A Conversation for World's Tallest Buildings - A Timeline for the 20th Century

There are two factual errors in the otherwise-excellent A864650, "World's Tallest Buildings - A 20th Century Timeline." Both errors may be found in the segment discussed the (former) World Trade Center in NYC. For one thing, the towers were destroyed in 2001, not 2002 (as stated), and they were destroyed by a terrorist attack, not an "alleged" (!) terrorist attack (as stated). The former point is a mere typographical error, while the latter is a perpetuation of one of the many idiotic conspiracy theories that have floated-around at various times, in the face of an overwhelming body of hard evidence. The author does a disservice to the memory of those who perished by implying anything beyond the scope of facts.
