[edit] In reference to citation 6

I would like to have the implicit connection between Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda removed, unless anyone can find a citation that Bin Laden stands for Al-Qaeda. This is quess-work and needs evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.229.229 (talk) 23:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] (Previously) untitled comment

why there is no films mentioned like farenheit 9\11, loose change, zeitgeist, and other, who give a truth to people? ))) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.64.83.128 (talk) 16:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Twin Towers Completion Dates

Your article mention that the twin tower (1 and 2) were completed in the year 1972 and 73. This is not valid. I took pictures while they were both under construction and the dates on the printed photos May 1974. These photos show the building still incomplete.

[edit] WTC7

There's a mistake or at least no reference, in the collapse of WTC7. To my knowledge, it was "pulled down" by Silverstein. Source : http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/silverstein_pullit.html

Paragraph 3 states, "All seven original buildings in the complex were destroyed by terrorists". this MUST BE EDITED to say, "The United States government claims that all seven buildings..." or, "Some people claim that all seven buildings..." or even possibly, "Many people claim that all seven buildings...". But the original statement is written as fact without supporting evidence. And since there is so much evidence (for example that it is scientifically impossible for the planes to be the sole cause of the collapse of the buildings)that there were other factors involved, and no claims from the 'terrorists' themselves, it can not be presented as FACT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heidimay (talk • contribs) 13:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why are coordinates available in this article?

Just wondering, because last time I checked the towers are blown up. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC) It shows the site where they were. Alaskan assassin (talk) 01:36, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lobby

The article states that the wtc lobby was 3 stories tall. This is incorrect according to blue prints (now available). The outer walls transition from one to three at the sixth floor giving for a cathedral look inside the lobby. The average floor height is 12.43 feet (1368' / 110 floors). The lobby was just less than 80'. Floor 1 = 22', 2 = 12', 3 = 11'6", 4 = 11'6", 5 = 11'6", 6 = 11'6", totaling 80'. Also looking at the blue prints, floors 3 to 6 only have a floor inside the core.

[edit] Remove Low-Quality Photo

In my opinion, the photo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ground_Zero_WTC.JPG) showing Ground Zero in 2008 (listed under subsection September 11, 2001) is unnecessary and doesn't add enough to the article to warrant its continued inclusion. It needs to be straightened for one, in addition to the fact that at least 40% of its view is obscured by safety/construction fencing. Also, its location doesn't make sense.
