French film star Marion Cotillard's comments about 9/11 has landed her in hot water, just a week after she won the U.S.'s biggest acting honor. Cotillard, who earned the best actress Oscar for playing Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose," says she doubts the official account of the World Trade Center attacks, and reasons that the buildings were destroyed because it was cheaper to bring them down than to update them with new technology:
"It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them," she said.
In that case, why weren't the towers just demolished the conventional way, without loss of life? Because the insurance money would cover the costs? Please, if insurance fraud investigators spend that much time investigating whether or not some guy burned down his deli to collect a few bucks, don't you think they'd be all over a multi-billion dollar claim?
As for government involvement, well, seems to me that this administration has bungled so many things that I doubt they'd be able to pull off a scheme on this grand a scale.
I haven't seen a recent comment from her on the statements which she made in an interview last year. I have a feeling her response will be: "non, je regrette rien."
