Why into its footprint? What was so wrong with them being thrown around in all over the complex? They just tore the whole site down, instead of just the towers, as the only major difference after it was all said and done. (Not to mention that much symmetry, would be a dead give away. It would also be harder to hide the charges on every floor if you didn't throw debris outwards.)
When you set up all these nonsense conditions to be met, that really didn't need to be, it's no wonder you have such problems imaging how easy it would be to do to those buildings, exactly what was done.

I have worked in many (5) rather large buildings in my city. My position at these facilities is to know exactly what is going on in my building.
How would I know? I hire all the contractors. I know who is coming in my building to do work. I know what work is being done.
AT ALL TIMES
Could someone sneak a bomb in here?
Sure
Could someone wire this building I am in now for demolition?
No way.

Just curious but why do you say there was only structural damage on one floor? Which building are you referring to?
This leads to creep buckling of columns (e.g., Baˇzant
and Cedolin 1991, Sec. 9), which consequently lose their load carrying capacity (stage 2).
Once more than about a half of the columns in the critical floor that is heated most suffer
buckling (stage 3), the weight of the upper part of the structure above this floor can no
longer be supported, and so the upper part starts falling down onto the lower part below the
critical floor, gathering speed until it impacts the lower part. At that moment, the upper
part has acquired an enormous kinetic energy and a significant downward velocity.

You keep saying how easy it would be. Fine. Explain it in detail.

I could give scenarios, but I would be completely fabricating them out of my own imagination,
and I know your attention span is so short that you would not take them for what they are (examples),
but simply attack them as having no proof.
And of course you would be right. If you are an intelligent person, think about how I could possibly know who planted what and where. I couldn't.
So do you want a make-believe scenario, or do you want me to keep repeating that there is no possible way for me to know exactly who planted what and where?
I wasn't there, I haven't seen any security videos, I don't have buddies that are Navy seals, you know. That absolutely does not mean it could not have happened.
I'd be interested to know if there is anything in particular you think would make this difficult, considering that people REALLY aren't that nosy, especially when you have clearance, and getting access to a building in the first place is not THAT hard either. So what's the big deal? Why should I think this would be impossible?

Your blanket statement is incorrect. Unless we too are part of the massive conspiracy? Maybe that's it ?!?! The conspiracy just keeps getting bigger and bigger Before you know it, everyone but the truthers will need to be involved in the conspiracy for it to be legit

How would they be timed?
The purpose of the present invention is a demolition installation, the original design of which enables it to eliminate all disadvantages of existing electrically controlled installations, and in particular, eliminates all risks of accidental or mischievous firing both during work to install charges and priming operations, and during prior storage and transport of components of the installation.
According to the present invention, this result is obtained by means of a demolition installation characterized by the fact that it comprises at least two independent groups, each including:
a control unit with several outputs, each comprising at least one laser source and at least one control switch for the said laser source, in which closure will cause the laser source to emit a laser beam at one or more of the said outputs;
optically controlled pyrotechnic initiators placed at determined locations in the structure to be demolished; and
optical fibers connecting each of the pyrotechnic initiators to one of the outputs of the control unit.
In an installation designed in this way, pyrotechnic initiators are only fired optically through the optical fibers. Therefore, firing is absolutely independent of stray currents. This procures optimum safety, particularly when the construction to be demolished is located in or close to electrical substations or under catenary lines. Furthermore, stormy weather has no influence on the work progress or safety.
The characteristic mentioned above also means that constructions located in large urban centers can be demolished at no risk, despite the large amount of electronic equipment present in these centers.
Furthermore, firing triggered by mischievous persons is impossible, since these persons would need a laser and the laser will have to be compatible with the precise frequency of the laser used in the installation.
Since firing is controlled optically, ignition cannot be disturbed by any metal mass. Safety during transport and during storage of components is also guaranteed.
