Bin Laden himself said in a tape that the towers collapsing was unexpected, and he was surprised to see that.
In an alternative universe somewhere, the WTC didn't collapse. The deaths were limited to the impact floors and smoke inhalation in above floors. The fire was put out and the building repaired to look like new. This is how Bin Laden must have envisioned the attack.
Why then did they fly the planes so high into the building? The lower the impact, the higher the death toll. So it doesn't make sense from a terrorist standpoint.
.... Unless they wanted to minimize the death toll by striking high and allowing most to evacuate, but still having enough deaths and images of the towers collapsing to control voters for twenty years.
