well there is no evidence of controlled demolition.
That being said, it would take a team of CD professionals several months per building, to wire it up. Doing so includes removing any material covering load bearing components. In other words, they would need to strip the building down to the framework to place all the charges. Nobody saw anybody doing any of this????
In addition to that, they would need to run calculations that would time perfectly with the plane impacts, explosive fuel spill from the planes, any volatile material in the buildings themselves such as fuel for boilers, etc...
All this seems INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY, INCREDIBLY unlikely.

If it were a controlled demolition that wasn't meant to scare everyone--that was actually meant to be "controlled," you might have a point. But those charges did not need to be placed to prevent injury or damage because they didn't care about any of that. They just wanted it to come down.

Just to shake it up & kick it up a notch, I'd like to say that most people who were in or close to the building long after impact, noticed an explosion in the basement, as well as in the elevator shafts.
i doubt the CIA or FEMA know how to do stuff like that...

i dont believe you understand how advanced the technology of today is. sorry to be blunt but its very likely. i believe there are lots of firefighters who would agree.
So did they use sooper seekrit hush-a-boom explosives?

They wouldn't have to strip it down to the framework entirely.
People did see signs of this going on, but weren't fully aware of it at the time.

Charges would need to be placed to create sequential structural failure from the bottom up. The WTC's fell from the top down.

So, you're saying gravity did it then?
Okay, let's have a closer look at the physics then...
Why not?
There were rennovations going on which creates a lot of dust.
Because if the planes hit in a structural area that was particularly important for the charges to be placed and the planes damaged/destroyed/dislodged those charges, the whole "plan" could be wrecked.
...keep in mind that CD happens from the bottom up and not the top down.

Not at all, because as you stated...
