Albert,
I think that is a good assessment. I find it hard to believe that they had what it takes to do a demo on such short notice AND to send a crew into such an unstable building believing it could fall at any moment.
I can't rule out a CD cause for the COLLAPSE, but there is no hard evidence of it. Something went wrong at the transfer truss #3 and that led to the building collapsing straight down. It was a progression of failures through the structure on floors 6&7. I think that you can take to the bank.
As I have written for months now since it took almost 8 hrs for the collapse to begin (and of course end in a few seconds) a gradual weakening MAY have been what was going on. To me it signals a heat cause... but the source of the heat is speculation. The explosions witnessed were not large enough to destroy the structure AND they were witnessed as early as 10 am and the building stood for 7 more hrs.
The loud sounds heard just before the VISIBLE movement could be the structure giving way inside. Can't really know for sure since we can't see inside the building where the undoing was being done.
