(AE’s) Editors note: In order to learn more about what caused the explosive demolition of the WTC Twin Towers and Building 7, researcher Aidan Monaghan submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to the NYC Department of Buildings (DoB) about construction projects performed in the decade prior to 9/11. The response by the DoB reveals that the documentation for these buildings contains information that could be considered dangerous. Architects and engineers want to know what would be so dangerous about releasing the important technical records that could save lives in possible future building failures.

Within a September 13, 2011 FOI response from the New City Department of Buildings (DoB), it is noted that World Trade Center Buildings 1, 2 and 7 have been deemed sensitive buildings and thus, plans for these buildings have been exempted from disclosure by statute because “if disclosed, the documents requested would endanger the life or safety of any person.”

The DoB reply also affirms a previous finding that no elevator records whatsoever were located regarding the extensive elevator modernization within WTC buildings 1 and 2, one of the largest ever. [1] Additionally, the DoB reply advises that the Port Authority of NY/NJ are not under the jurisdiction of the NYC DoB and that records for major pre-9/11 renovations may not have been submitted to the DoB.
