I was surprised it made national news. Buildings are always exploding in the midwest. It usually makes the morning news and that is it. Do buildings not explode in NYC?

No. People in real cities try and build their buildings so that they don't blow up. I think it's due to having a more vibrant entertainment district, so that no one has to blow up buildings to liven up the day.

Sure there were those tourists from the Middle East a few years back, but as a rule, New Yorkers prefer to go see a movie or a play or something.

How do we know that wasn't a secret office belonging to the trilateral commission? I'll bet someone saw thermite flashes go off in there and they just haven't come forward yet. They've got Larry King who was across the street saying "I've never heard a sound like that before". Of course not. He's never heard the sound of a missile flying into a building.
I watched the video. Looked just like a controlled demolition to me.
Has anyone checked to see if Larry Silverstein's name is on the mortgage?

Dang! You East Coasters sure are boring. No wonder why your trail behind us in theatre seats per capita.

What's funny is the great lengths people go to entertain themselves. Like betting on a Buick falling through the ice.

Because I am in a secret office belonging to the trilateral commission?

It actually made international news.

Well, in this case, the building exploded and collapsed into rubble. Oddly enough, it looks as if this were a suicide attempt... and not a leaky gasline as I had previously suspected.

Granted, I must admit, I was damn sure it must of been some middle easterners, from somewhere near southern Jersey.
