it doesn't take long to figure out that thermite is not used for CD

Undoubtedly, any number of heat producing, relatively non-explosive reactants that are more sophisticated and compact than thermite exist, but for the purposes of initial analysis, and determining the boundary conditions, it was felt that thermite was a reasonable first choice.

no witnesses to a massive effort to wire up the towers. Most importantly, no plausible scenario has been suggested - why can't someone tell me where the explosives were placed and how many tons of explosives were used?

Marvin Bush was the director of Securacom who was responsible the the World Trade Center building security on 9-11-1. On Thursday before 9-11-1, the bomb sniffing dogs were withdrawn. On the weekend before 9-11-1, unidentified technicians swarmed over the twin towers and „rewired” them. This would have been an ideal time without security to plant bombs for a controlled demolition. Margie Burns has written extensively about Marvin Bush (search on the internet). Barbara Bush in a book has confirmed that her son Marvin was standing close-by the World Trade Center on 9-11-1 at the time of the attacks, as if to supervise.
