De Martini did NOT, I repeat, DID NOT, build the WTC. He did not work there until 1993 - he was a an architect hired as construction manager after the first terroirst attack. He helped rebuild parts of it that were damaged or destroyed by the bombing attack. Unfortunately, he was killed on 9/11.

I believe that DiMartini said that the towers would survive jet crashes - but he was wrong. This is not the first time that you have claimed that De Martini was involved in the construction of the WTC, "believe the guy who built it" - so please read the link below.

All I'm claiming is that I talked to a seasoned professional architect in NYC on 9/11, who predicted exactly what would happen. I believe that other people have a different opinion, but I'll go with mine - and I don't think that any investigation will prove the contrary.

"De Martini had first worked at the twin towers when engineer Leslie E. Robertson Associates hired him to assess damage after the terrorist bomb blast of 1993. He did such a good job that the port authority hired the 49-year-old New Jersey native to do the job as a staff member. He was based in an office on the 88th floor of the north tower. He recently gave a tour of the towers to students from his old high school. "He loved the structure's massiveness and always pointed out that there was a big subgrade complex that was a city of its own," says his wife, Nicole, who is also an architect."
