That's just nuts. Actual scientists have studied the collapses in detail and they understand why they collapsed like they did. But "truthers make extremely far-fetched claims and ignore science. Their methods are identical to the creationists.

At first the self-described "truthers" claimed that the two towers collapsed too neatly into their own footprints (LOL) which allegedly too much resembled controlled demolitions. That claim is less common now, for obvious reasons. Now many claim that the towers' collapses were too messy and they must have been taken down by large (but strangely not audible on videos) explosions. So no matter how they collapsed, they were going to claim demolition.

Truthers then transfered many of their favorite arguments from the towers to WTC7, which was struck hard by WTC1 and collapsed by the large and uncontrolled fires. They didn't want their old arguments to go to waste.
