Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine 8^) The buildings were already tagged for demo. In a nutshell, they were half inhabited -- asbestos ridden -- difficult and costly to renovate relics. The new owner of the buildings wanted to bring them down so he insured them to the hilt and then had them rigged (not unimaginable when an insider is running security). After being denied by the port authority, everything just sat. Then 9/11 happened. The admin had been forewarned but neglected to act and as it turns out the terrorists decided to have another crack at the WTC (go figure). The owner pulls 'em and then gets paid handsomely on his insurance claim. GWB gets his false flag to pin on Iraq and you know the rest. I am sure your brother is very credible, but is it possible he did not notice what was taking place in the building? You did say that ConEd was in the basement, no? All FWIW
