It is my opinion that the controlled demolition effect may have even been unintentional; they knew they would mortally wound the structures for the purpose of human habitation simply through the fire, and there would really be no point in going any further.

Agreed. If they had the means to bomb, I would think it more likely that they would have bombed other buildings after the plane crashes - *that's* your diversion/follow-up, not two attacks on the same structure.

Great point about what actually would have constituted a diversion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this thread.
