2. Tou DO realize that a controlled demolition involves the placing of
literally THOUSANDS of charges, each in their own hole drilled into the supports and the cutting away of other supports. It's not done with a few balls of putty like you see in the movies.

The collapse of the lower floors happened because of the failure of the supports on the upper floors. The sudden added weight caused the collapse.
