Someone had to pick up on this one for sure by now. Has this been discussed yet? The Marriott and how the damage to that building stops at the section where the Reinforcements were installed due to the 1993 bombing in the parking garage? There is a History Channel show running now called Hotel Ground Zero, I happened to hear them state that "Steel Reinforcements" saved lives of people at the hotel. So my next obvious question is how can steel suddenly be so strong? The steel towers collapse at free fall yet this steel withstands that same force which demolished portions of the hotel, and then because of steel reinforcements all damage stops. Perhaps the initial impact slowed down the progression unlike the WTC's? Also, could the quantity of debris not have been sufficient to continue destruction? Which reminds me that WTC7 had $200 Million worth of steel and concrete reinforcements back when Solomon bought the building. Shoddy Construction? lol |
