Hey, if they can land the rover on mars that way, then i'm all for it.
How did you get to a conclusion that steel weakens over time? The towers stood for 30 and 28 years. Guess what? The Empire State Building has stood for over 75 years, the Verrazano Bridge for over 40, and the Brooklyn Bridge for well over 120 years. They aren't showing any signs of sagging whatsoever.
The new WTC plan isn't in any financial trouble. The developer is trying to get his money back from the owner for paying rent when there were no towers standing, and the PA has a problem with staying on schedule. Silverstein would have long gotten the WTC rebuilt, so don't blame him for the rebuilding effort's turtoise pace.
