Here is a video of the process used to bring down a building. It's about 45 min long and put aired by national geographic. http://youtu.be/3Ze8eYXuyyc Notice all the demo work that has to be done before they demo the building. Walls and support points all need to be weakened. Notice the comment at the 11 min mark discussing the strength of the support structure at the bottom of the building. A little after that they mention the fact that they will need to drill holes for every one of the 5,000 stick of dynamite. According to Wiki a stick of dynamite typically weights about 1/2 lb so just to bring down the small Frontier they needed over 1 ton of explosives. Do you think they might need a few extra stick to bring down 1,300 feet? I guess "numerous" and "small" is relative to the conversation at hand. Nice try though. At 13 min they mention that the explosions must occur are carefully times intervals so that the building falls as planned. So that leaves out the idea of remote control detonation .. unless of course you want to die while setting it up. At 20 min they talk about the difficulty of drilling in reenforced concrete walls. Need more explosives because the walls are stronger than anticipated. I get the feeling that some of you think that all you need to do is put a few pounds of explosives at the base of a building, light the fuse and run like hell. As shown in the video, it's not quite that easy. The list of reasons that the building was not a controlled explosion is long. Just need a little common sense to understand it. Something the conspiracy folks fail to address is if you are going to try and bring down the towers in a terrorist attack, why do it in a controlled blast where the destruction causes the least amount of damage? Just think what kind of damage a 1,300 ft building would do if it fell over? If the people who placed all the explosives had the knowledge how to place the explosives so that the building came down in a controlled vertical collapse, surely they could have placed the explosives in such a manor to bring it down at an angle to cause substantially more carnage. I guess they could have been terrorists with a conscious. I think that might be an even more difficult argument to make.
