Hand placed explosive charges, a controlled situation, it's plain to see, no plane hit this tower! So that's another conspiracy theory! I find that one hard to believe, it would mean a very repid (few hours/minutes) preparation to demolish the tower, and no rumours/media investigation afterwards, or a long-standing conspiracy, triggered by the co-incidental destruction of the two main towers, or a conspiracy to destroy all three towers, two by aeroplane, one by explosives. Just think about it.
