Mr e > an interesting question: how do you think the buildings would have collapsed, absent the theoretical explosives?

From my reading about high-rise buildings which have been on fire they don't collapse. In fact, they seem to burn for days and days until nothing more than a shell is left. Therefore, I must believe that, absent theoretical explosives, the WTC should have burned in a similar fashion to similar buildings which were ablaze. Indeed, there are reasons to believe that the fires at the WTC were not as severe as in other conflagrations and therefore there was even a good possibility that they could have been put out.
