There is some interesting footage that suggests the towers MIGHT have experienced some detonations but it ignores one simple fact. A lot of people actually saw the plane fly into the building. Unless the "bad government agency" rushed right in afterwards and planted the explosives, the buildings just fell. The falling alone probably turned the local ground above the bedrock into quicksand for a short time, like when you stomp repeatedly on the beach near the water and it turns to soup (get it? island/ocean beach/lake). the nearby buildings were essentially standing on 100+ foot long stilts for a short time. It's a great way to compromise a structure's integrity.

One thing not many people know is that the twin towers were the first of their type, and had many technology innovations that allowed the outsides to have so much glass for that height. Instead of a concrete shell, it had a concrete core.
