Those who wish to preserve fundamental physical laws as inviolate may wish to take a closer look. Consider the collapse of the South WTC Tower on 9-11:
www.911research.com...
We observe that approximately 34 upper floors begin to rotate as a block, to the south and east. They begin to topple over, as favored by the Law of Increasing Entropy. The torque due to gravity on this block is enormous, as is its angular momentum. But then – and this I’m still puzzling over – this block turned mostly to powder in mid-air! How can we understand this strange behavior, without explosives? Remarkable, amazing – and demanding scrutiny since the US government-funded reports failed to analyze this phenomenon. But, of course, the Final NIST 9-11 report “does not actually include the structural behavior of the tower after the conditions for collapse initiation were reached.” (NIST, 2005, p. 80, fn. 1; emphasis added.)

Marvin Bush was reelected annually to Securacom's board of directors from 1993 through 1999. His final reelection was on May 25, 1999, for July 1999 to June 2000. Throughout, he also served on the company's Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and his stock holdings grew during the period. Directors had options to purchase 25,000 shares of stock annually. In 1996, Bush acquired 53,000 shares at 52 cents per share. Shares in the 1997 IPO sold at $8.50. Records since 2000 no longer list Bush as a shareholder.

The first step in preparation, which often begins before the blasters have actually surveyed the site, is to clear any debris out of the building. Next, construction crews, or, more accurately, destruction crews, begin taking out non-load-bearing walls within the building. This makes for a cleaner break at each floor: If these walls were left intact, they would stiffen the building, hindering its collapse. Destruction crews may also weaken the supporting columns with sledge hammers or steel-cutters, so that they give way more easily.

"I would know if an explosion was from the bottom or the top of the building." He heard explosions both before and after the plane hit the tower.
A fellow worker Felipe David came into the office. "He had been standing in front of a freight elevator on sub-level 1 about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator shaft, causing his injuries." The skin on his face had been peeled away by the heat of the blast and he was horribly burned on thirty-three percent of his body. "He was burned so badly from the basement explosion that flesh was hanging from his face and both arms." William asks: "How could a jetliner hit 90 floors above and burn a man's arms and face to a crisp in the basement below within seconds of impact?"
Strangely, while William was on the 33rd floor he heard lots of very loud noise as if someone was moving heavy equipment and furniture around on the 34th floor. The reason this is interesting is that the 34th floor was completely empty. Elevators did not stop at the 34th floor. It was off limits due to a construction project. He said that this was the first time that he felt fear.[quote/]

HiEx TeleBlaster II
A SAFER SYSTEM
* Eliminates need for safety fuse and its inherent complications.
* Blaster not tethered to blast by shooting line or nonel lead-in line that is often too short.
* Increased stand off distances - up to 5 kilometer (not dependent on line of sight).
* Instantaneous blast initiation with test and abort and automatic shutdown functions.
* Blaster has superior control when working in areas with frequent air, marine, and other radio equipped traffic or personnel.
* Audible status confirmation to blaster
* Secure transmissions at 4 levels to prevent accidental initiation.
* Easy-to-use instructions and operating procedures.

Essentially, you're claiming it would be impossible to create a detonator that is stable for a good while and immune to random EMR. That's laughable.

Actually, no it's not. And that's really is the problem here. [...] To this day
electronic detonators have exclusion zones for RF transmitters and other devices such as cell phones, walkie talkies, etc. So are we to believe 30 to 40 years ago they put electronic detonators in a building and managed to not have one of them triggered in all this time?
Stop repeating the same old tired argument that detonators were too unstable to idle for a while.

and immune to random EMR
Security guard Hermina Jones said officials had recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks by installing bulletproof windows and fireproof doors in the 22nd-floor computer command center...

You could attempt to do some research and get them explained - or you could just set here and call me names.
