Bombs in WTC1 and WTC2?

Many people seem to think the idea of bombs planted in the WTC towers on 9/11 is completely crazy.

The fact is that the '93 WTC attack was carried out by means of a van stuffed with explosives parked in the basement of one of the towers.

Thus, is it so hard to fathom the 9/11 plotters could have planted similar bombs?

Moreover, look at it this way-- if you really wanted to bring down the WTC towers, would you really count on it happening from crashing jets into them?

Frankly, I am unconvinced about bombs being used in the WTC on 9/11. But apparently some of the firefighters heard reports of bombs going off before the towers collapsed. Moreover, I saw a video of three firemen discussing the tower collapse and two of the guys described a timed series of explosions before the towers came down. There were news reports on the morning of 9/11 talking about bombs in the towers going off. There are pictures and videos which seem to show exploding puffs of smoke coming out from the towers from regions away from the plane crash sites. I haven't really been able to comb over this data with a real critical eye, but I am saying on first glance, there is some significant reason to think bombs were used to help bring down both towers.

I think one strong argument for me is that flight 175 shot out most of its fuel outside the tower when it crashed into the south tower. Thus, it is difficult to see how this limited amount of burning jet fuel could have heated the steel supports to such a degree to cause buckling and eventual collapse. Particularly, if this were the mechanism, you would think the north tower would have collapsed earlier since all of the fuel went into the building with the plane, which should have resulted in hotter fires. I know there is a difference for where the planes hit the structural components of the tower, but it is not clear how this would affect the buckling model. In any case, the south tower collapsed first, despite the fact that most of the jet fuel burned up outside in a massive fireball.

By far, the biggest reason to think there were bombs in the WTC towers is because there clearly were controlled demolitions in WTC7. If someone had them set up in that building, there is no reason to think they couldn't have been put into the WTC as well.
