Interesting that the government dynamited so many of Minoru Yamasaki's buildings...

Well, many of these projects have been demolished. Why is it interesting about his in particular? (I suspect a joke here, but I'm too dull to get it!)

Somebody please explain the joke to Gene:

In what would become common practice, the 33 apartment buildings of the Pruitt-Igoe project in St. Louis (right), which had been conceived by Minoru Yamasaki, who would later design the twin towers of the World Trade Center, were dynamited.

There is a conspiracy theory in the truther community that the twin towers of the World Trade Center were brought down by controlled explosives.
