it was an account by a photographer who was taking shots of the towers for some reason.

while in the building he somehow was mistakenly allowed to sit in on meeting with people who were working rennovation issues with the building.

the long and short of it is that the towers would be too expensive to repair in order to fix whatever problem would make them unusable in the near future. so it would have been more cost effective to have the towers destroyed and collect then insurance than to try and repair the problem.

*that is a really shaky account of i remember. hopefully someone has the story bookmarked or something.
