Ah, but there is one key difference. In all other controlled demolitions there is never any crime to cover-up. The goal is simply to bring the building down in nice pieces to be carted off. It would seem logical that in typical controlled demolitions you would want as little dust as possible, because of the possibility of toxic plumes.

In the case of 9/11 however, there was much evidence that would be useful to destroy -- i.e. pulverize. I don't think the goal was only to bring down the two towers as with a typical controlled demolition. I think the goal was to bring down the two towers in such a manner that all the evidence would be destroyed (i.e. pulverized in to dust) so that there would be little left for investigators. If only a few well-placed explosives were used in key places the buildings certainly may have come down, but you might still have had parts of the planes, body parts from alleged terrorists or passengers on the planes, black boxes, etc.

And of course if you don't completely pulverize the buildings you might leave evidence of explosive charges that for one reason or another didn't go off as planned.

Try some Internet searches on controlled demolitions to pick up some background information on how they're done. The more you learn, the more obvious it becomes on exactly how the towers were brought down. The basic theory is to use as little explosive as possible and let gravity do most of the work for you. There's no need to blow every floor to kingdom come when all that's needed is to chop out a few key load bearing areas.
