who cares about the thermodynamics of the blast?!?

Thermodynamics are very important if your intention is to do as much damage as possible. This is an obvious point.

Do you seriously think that the whole chain of ensuing events would have developed differently if the towers didn't collapse?

Ensuing chains of events are difficult to predict (why I'm not rich - yet) - I'm confident the planners of 9/11 didn't foresee anything like what has happened. While they knew some sort of military response would come - could they have known how effective and crushing that response would be - particularly based on past events? Of course not.

because they had to embark the plane WITHOUT FIREARMS!!

Firearms aren't necessary to hijack planes. Many things, some of them not readily apparent, can be used as weapons. In addition, hijacking could be done with no actual weapons at all - by bluffing. Would a pilot bet hundreds of lives that a suitcase/backpack/etc. doesn't contain a bomb? What you couldn't get a trained pilot to do by either bluffing or threat is to fly his plane into a building.

It's hard to come up with any logical way 3 planes could be flown into a building at all - other than that the planes had been seized by persons intent upon suicide and mass homicide.
