The radical economical genius design of the WTC towers was an opportunity to humiliate American industriousness. After gaining control of R&D, the Rockefellers push forward into failure, knowing that the failure to permanently manage the aluminum/steel interface corrosion meant premature failure of the structure and the ultimate guarantee that the center of world finance would stay in London. Believe it or not, it is true that Kaiser Aluminum was given ancient and middle age alchemy texts by which they would pursue the quest to find the standard to permanently HALT corrosion between dissimilar metals in a marine or just slightly damp environment. They failed miserably. Eventually long after the WTC towers, this problem was solved. But the WTC towers were doomed to a short 30-35 year duration of serviceable use. Not theory. It was a downer caused by the high cost of construction in Manhattan, and the greed pushing the project along before the technology necessary had been discovered, which was never found in alchemy but was found using nuclear chemistry..
