Yes, I think you're on the right track. I've been convinced for a long time that the elevator shafts, especially the express elevators played a key roll in bringing down the Towers. Way back when I was in college, I got to ride the express freight elevators a couple of times. They were designed with an entrance a street level that you could drive a truck directly onto them and go to any floor. It was a cheap thrill to ride to the top sitting in your van. What I believe is that they prepped the buildings at least a few months, if not years in advance, with thermite and cutter charges on the mechanical floors, under the hat trusses and in key corners, then on the morning of the attack, they could just drive into the freight elevators with the big stuff (possibly thermobaric weapons) and blew the buildings apart by dropping the hat trusses and blowing out the columns in the core. (Sorry, to be so critical about the spelling) |
