As for the 9/11 conspiracy as a whole, good arguments can indeed be made for it, but as has been pointed up repeatedly, the sheer magnitude of an operation like that would be absolutely impossible to keep quiet.

This.

Janitors, maintenance workers, etc... would've noticed, and later, voiced any kind of charges or unusual work done pre-911.

As far as insurance goes, you can bet that any saavy owner of any building of this magnitude reviews his insurance every year. It could just be coincidence that it was reviewed the week before and upped from 900 million to a billion. We don't know what it was insured for beforehand, but I'll bet it was close to a billion already.

As far as being built to withstand an aerial strike, I had read that it was built to withstand an AIRCRAFT strike similar to the one that hit the Empire State Building. Nowhere have I seen that it was built to withstand a large passenger jet strike. If someone has seen different, I stand corrected.

Finally, there are airline recordings and cell calls of the terrorists attack on board the planes while in flight. That should be enough to tell anyone we were attacked by terrorists.

Yes, it was built to withstand an aircraft strike, what it WASN'T built to withstand was the intense heat of the jet fuel burning. The heat weakened the trusses and once one floor collapsed, gravity took over and it was a chain reaction. And the reason the both the collapses were similar was because both buildings were designed the same way and were exposed to the same conditions leading to the same failures.
