Statistically the odds of both Twin towers falling neatly to the ground after being hit at different levels and different times, instead of toppling to one side or another is way beyond chance.
Even if pancake theory was right (and its not) pancake theory supposes uniformity in the crush that is just so unlikely as to be ludicrous. It was all way too symmetrical, way too uniform to be the result of the different random slamming of planes at different times into the two structures.
The towers had to be demo'd to keep the damage to a minimum and that is what they did.
