There was no ionising radiation found, which is associated with fusion.
The video convinces people who have little or no knowledge of nuclwear weapons physics etc etc. There are many threads about this.
The main pont which is claimed is somehow the "micro-nuke" had it's balst directed upwards into the building somehow, without breaching the walls at ground level. Completely ridiculous. Any physiacist will tell you that it isn't possible to direct teh balst of a nuclear weapon.

The holograms machines were used to make the building look like a natural collapse (which it was) and to fool tv camera as they faked all their images through a blue screen and Computer animation.

I posit that the WTC towers did not exist in the firstplace and were just holographic projections. Ergo, there was nothing to demolish.

In fact I would speculate that there were several of these ultra low yield devices planted every 25-30 floors or so. Anywhere from 2-8 devices per tower and a shed load of c4 and thermite to weaken and cut up the internal framework before the final detonation phase took place.
I think the original perps were probably shocked from the results of the 1993 WTC bombing failure and how damn tough these towers were. Look what happened then, whatever bomb they detonated in the basement barely damaged these things relative to the annihilating force tearing up the towers in the 2001 bombing.

considering the humongous amount of potential energy effectively stored in the towers due to their mass.

How does micron sized particles of concrete have humongous amounts of mass?

The Sahara desert is made of tiny sand particles, but you wouldn't claim that it doesn't weigh much, will you?
Besides... The ejected material in the 9/11 collapse was a fraction of what really fell down.
If you ever had to hammer on cement/concrete/brick wall, you'd notice how dusty things get in no time...

Yes, but in describing it's potential energy, do you add all the loose grains of sand or is it calculated from the grains of sand itself?

According to the official reports, close to 80% of the mass was ejected. How is that a fraction of what was falling straight down?

Fires are irrelevant, because its already been established that theres no way the fires could have made the building fail. If you still believe fires did make the steel fail, you need to reexamine the data. Even NIST said that there was a low probability that fires caused the collapses..
Based on this comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed because: (1) the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns, dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, and widely dispersed jet fuel over multiple floors; and (2) the subsequent unusually large jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius) significantly weakened the floors and columns with dislodged fireproofing to the point where floors sagged and pulled inward on the perimeter columns. This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers. Both photographic and video evidence—as well as accounts from the New York Police Department aviation unit during a half-hour period prior to collapse—support this sequence for each tower.

Samuel T. Cohen (born 1921 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American physicist who is known for inventing the W70 warhead and the "enhanced neutron weapon" or neutron bomb.
In the 1990s he advocated investigation of terrorist threats like red mercury and nuclear isomers.
I would expect that if Sam were here he would say the same. Micro nukes annihilated the towers. Not gravity.
Also, does a ballotechnic have to be 'red mercury'?
Cohen later went on to claim that 100 of these mini-nukes were in the hands of terrorists [1], and later that Saddam Hussein had taken delivery of about fifty of these devices, which he planned on using against the US forces as they approached Baghdad. Obviously the later claim turned out to be untrue.

The main proponent of ballotechnics as a claimed fusion initiator is Samuel Cohen, a somewhat controversial figure in the nuclear arms field who claims that the almost certainly mythical "red mercury" is in fact a powerful ballotechnic material, and that the Soviets have perfected its use and used it to create a number of softball-sized "mini-nukes".
Most are highly sceptical of these claims due to the physics involved, as it is not clear how heat could be used to trigger the implosion required. It has been recorded that Edward Teller laughed the concept off entirely.
