Fairmaiden, you will be amazed how much a government or the unseen leaders, the ones who operate in the dark, are willing to do in order to get their point across or change public perception.

There are so many problems here. For one, you can't "Pull" a building that's on fire. How do you go around arming the entire building with highly volatile explosives while the building is on fire? You don't. The only way the building could be "Pulled" was if the charges were already set before the fire started.
We could go around and around as to why this happened. To answer the question as to how someone might benefit, all that we need to do is to look at how our world has changed. We have trillions of dollars being spent on warfare. Someone's pockets are being filled. We also have a stranglehold on travel and an unlimited mandate to kill, torture, or deprive any number of people their human rights for any amount of time and for any reason. It isn't hard to see who benefits and who does not.

Oh my!, please tell me this isn't another conspiracy theorist. This is such BS I can't even begin to tell you. We did not blow up our own buildings. We did not hurt ourselves so we could send hundreds of thousands of Americans overseas and pour our national treasure into the ME. We just didn't do it. I guess this cat thinks we bombed ourselves at Pearl Harbor too so we could develop an A bomb to drop on Japan. I'm glad the link is broken.
On the first page a poster named Vincenzo posted a quote from Wikipedia that it was caused by a fire on the 13th floor. What a significant number and why was this fire allowed to get out of control like that.
The link worked for me. That is an interesting take on what happened but its just one man.
