(3,829 posts)The lack of audible explosions indicates no explosions. It's easy to imagine what caused the towers to fall this way. Not surprisingly David Chandler can't come up with the answer, or at least he doesn't want to admit he really knows the answer. It would spoil a good CT.
The towers were giant containers of air. The air had to go somewhere. The windows provided an easy path.
It should not be surprising that a massive weight falling on a large (and mostly hollow) structure from such a distance would create such a mess. Originally truthers claimed that the collapsing towers fell too neatly; too much like a controlled demolition. But when too many people pointed out that it was a mess (unlike a controlled demolition), truthers then claimed that the towers were brought down by large (and silent) explosions.
So no matter how the towers came down, truthers are going to claim them as evidence for a demolition.
