The new structure, expected to be completed next year, will replace the 47-story building that was hit by burning debris on Sept. 11, 2001, and collapsed hours after the twin towers. No one was killed there that day.

What...the...

Hmmm, denial of a multitude of deaths?

The article is specifically talking about the 7th WTC building(nice job at butchering context), and probably means that nobody was killed in that specific building on 9/11, accurate or not.

It's not talking about the towers, it's talking about a 47 story building that was near them.

I believe it's saying that no one was killed when that particular building collapsed. Whether that's true or not, I have no idea.

Yeah, that's how I read it. Can't say I know specifically whether there were any deaths attributed to the collapse of the 7th building though.

brilliant, matlock.

I am now convinced.

9/11 did not happen.

9/11 did not happen.

even if you were increadibly gullible the only way you could derive that from the passage is if you did not read it properly.

How embarrassing for you, Matlock!

Okay, I'll admit, it got me the first time I read it over, but the second time it became apparent. It was sort of poorly-worded:

The new structure, expected to be completed next year, will replace the 47-story building that was hit by burning debris on Sept. 11, 2001, and collapsed hours after the twin towers. No one was killed there that day.

"There" could refer to either 7 WTC or the Twin Towers. The sentence appears to read upon the collapsing of the twin towers, no one was killed. To the casual glancer, in this instance Matlock, that's how it would seem. Upon further inspection, however, one finds out that everything after "47-story building" is a description of the new structure.

Don't mind the haters, dude. Happens to us all.
