    1. It did, just not "enough" as per Trump's reckoning:

      "If we didn't remove [the] incredibly powerful fire retardant asbestos & replace it with junk that doesn't work, the World Trade Center would never have burned down," Trump wrote in a tweet in October 2012. About 400 tons of asbestos reportedly went into the structures before the builders halted its use in 1971, anticipating that the government would soon ban the material.

      Also too:

      "A lot of people" appears to be a small group of libertarian think-tankers who oppose health and environmental regulations, including the ones against asbestos. Meanwhile, clouds of pulverized asbestos and other carcinogens kicked up on 9/11 may be linked to huge numbers of cancer cases among first responders and Ground Zero workers.

      1. Would that think tank be the Raysbestos/Johns-Manville/W R Grace Center for the Study of Free Enterprise, by any chance?

  1. Architects, fire protection engineers, environmental scientists and public health scientists all have different areas of expertise. One thing they can agree on, though: Donald Trump is an idiot.
