Donald Trump was interviewed in New York on September 11, 2001, by WORR. Trump said that: "The World Trade Center was always known as a very very strong building. Don't forget, that took a big bomb (WTC bombing 1993) in the basement, now that basement is the most vunerable place because that is your foundation, and it withstood that. And I got to see that area about three or four days after it took place, because one of my structural enigeers actually took me for a tour, because he did the building. And I said: I cannot believe it, the building was standing solid and half of the colums were blown out. And I mean, so this was an unbelievably powerful building. If you don't know anything about structure, it was one of the first structures that was built from the outside of the steel. The reason the World Trade Center had such narrow windows is that between all the windows, you had the steel on the outside. So, you are still on the outside of the building. That's why, when I first looked and you had big heavy i -beams, when I first looked at it, I coudn't believe it. Because there was a hole in the steel. And this is steel that is, do you remember the width of the windows in the World Trade Center? Folks, I think that, you, you know... If you were ever up there, they (the windows) were quite narrow, and in between (the windows) there is this heavy steel. I said: How could a plane, even a plane, even a 767 or a 747 or whatever it may have been. How could it possibly go through this steel?
I happen to think that they had not only a plane, but they had bombs that exploded simultaneously".
