Like Tommy and Syntax, I, too, am skeptical that demolition squids had a hand or eight in bringing down the towers. For one thing, duration time and project scale has to be questioned. Demolition squids cannot live out of water for more than a few minutes. This has important ramifications on the size of the projects the demolition team accepts. A slight miscalculation in the time it takes to set the explosives and retreat to the safety tank could result in a demolition team member being plated as that evening's calamari fra diavolo special at the Pearl Oyster Bar.
So, yeah, demolition squids contribute nothing,
pari passu, to epistemic warrants for the empirical belief of how the towers were brought down. Moreover, demolition squids are cheerful cephalopods and promoters of world peace. Their union motto is:
i frangere ut restituere (I break only to restore).
