I fully expect that had the towers not fallen on their own as a
consequence of the planes hitting, they would have needed to be imploded.

The one bit of doubt that sits in the back of my mind regarding the
towers' collapse is this:  If we are considering conspiracy -- if only
perhaps in the form of taking advantage of an unexpected situation -- then
what might have happened after the planes hit and before the towers
collapsed?  Is it plausible that the towers (which would have been
imploded in any case due to the severe structural compromise at best) were
imploded deliberately at that time?  I feel it would have had further
negative effect on the American psyche, had the towers been taken down at
a later date.  At least the trauma happened quickly.

Study of footage of the collapse might or might not make clear whether the
collapse could have been a controlled implosion.

I do not wish to imply conspiracy here -- merely posing questions.
