid him with a $3.25 billion bid. Vornado tried to renegotiate the term length but the Port Authority wanted to be rid of managing the complex so they got Silverstein to come up in price.
3.25 billion is a steal for that much class A office space in Manhattan but the price reflected the below market leases in place, deferred maintenance by the PA and the large modernization project required across the entire complex.

Yes, reporting on national television an event that's never happened in the history of man before that day, is a common error. Happens all the time.

Believing that the cia isn’t capable of murdering a political candidate when it’s been done since the beginning of society makes someone far more gullible than one who thinks it’s possible they tried to take Trump out.

If you're planning (and executing) one of the greatest conspiracies a government has ever carried out on its people why would you let some jackass reporter with a foreign news outlet who has a direct line to the general public in on the plan?

Richard Porter, a senior editor within the BBC’s global service at the time of the attack, published a blog in 2007 detailing how the mistake could have been made during live reporting.
He highlighted the fact that American broadcaster CNN had reported that the building was on fire and in danger of collapse as early as 4.15pm, with other local channels making similar claims. Mr Porter also pointed to the fact that several other BBC services had run similar lines about a large building having collapsed. He suggested this meant it was likely at least one news agency was reporting this as fact at the time, or reporting someone having claimed this.
He also wrote: “We're not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to say or do on September 11th. We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in advance of events happening.
“In the chaos and confusion of the day, I'm quite sure we said things which turned out to be untrue or inaccurate - but at the time were based on the best information we had. We did what we always did - sourced our reports, used qualifying words like "apparently" or "it's reported" or "we're hearing" and constantly tried to check and double check the information we were receiving.
“If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that.”

As someone that is tangentially (sometimes specifically) involved in structural accident investigations this thread is great. I've learned so much.

Yesterday I was following along with this thread and decided to go to YouTube and watch a free movie (with ads).
Not knowing what the movie was about I selected one. Watched a few minutes because I was at work and decided to finish it when I got home.
Anyone who is NOT questioning 9/11 and other Government actions needs to watch it..."Fair Game". It's so good I wasn't annoyed Sean Penn was in it.
Oh...and its based on a true story...many on the Political Board will remember it well.

Was it about 9/11?
I think most of us can acknowledge that the government is fricked up about some stuff. But it’s still funny how most everyone agrees that the government is very screwed up, but still some think they can pull off amazing stunts that the public is kept in the secret about:

What the government did do, in cooperation with the media, is lie to us about it.
