Members of the 9/11 "truth" cult promote this falsehood for their own bizarre purposes. I presented a letter sent to me by Leslie Robertson: Dear Mr. Wieck: My response to your query comes with the preamble I am the Engineer-of-Record for the structure of the two towers of the World Trade Center. That is, I was the Chief Engineer for the design of both of the towers, and all of the drawings carry my professional seal and signature. Further, I was in responsible charge of our quality assurance operations for the construction work and, subsequent to the construction, of our on-going designs for structural alterations. From time to time persons have written to me stating that the two towers were constructed with reinforced concrete cores. Without reservation I am able to state that, for the both of the two towers: - From the very earliest inception of structural design, concrete cores were not considered as a viable option. - The architects (including Mr. Minoru Yamasaki) and our client, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, never asked that concrete cores be incorporated into the design or the construction of the toweres. - From the lowest basement to the roof, concrete cores were never shown in the drawings for the design or for the construction of the two towers. - Concrete cores were not constructed. - Evidence of concrete cores cannot be found in construction photographs. - Following the tragic events of September 11, debris from concrete cores was not found in the field. Irresponsible persons have generated material, even a letter falsely purported to have been signed by me, indicating that concrete cores were a part of the World Trade Center. The motives for such assertions is beyond my ken. Of course, responsible persons, perhaps without a proper choice of words, may state or may have stated that concrete cores were a part of the design and/or construction of the two towers. Such statements are not based on fact. Where by responsible persons, I can only believe that such statements were or are made incidental to the discussion and without the intention of certifying in any way that concrete cores were in any way a part of the design or the construction of either of the two towers. Regards, Leslie Earl Robertson, P.E., S.E., Chartered Engineer (U.K. and Ireland) :First Class Architect and Engineer (Japan) Now I see that the erroneous information has been removed, with no mention of Robertson's clarification.
