i think there is significant evidence to say it was an "low cost empty shell that was not what was on the plans submitted" - that the money not spent into the structure was THEFT - and that they KNEW it would fall. the "hard rock hotel" might be another such incident - as a lowely illegal alien worker sensed it and took his own video - saying this was more or less his opinion of the state of affairs
