In NYC, the FBI regularly updates building owners of any potential security threats they have. It's well known that the Bush admin had some chatter on a terrorist attack on the WTC, but had no details/didn't think it was a real threat. The more likely explanation is that the owners were given an alert that there was some sort of non-specific threat, and the owner probably bought the insurance in response to that.

I really hate the conspiracy hypotheses around 9/11 because most make no sense. People forget that the more people that know a secret, the more likely it will be leaked, so the the idea that it was an inside job, or demolished, is pretty unlikely. In the worst case, the Bush admin let it happen via inaction rather than direct participation, and in the best case they were incompetent.

That is plausible and I may take that into consideration when discussing those events.
Still pretty strange.

Yea, like the Manhattan project. Secret project with thousands of workers, and everyone found out about that because there were leaks... oh wait
