I offer another suggestion instead. Keeping in line with above paper. I won't argue against it because I don't have the knowledge base to do so.
Official line is that the towers collapsed due to fire. Maybe yes maybe no
If (at least 7 WTC) was collapsed due to planted explosives ( I believe this to be the only building likely to have suffered this), if there were still people trapped inside but unreachable and the building was in danger of imminent collapse domino style. You have a choice of condemning 100? people to dominoing New York. I don't think I'd like to be in those shoes making the choice. Then the critics say, what is human life over property? Counter response, a dominoing NY skyline is more threatening than 100 human lives etc etc etc.
Controlled detonation written over as fire related causes far less ripples and debate and headaches. My other thought on this is that a controlled demoltion takes quite a bit of pre work. Now myabe the best in the game might be able to do it in such short notice but I dunno whether they would have had the time to do the proper preparations for them.
Just my thoughts.
