Explosives did not bring down the towers.
Such conspiracy theories are fatally flawed [no pun intended].
What brought down the towers was the heat generated by the conflagration from the Jets' wing tanks which erupted at impact. The fires were immediate and spanned the width of each of the towers.
Steel is strong, but at 1200F begins to transform, evident by the change of color, toward a dark red. AT this point it can yet be cooled and "tempered" and retain most of its properties of strength, ductility, etc.
At 1800F it is weakened to the point of losing its shape and its identity as an alloy. It is beginning to melt. At 2800F it is a pourable gel, and bright yellow or even white color.
The WTC fires were estimated in excess of 2000F, weakening the structural beams and girders and connectors.
So the weakened structure collapsed under its own weight due to the effect of prolonged excessive heat on the structural steel.
This happened because America did not have sufficient security in place to prevent the numerous events of the Muslims' conspiracy, their entry to the States, their boarding planes carrying box cutter knives, etc.
To say it was an inside job? Ludicrous.
Muslims would no more conspire or cooperate with America than they would with Israel. And Shia will not cooperate with Sunni. They massacre one another because of the sectarian rivalry, calling each other infidels for their allegiance to one or the other 'tradition' of authority.

poll, was 9-11 an inside job
