MYTH WTC was rigged with high explosives during a powerdown

Scott Forbes is the only source of the powerdown information; thousands of people would've been ticked off by this inconvenience and known and talked about it. This is a really silly story; security wouldn't have been turned off. There were definitely no such powerdowns at WTC 7 and WTC 1. 36 hours is inadequate for a controlled demolition; it took 24 days for a 33-level building, and it took at least 4 months for another 30-story office building to be set up with charges. It is also very doubtful that such a power-down would be necessary for a mere cable upgrade.
