What I never understood about the "controlled demolition" theory is if they were just going to blow up the towers with explosives, why bother with the planes? Or, if you're going to fly planes into the buildings, why bother with the explosives? Either of these events on their own would suffice as a massive terrorist attack worthy of retaliation.
I think the theory is that the planes weren't enough to down the towers, and that using explosives alone to down them would have required either more explosive or more sophisticated placement than could plausibly be disguised as a terrorist attack.
