WTC Reconstruction

[Travis]

Why would they have plans in hand to reconstruct WTC7 but not for the other buildings at the WTC site? They were gonna quickly rebuild 1.7 million square feet of the 13 million square feet of leasable space lost on 9/11 but not rebuild the remaining 11 million until 2007, with completion in 2010, because they.... just don't like making money.... or what?


Incidentally, if anyone wants to keep up with the reconstruction go here for a nice zoomable webcam.

7 WTC was Silverstein's. He could build whatever he wanted since he owned the property. It would seem reasonable that he would be in a big hurry to reconstitute the revenue generating property as quickly as he could. He also had less insurance problems with 7 WTC.

The rest of the WTC complex is owned by the PANYNJ, though Silverstein is the leasee, and they would have a major say in what was actually built. Certainly they would not want anything built that they would not mind taking back in 99 years. Add in the political aspect, such as the memorial center?? for the victims, and such, and the design work gets held up while the powers that be collectively decide what's going to be there. The PANYNJ isn't losing out since they still collect the lease rent that Silverstein agreed to in his 99 year lease.

After all the litigation for insurance and such, which might affect what actually gets built (in so far as any special features go), then the design can be finalized then the process of contracting and construction can get underway.

Surely a rapid rebuild is the last thing the ebil NWO Illuminati super-reptoids would want. While that big gaping hole is there they can pop down to the yearly memorial event and fill up the country with another dose of the "Let's go kill those mangy sand monkeys" hatred that fuels their War of Terror.

Why are they saying "in an extraordinary fast time"? The Sears Tower was put up in less than 3 years (Start: Aug. 1970, finished: May 1973; source searstower.org (sorry, I'm still too junior to posts links here)).

On the other hand, I am forced to admit, this doesn't answer the bulk of the fantasists charge "as though "they had plans ready to go for the rebuilding" ". I'm hoping there's someone out there who does know what design timeframes normally are who can answer authoritatively. But, even without any personal expertise to definitively answer, that charge seems to me to be so much bunk; the conspiracy dreamers don't give any measure of what is an unsuspicious timeframe. They merely throw dirt.

Sigh...

Actually, the rebuilding of WTC 7 began before the old one even collapsed. Silverstein had all the workers ready to go. How do I know this? I dont. But this clearly isnt about proof...this is about Truth...=)

Actually it was already built and ready to go. They just had to wait for the thermate to cool then roll it in.

Actually I was already aware that PANYNJ owned the complex. My point, which was admittedly not properly made, is that any conspiracy that would have plans already ready to go for WTC7 would certainly include PANYNJ and thus there would be plans for the main WTC site ready to go as well. Thus there wouldn't have been these design competitions with Libeskind winning but his design proving to be unbuildable and being redesigned by Childs in the end. Then the designs for 200, 175 and 150 Greenwich Street were only released this past year, with Foster and Rogers designing two of them, and just this last week JP Morgan Chase released the first rendering of 130 Liberty ST.

If this were a conspiracy then all these designs would have been in the can before American 11 slammed into tower 1. The construction and such may have been delayed by politics and insurance claims but the designs would preexist. That is they would preexist if this conspiracy were run in such a way that the conspirators would have had preexisting designs for the rebuild of WTC7. Why the conspirators, which would have to include PANYNJ if the towers were brought down with explosives, would only think ahead to have design work done ahead of time for WTC7 and none of the others, is what I find hard to believe.

Ah, sorry.

I didn't think about it that way.

Don't worry about it.

The entire idea that WTC7 was rebuilt with plans predating the attacks is so stupid as to be laughable anyways. Not as stupid as building toppling flying microwave ovens of death but still pretty stupid.
