X Y Zebra,

While most of what you say makes some sense, you're off on a couple of your statements.

1) Officially the WTC towers collapsed because of a failure in the connections between the floor slab trusses and the columns. Not, as you speculate, because of some failure of the central core columns.

Re: jet fuel is a very "explosive" fuel more so than regular gasoline,

Nonsense. Jet fuel is very similar to kerosene. Gasoline is much more combustible and energetic than "jet A" or kerosene.

Do a simple test. Pour a half a cup of gasoline on a bed of charcoal on your grill and notice your singed eyebrows when you attempt to light it. Now, try the same with kerosene. Notice that there is no big explosion, and the flame burns much more sootily.
