I didn't see the crashes, but I saw the buildings coming down. It was a perfectly (statistically improbable) symmetrical demolition job. I saw buildings taken down all my younger life - on movie sets, around the industrial area of town... if there was one charge off, the thing toppled dangerously, sideways... you have to be very precise and GOOD to get a building to fall down on itself so beautifully.

On top of it, like in any demolition, you could see the charges going off up and down in sequence, to weaken the lower levels progressively and give the least resisitance - and the least chance for out-of-control toppling - as it went straight down.

My first thought was - they must have built it with those charges built in, in case something happened and their destruction with minimal surrounding damage and casualties was necessary.

How anyone can look at that footage and think its NOT demolition is beyond me.
