Also I didn't suggest the yield. I was mearly trying to offer some insight that such devices exist and can be made this small and portable by a single man. It is rumored they can be even smaller than this and without any HE trigger. Have you heard of red mercury?

Why use mini-nukes, less practical? On the contrary it would actually be much more practical than using TNT if used correctly, simply because it would require much less time and manpower to set up, also much easier to plant without being noticed.
Bush: We're bringing down the towers with a controlled demolition! Mwuhahaha!
Cheney: Cooool, how are we gonna go about doing this?
Demolition Worker: We could secretley plant TNT in the building.
Bush: No that's booooring. Let's use nukes.
Remember this is a huge dense building with a massive steel core! The structure would go along way to dampening the explosive energy, much like the nevada underground test sites. If you bury it the effect is heavily dampened. If it were detonated outside the building then the effects would of been way more dramatic obviously since there would be no resistance or massive amounts of steel and concrete to absorb the effects.
Who said it was 1kt? If it were 0.001kt the effect would barely cover the WTC area
I expect the yield would be higher seeing how the WTC would go along way to absorb these affects.

Depends on how strong the EMP is does it not? If this is true then EMP either wipes out electronics or does nothing to them, and nothing in between?

I do not see any other way to produce this sub 100 micron pulverization of 99% of concrete in the floors.

Do you have a source for 99% of the concrete being pulverised that much?

Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Disintegrate? A peer-review of Steven E. Jones' 9/11 Research
1. Disintegration of 99% of concrete into ultra-fine dust (50% of particles under 100 microns in samples from three locations, Dr. Thomas Cahill and his group measured concentrations of particles in ranges from 0.09 to 2.5 microns).

Were nuclear fusion devices used to demolish WTC?
1. Pulverization of 99 percent of concrete into ultra-fine dust as recorded by official studies. Concrete dust was created instantly throughout the towers when the fusion device's million-degree heat rapidly expanded water vapor in the concrete floors.

It hurts to read this thread - come on people...
Any one with a small bit of intelligence can see that all those buildings (WT7 included) did not collapse... they were disintegrated - pulverized. Everything and everyone.

Isn't the micro-nukes theory pretty easy to test?
Someone who lives in New York, on this forum, go to ground zero with a Geiger-Mueller counter and check the background rate.
You can get Russian ones off eBay for around 50 bucks.
Unless you are arguing that they were fusion bombs? I think that the success rate of hydrogen bombs ignited by fission bombs is so low that they wouldn’t dare, let alone ignited by conventional explosives.
I see no reason why military grade high explosives would be unable to turn the buildings into concrete dust.
