To try and get a better understanding of why some folks here believe 9/11 was an inside job I recently asked a few very basic questions that I figured anyone who holds such beliefs should be able to answer.

Turns out I was wrong so lets just move along then shall we?
You always come up with faulty premises and expect answers that fit within your flawed premise... This one is no exception.
Leaving behind the un-answered question as to why, what I am interested in now is specifically how the demolition of the WTC towers - North, South and 7 if you are into that - was done. I am not interested in the usual vague generalities here (Henry, I'm looking at you). One must be very specific and be able to support whatever conclusions they present. There has so far as I know not been any comprehensive, plausible hypothesis put forward that meets the very basic criteria based upon the situation and I would like to see that change. Those criteria include (but are probably not limited too);
You see, we don't have full knowledge, the insides of the buildings cannot be seen, so, you are asking for specific knowledge on what is by nature going to require speculation.
This is a tactic you do so that at the first whiff of speculation you can jump in with a "gotcha".
1) The demolition device(s) have to be able to withstand the impacts witnessed.
Not really... The columns severed by the planes did not require the devices to remain intact.
2) After surviving the impacts the demolition devices and their detonators must be able to withstand the fires witnessed for the entire time period between impact/fire initiation and collapse.
If we are assuming RDX. Thermitic devices are not so easily ignited.
Also, devices can be placed in areas that would not be so easily affected by flames.
3) The installation of the devices and whatever it was that protected them from impact/fire must not be noticeable by a casual observer familiar with the area, such as an office worker, janitorial services, etc.
Ceiling tiles, and drywall around columns can conceal a lot, and are not typically examined by office workers.
4) The installation of said devices can not have been witnessed by anyone.
Not REPORTED as being witnessed. A construction worker appearing to do construction work would not, on it's own, raise suspicions of any office workers.
5) Explain why were the devices were initiated 59 and 102 minutes after the impacts in the case of the Twin Towers, 7 hours later in the case of 7 WTC.
If the plan, from the beginning, was to determine a fire induced collapse, it requires a timeframe to allow the flames to do damage.
6) If high explosives were used why wasn't all of lower Manhattan showered with lethal high-velocity shrapnel from the explosions? Why was no one outside the immediate collapse zone killed or injured by these inevitable projectiles? In known CD's fragments have been found up to a half-mile away and that from much shorter buildings.
Again, RDX is not the only way to take down a building.
7) Why has not a single piece of steel been found that shows the effects of explosives and/or thermal cutting devices?
If it's not looked for, then we should not be surprised when nothing is found.
8) Why were the explosives/thermal cutting devices even needed?
If the flames had gone out / not hot enough to cause failure, then it would be needed to initiate collapse... Especially necessary to get the collapse that was seen.
9) Why was no evidence for pre-planted demolition devices found at the site by the hundreds of people experienced in clearing demolition sites or by the bomb-sniffing dogs that poured over the site in the days after? If you are a fan of mini-nuke's where is the radiation one would expect of such a device?
Thermite is iron rust and aluminum, possibly with sulfur added to lower the melting temperature of the iron. Then a dog is useless.
Also, if materials are packaged in air tight and cleaned containers that were mislabeled as legitimate construction materials, it would also bypass a dogs scrutiny.
I happen to be aware that one of the ways that drugs get smuggled between Canada and the us is that the smugglers will build furniture with airtight and washed containers containing the drugs. An inspector would see the furniture matching the trucks manifest, and even if the dog is present, there is nothing left to smell. Once the delivery arrives, the furniture is dismantled to retrieve the containers.
10) If high explosives/mini nukes were used why was it so quiet?
So, anyone?
It was not quiet... The explosions have been caught on audio tapes, the most common one noticed is the final initiating explosion that occurs 1-1.5 seconds before collapse initiated, which shows in the video as the explosion syncing with the collapse of the towers.
