it involved larry silverstein and his group private investors. it involved the insurance companies.iety there are all sorts of lawsuits. there's environmental issues. there's consulting with the communities. robert moses went out and bulldozed and built stuff. whether you like it or not, he lived in a different world. and people say oh, you know, this has taken forever. what they don't see is that settling all of the agreements on design which are more important than anything else because you want this... nobody remembers whether central park was built on time or on budget, but thank god they built central park. and nobody remembers who the mayor was, incidentally. i've asked people and i should go look it up. i have no idea. but it is true that you've got to do the right design, you've got to do it safely. we had two firefighters who died tragedy during the demolition of one of the buildings. with the exception of that and this enormous construction project, we've had not one fatal accident, which is really amazing. we've had enough death and destruction on this site. we don't want

silverstein, he bought the world trade center, he said i want to upgrade the facade.n up that plaza. you will remember, that's the most desolate, wind swept place. nobody liked it. and he wanted to fix up the buildings that he just bought. so he had asked me to come in and do some work. >> brian: that was three weeks before 9-11? >> three weeks before. >> brian: you see a plane hit the towers. a man next to you in tears and says, will those towers fall? what did david childs say? >> i immediately said no, because in the history of steel construction buildings, only 150 years or something, no building has fallen down from a fire in it. these buildings weren't knocked over, therefore, it would be like every other building in history that caught a fire, people would go in, stop the fire, and we would be in a massive reconstruction, but the buildings wouldn't fall. >> brian: they did. >> they did. >> brian: the sadness that ensued, the deconstruction of what happened is for the record books and we know it. now, moving forward, you mentioned people go down there now and th
