Why would you use different demolition styles?

The twin towers were too tall to be demolished in a conventional way.

Too much height and not enough floor area for the walls to fall into it's footprint.

Why would the people who demolished them be worried about that? They're killing hundreds of people and trying to make an enormous destructive spectacle.

Also, do you have a source for this? Is it genuinely impossible to conventionally CD a building of that size?

And does anyone care to have a crack at the other question? What are the squibs?
