If there were bombs in the building, how can you explain this?

They fell perfectly..like a professional team of demolition men went in the night before and carefully placed detonators in precise locations....HEY...wait a minute..........

There were no bombs within the WTC. A couple here have recommended "Loose Change". DO NOT take that as a credible information source! "Loose Change" is, admittedly (from the author) a FICTIONAL project.
Think about this: When a building is brought down by controlled demolition, the bombs are placed in such a way as to make the building implode so that it will cause no damage to the surrounding area. This is not what happened in the case of WTC.
Rather, due to the air pressure released as the building fell, the walls EXPLODED, spreading debris for approximately seven to eight blocks.
So here's the most likely explanation of what happened. When the two plains, loaded with jet fuel plunged at high speed into the building, the comprimised the structure as well as starting fires. Because of the heat of the fires, the steel support structure began to expand and bow, and with the damage sustained to the exterior wall of the structure from the initial impact, the weight of the floors above could no longer be supported, and so they fell. The structure below was not designed to handle as much weight as was now placed on it, and so gave way. This happened repeatedly until the WTC was a pile of rubble.
There is no real evidence of demolitions, but rather of a makeshift "bomb" made from a 747 jet-liner, steered by men who wanted to spread a twisted theocracy.
I hope this answers any of your questions.

There were no bombs. The heat of the fire caused the steel supports to expand and sag. That caused the loss of structural integrity and the weight of the upper floors collapsing caused each floor to collapse in turn as the weight became greater and greater. It looked like it happened in a blink of an eye on the news videos but I could tell they were going to collapse well before they did when I watched it all happen in real time. What's really sad is that most of the Firefighters must have known it could and probably would collapse but they chose to do their jobs as best they could and save as many people as possible with out regard for their own lives.
I know this because I'm an ex-Firefighter. I am trained in high rise rescue and building collapse. I lost a very good friend that day who was a member of the FDNY.

There were no bombs! The towers fell due to all the jet fuel from the planes heating the metal core of the buildings. The structure, the way it was made, could not with stand the weight from the top part of the building. Thus, it started at the weakened point of impact and fell like domino's. Pretty sad.

Two planes crashed into the towers at high speed. Highly flammable jet fuel pretty much terminated the inner core of the tower structures.
As for the "loose change" rubbish, it's a fictional theory, not a fact.

Planes loaded with jet fuel exploded in the buildings and melted the steel structure. They lost their support and fell to the weight of the floors above the impact point which caused the whole building to fall.

There weren't bombs in the buildings! After the planes hit, the steel infrastructures were compromised by the superheat and buckled. I remember when the engineers who built the buildings were interviewed the afternoon of 9/11, the news anchor asked why did they fall down so quickly. One of the engineers retorted "The question should be, 'why did they stay up for so long!?'"

I just rewatched a very interesting video about this on youtube. Considering 7/8ths of each building was totally untouched you would think that the fires would just have burned out, as heat travels upward. Surely just the tops of the buildings should have fallen away?? I watched them both fall live on the news as it happened - I also was in Las Vegas when the Dunes hotel was imploded. I saw no difference in either event. Maybe I am crazy but I just couldnt see what brought down the lower 7/8ths of each building????

gravity
Notice the tower that was hit on the lower floors fell sooner after inpact than the other tower.
The fires weakened the steel frame and the weight of the upper floors collapsed the towers.

The fire was fueled by jet fuel which gets very hot. This caused the steel beams to collapse in on itself.
