Ok, then explain. Why did they get rid of the bomb sniffing dogs after the mysterious powerdown?

That is preposterous. Modern demolition with explosives has been done for over 50 years, mainly by Controlled Demolition, Inc., (CDI) the Loizeaux family. (http://www.controlled-demolition.com) Their methods are well documented. I have read a book about them, and seen television documentaries. In all cases -- ABSOLUTELY ALL CASES -- the explosives are set in buildings in the last stage after everything that can be removed from the building has been removed, and the main support beams have been chopped. If the weight of furniture and people were still in the building in the last stage, after they cut the main supports, it would collapse without explosives. The explosives add little energy to the process -- not enough to topple an intact building. To put it another way, setting off the explosives without cutting the main supports would not destroy it. There is not a single explosive or fuse on-site or in preparation until the building has been completely gutted and is all but ready to topple over on its own. Nobody goes around stuffing explosives into buildings before they begin demolition. No "permit" would be issued for such a thing, and if they saw you in New York City with explosives you would be arrested immediately. I doubt they allow this technique in New York City. CDI also does forensic investigations of accidental explosions. The chances that anyone could fool them while destroying the Twin Towers are probably zero to five significant places. - Jed
