I really think you are overestimating the abilities of the government.

First of all, I seriously doubt anyone put up charges there ... the finding is concerning "thermyte", something that is designed to melt steel. It is the only logical explanation, as how the vertical columns could break ... and didn't just fall apart, or stay up as a skeleton ... as physics would require them to.
And, one thing that people also react to, and that is the enormous dust cloud. The concrede is turned to dust, which many suggest is an example of an explotion ... but, it may also suggest that the concrete was faulty, that the concrete was undercut in the building construction. It may also suggest that there were other undercut objects in the building construction.

Actually, if you consider that perhaps all of the horizontal support did not completely snap or break off perfectly, then the vertical supports would be taken down with them, twisting and breaking them apart.

No. No, no, no, no, no. That video has already been proven fake and put in the Hoax bin. It uses so much video trickery it's ridiculous, and now people are latching onto it and putting it with other footage!

Not a possibility, not even remotely.
These are vertical steel columns they are strong enough to keep up ... the entire building weight. Since this is a top down assymmetrical tear down, More weight on one side, would bend them to the side and draw the building sideways. But they don't, so they have to snap straight down, and that is IMPOSSIBLE
This is an experiment, you can do at home. You don't have to take my word for it, you can look on youtube and you'll find that just about everyone has done these experiements ... which is why people say "no". If you make the vertical columns out of tootpiks, then you'd be able to get what you are talking about. And that means, building construction failure, and an undercut project.
You have only two solutions to this, an undercut building project ... or a demolition. There is no third alternative.

This is what I hate about trolls that make these fake videos. They take the movement backwards for years. I swear, if the government is doing anything, they are the ones producing these fake videos every few years, to sidetrack people.

Explosions would be heard in a controlled demolition, and they were heard during the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC7. If you think the explosions are just the loud sounds of the collapse, that's fine, and is completely logical because obviously during the collapse energy would be transferred to sound. I heard them report explosions, not a building loudly collapsing, so I'm going to take their word that what they all heard were explosions.
No, I asked you. What else would it sound like? Almost every news person that morning called them explosions. That does not make them demolitions.

ex·plo·sion (k-splzhn)
n.
1.
a. A release of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy in a sudden and often violent manner with the generation of high temperature and usually with the release of gases.
b. A violent bursting as a result of internal pressure.
c. The loud, sharp sound made as a result of either of these actions.
2. A sudden, often vehement outburst: an explosion of rage.
3. A sudden, great increase: a population explosion; the explosion of illegal drug use.
4. Linguistics See plosion.
Energy would have been transferred to sound in a natural collapse, which is what you believe occured. Explosions would have created those sounds in a controlled demolition, which is what I believe occured.
So energy was transferred to sound but still caused the collapse?
I have never referred to myself as an expert.
I am a little confused here...help me out being the expert and all...
