In my scenario where the planes hit specifically doesn't matter as long as it was higher up. The explosives are not connected by wiring. The detonation sequence could have been programmed after the plane damage occurred.
Do you even realize how completely unlikely this is? Do you realize how much engineering and planning has to go into a building demolition using explosives? It's absolutely absurd to think that this 'detonation sequence' you mention could be programmed on-the-fly with only a few hours' assessment of the trauma inflicted on the buildings.
Ab.
Surd.
There is no problem with the squibs. The problem with the squibs is how does air that is compressed evenly in all directions single out a floor or a single window preceding the collapse by many floors? The other floors and windows were constructed of the same material and exposed to the same pressures.
Explosives are internal in a traditional CD but squibs go external.
So, how again were these charges placed on the outsides of the towers without the R.E.T.C.H. (Republican Elite Tactical Commando Hitsquad) Agents being seen? Did no one who worked there look out their window and say "hmm, that strange package with the antenna wasn't stuck to the girder outside my window yesterday, maybe I should call security"?

Do these squibs and the spacing look familiar in the core destruction phase of the demo above?
...And your point is? Here's an insect that looks loke a flower:

Just because these insects look like flowers doesn't mean they're actually walking, flying flowers, does it?
Why bother with explosives?
1) Terrorism strategy recognizes the use of secondary devices. If you want to believe terrorists did it then maybe the USG is hiding the fact terrorists were able to conduct an operation inside the buildings even though they had before.
Just driving a truck packed with explosives into the underground parking facility is a lot simpler than the plan you
hallucin describe, if you're referring to the '93 attempt.
2) Because it made the event 10x more dramatic and removed the expense and hazard of manually destroying the towers from the impact point down later.
K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, stupid.) The plot to fly the planes into the buildings was probably the most complex terror plot ever carried out, and and you
still want to factor it up exponentially?
Why?
(ETA)
EXPENSE AND HAZARD!?! If what you surmise is true, they just
ATTEMPTED TO MURDER 20,000 AND DID MURDER 3,000 PEOPLE!!! (/ETA)
The other smaller buildings in the complex could be cleaned up from the ground. But the three tallest ones were the ones brought down in CD in my opinion.
I got
a belly-button an opinion, too.
