Jul 2014

I was caused by an aircraft impact equal in energy to 2000 and 1300 pounds of TNT. Massive Kinetic Energy impacts make loud sounds.
However, you the OP implies explosives were used, why was no one killed by the blast? No body died on 911 from blasts by explosives. Zero explosives were used on 911, and zero steel was damaged by explosives.
The aircraft impacts are the cause, and how fast does sound travel in steel vs air? Use science next time before posting silly claims made by a failed movement of fantasy, 911 truth.

at 19:45 the firefighter in the video describes explosions in the basement and says,

"I know people who got killed in the basement. I know people who got their legs broken in the basement. I know people who had to get reconstructive surgery because the walls hit them in the face."



correction: the witness was a construction worker not a firefighter.

4. Obviously a collapsing tower will cause loud noises
Tue Jul 29, 2014, 06:26 PM
Jul 2014

Those two lucky to be alive firefighters heard loud noises before the building actually fell on them. The sound from the aircraft impact zone and lower, after the building started collapsing from the impact zone, would reach them first. There is a huge amount of mass which represents a huge amount of energy that needs to go somewhere. Some of it was dissipated in the form of loud noises.

The last part is a fraud. The noise was added later. Some people here may know the history. The towers collapsed from the impact zones so the bombs in the basement theory is nonsense.

No one was exposed to explosives, and if they were they would be dead if close. People were injured by fireballs from jet fuel.
Zero blast damage to WTC steel. Makes the explosives claim a fantasy, and ignores who did 911, 19 terrorists in planes.

60. What would be the point in putting bombs in the basements
Wed Jul 30, 2014, 02:12 AM
Jul 2014

when the towers didn't collapse from the basements? They collapsed from the aircraft impact zones.

Think about that. The aircraft were obviously perfectly capable of taking down the towers and the logistics in crashing some hijacked aircraft into a large buildings is far simpler than rigging a building with explosive (magical silent explosives, except heard by people near the towers) and taking the building down that way. Explosives would be redundant and the perpetrators would be guaranteed to get caught.

Think about the logistics and expertise required to rig both towers with explosive and then to get the explosive to take down the towers at the aircraft impact zones. The massive operation would be uncovered well before completion. You couldn't assemble such a team to carry out the operation because the vast majority of Americans would refuse to take part and report it to the authorities.

Controlled Demolitions are extremely loud from a distance. Loud noises weren't heard in any of the collapses, except at close range.

personally, I'll take the word of those who were there. they weren't just one or two, but hundreds were firsthand witnesses to huge secondary explosions at the base of the towers, which are clearly heard in the recorded video. I don't know how it can be reasonably denied by anyone with two functioning ears and eyeballs.

These were bodies hitting the ground. The trouble with your claims of explosives, you don't have anything but quote mining nonsesnes to support your fantasy. You take what people say, and claim explosives, no clue they heard bodies, or the impact of the aircraft whose sound traveled though the steel faster than air. But you don't care to stop and think, you spew lies you found on the internet, so you can cut and paste nonsense, and mock the thousands murdered solely by 19 terrorists. Why do you spread lies of explosives without real evidence?

The people above were not liars, they will tell you, the explosions they heard were bodies hitting stuff when the people jumped to avoid the horrific pain of burning. Ever been burnt bad?

You take quotes and turn them into fantasy.

You have no sounds of explosives used to destroy the WTC.

There weren't any "explosions" at the base of the tower other than the fireball/jet fuel conflagration that occurred immediately after impact. Explosions cause blunt-body damage when shock waves hit soft tissue - nobody died from blunt body trauma cause by expanding shock waves in the lobby of WTC 1 or 2 - OR the Pentagon, for that matter. If anyone had died from blunt body trauma from expanding shock waves from a conventional explosion, the whole world would have known about it and it would have been common knowledge. It didn't happen. There are people who said that whole event "sounded like a train". Are you going to argue that because someone said it "sounded like a freight train" that a train was running through lower Manhattan that morning?

The FBI investigated WTC crime. The commission was BS political claptrap, another big quote mining BS 911 truth source of more lies.

NIST investigate the collapse, FEMA investigated the collapse.

Ironically you ignore the biggest FBI investigation in history, and think the commision was the investigation.

The only SHAM is 911 truth, spreading lies based on nonsense like this.

110. FBI did the investigation, and found 19 terrorists did it.
Fri Aug 1, 2014, 08:23 PM
Aug 2014

The 911 commission did not investigate how the WTC collapse, NIST did. They found out it was fire - it destroys the strength of steel, always did, always will. Many high rises have been totaled by fire. But 911 truth does not care for reality.


Yes, the FBI found 19 terrorists took 4 heavy jets and flew them at high speed into the ground, into the Pentagon, and into the WTC towers. Did you miss 911? This means the FBI found that 10 terrorists took 2 planes and destroyed the WTC complex, because the planes destroyed the fires systems, and injected 66,000 pounds of jet fuel, 10,000 gallons, into each tower, starting the biggest office fires in history. If 911 happened at night you would not be fooled by the liars in 911 truth. Did you study 911 before trying to support the lies from 911 truth?

NIST studied the WTC with specific goals, and none of those goals included answering the idiotic claims of 911 truth. Have you read NIST, all ~10,000 pages? if not, how can you say much of anything

Where is evidence for explosives. So far 911 truth has jumpers who made sounds like explosives, and crashing buildings, but no sounds of explosives. Do you have some? Have you been next to an explosion? I have, some nut was sending SCUDS at me, and he blew out my windows from a half mile away - the feeling in my gut from a half mile away is what an explosive does, on 911 there were no sounds of explosives, only loud sounds. Go ahead support lies based on hearsay, quote-mining and less.

All the sounds you claim are from explosives were from other things; like bodies hitting stuff, like electrical transformers which go BOOM!
How many electrical transformers were in the WTC, like the hundreds out side my house in my neighborhood? Hundreds?

Guess what transformers and failing electrical systems on 911 sound like? Any clue? Did you try to explain, instead of falling for 911 truth lies? Do you always believe liars first?






Some of the firemen who you and 911 quote mine, were talking about possible transformer explosions ; but you only use the quote mined part, not the rest of the story

the source of the explosions at the WTC could plausibly come from electrical transformers or gas mains or whatever. but they could be from bombs going off. you can't know that without an investigation. that you are claiming these explosions are from exploding electrical transformers without any evidence tells me you are jumping to conclusion and have an agenda.

the explosions heard on the 9/11 video are too massive and violent to be coming from an electrical transformer. in the video you posted when the transformer blows up it sounds like a ordinary firecracker. but in the 9/11 video the explosion sounds like a massive 1000 lb military grade bomb going off. there's no comparison.


and if it was gas main exploding there would have been smell of gas everywhere and would have caused massive gas fires on the ground floors before the towers fell, but there was no reports of such.

NIST, the governmental agency in charge of determining the causes of the WTC collapses, didn't even test for explosive residue. Which they freely admit on their website.

From official NIST website:

22. Did the NIST investigation look for evidence of the WTC towers being brought down by controlled demolition? Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues?


NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.

your point

... the structural engineer for the WTC knows what caused the collapse, do you

ROBERTSON: But the collapse mechanism of the Trade Center is as we had anticipated it would be when we first designed it. It was not – please don't misunderstand me – it was not designed to collapse. But any prudent engineer looking at the future has to think about, what are the mechanisms that cause collapse, and how to go about strengthening the building so as to minimize that circumstance. So sure, we spent time looking at that kind of event, and that which was observable from the photographs and so forth is reasonably consistent with that which we thought would be the case.

and after Flight 11 struck the north tower officials from FEMA were reportedly telling people over the intercom to stay in their offices, the building was safe and there was no need to evacuate. Must of told them to just hide under their desks. Which probably contributed to the death toll when the buildings collapsed on them.
