I'm sure even with the amount of damage it caused, they would have wanted to keep it to a minimum where they could, thus WTC 7 was imploded to save buildings around it. No point in making unnecessary damage.
(But obviously to the OSers all this was just shear coinkindink, but if you consider the big picture it don't look good for the OS)
I don't really like to speculate on what could have been used as the 'explosive' because it's hard to say, and really in the end it doesn't matter if it was space beams or a frozen fish. You don't have to know what did it to know asymmetrical damage and fires didn't.

With respect, your big picture doesn't make any sense either. They were happy for WTC 1 and 2 to detonate all over the place, causing three other enormous buildings to have to be demolished, and yet they were careful to make sure Building 7 didn't do too much extraneous damage?
But why do the collapses begin at the points where the planes entered the buildings on 1 and 2?

You really think the insurance company is going to question Larry backed by the US government?
I don't think you realise how much power even Larry holds.
This is not Joe Blow making a claim on a car 'fire' in the middle of nowhere. I would guess the future insurance payments from Larrys companies future investments would be enough to keep the insurance company from looking too hard...
Insurance wasn't where Larry really made out though, he ended up with a very desirable clean slate in which to build his new complex on, that is his job, it's what he does, invests in developments, demolishes and re-builds. This time though someone else paid for the demolition and clean up... What would that have cost Larry eh?

That's not the big picture I was referring too.
But with respect you didn't read what I said, they had no choice with WTC 1&2, they did with 7.
Did they? Here is WTC 1...
