Man you're seriously a funny guy. Would you mind telling us a bit about your formal education in engineering? Just so we know what qualifies you as an expert. I bet if I spent some time searching google, I could find hundreds of people with engineering degrees that haven't concluded, like your ultra educated self, that explosives MUST have brought down the towers.
In the mean time, here's what 1.1 seconds of searching on google turned up:
Tod Rittenhouse is an expert in blast engineering from the international consulting engineering firm Weidlinger Associates.
RITTENHOUSE: The exterior structure is comprised of columns. The vertical load bearing members and the horizontal elements called "beams." When the plane impacted the building, it severely damaged those exterior columns. The following fire further damaged the support columns. So it was a two step event; initial damage by plane and further damage or subsequent loss of structural stability that caused the building to fail.
