the beginning about "secondary explosions" - those are caused by the odd
window blowing out as the floors collapsed on top of each other inside
the building.

That may be so. But there's so much more other stuff to consider - like
the rate of collapse, the suspiciously perfect vertical collapse of the
towers, WTC7 etc.

Fact is, we don't know the half of it.

I don't know anything about building 7 so I won't comment. But the twin towers collapsed vertically because of the way they were designed - the structural failures mostly occurring on the inside, and pulling the outside down with them. I watched a documentary on it, that explained carefully what went wrong - and they were making the controversial claim that the fire protection had been inadequate when inspected, and not rectified, which was strongly denied by the owners of the building.
