I was an asbestos abatement project mgr, lab tech and abatement crew supervisor for 24yrs.
I worked several big scale Federal contract projects, explosive demolitions prep, factory and office tower renovations, FAA control center and KCMO Aviation Dept projects, US Prisons and alot of DOD contract military installations. I held all kinds of environmental certifications.
One evening about a year before 9/11, I was with several industry peers in St Louis attending an EPA region 7 seminar. Sitting in the bar talking shop with guys from all over the country and the subject of rumor on good authority that the biggest abatement project ever planned was gonna happen in NYC. Undisclosed big secret about what properties involved. Huge contracts reported worth over half a billion dollars. It would require 75% or more of the currently available trained personnel in the country to accomplish. Additional Abatement workers would need training and experienced personnel such as field lab techs, support logistics, contractor supervision, project design and inspectors could be very lucrative $.
25yrs later this article shows that the rumor was true and possible motive for controlled demolition covered as a terrorist plot.
