So building seven is a conventional demolition because it looks like one, but the towers are not. Why would two different demolition techniques be used? Can you not see how that's implausible?

Thermite wouldn't have the effect described by impressme. There would have to be an explosive of enormous power to "throw" the debris, and thermite would not have that kind of kick.
You say the methods employed were different because of the different design. Can you show me demolitions that look substantially different of other previously CD'd buildings?

But in order to have any sort of explosives to be able to physically "launch" any amount of the steel exterior columns, would require TONS and TONS of high power explosives packed aruond every single column.
Also the detonation of so much explosive would create such a racket that the shockwaves would have shattered windows all over lower Manhattan. And yes, people would have very clearly heard the detonations above the collapse. There is a difference between the roaring and rumbling of a collapse and the sharp distinct detonation of high power explosives.
For posterity's sake, here is a few hundred lbs of high power explosives going off for a bridge demo:
Notice how LOUD the explosion is? Where was that at the WTC at all?

There is no evidence or eyewitnesses who saw any amount of explosives.
No explosives, no demo.
Is your opinion of the "truth" correct?
I didn't think so.
