At first I thought it was -- do you ever see professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors and then you hear "Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop"? That's exactly what -- because I thought it was that. When I heard that frigging noise, that's when I saw the building coming down. Oh, when we came out of the building and we were walking across West Street when we first got out of the building, we're walking across the street and all you heard was like bombs going off above your head. You couldn't see it. It was just cloudy. And we found out later it was the military jets. That was an eerie sound. You couldn't see it and all you heard was like a "boom" and it just kept going. We couldn't see 50 feet above our head because of the dust. So we didn't know if it was bombs going off or whatever, but we didn't want to stay there. We were there I don't know, maybe 10, 15 minutes and then I just remember there was just an explosion. It seemed like on television they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions. It actually gave at a lower floor, not the floor where the plane hit, because we originally had thought there was like an internal detonation explosives because it went in succession, boom, boom, boom, boom, and then the tower came down. With that everybody was just stunned for a second or two, looking at the tower coming down. And while I was still in that immediate area, the south tower, 2 World Trade Center, there was what appeared to be at first an explosion. It appeared at the very top, simultaneously from all four sides, materials shot out horizontally. And then there seemed to be a momentary delay before you could see the beginning of the collapse. Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center, there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and then all around the building. I was watching the fire, watching the people jump and hearing a noise and looking up and seeing -- it actually looked -- the lowest floor of fire in the south tower actually looked like someone had planted explosives around it because the whole bottom I could see -- I could see two sides of it and the other side -- it just looked like that floor blew out. I looked up and you could actually see everything blew out on the one floor. I thought, geez, this looks like an explosion up there, it blew out. I should say that people in the street and myself included thought that the roar was so loud that the explosive - bombs were going off inside the building. The sight of the jumpers was horrible and the turning around and seeing that first tower come down was unbelieveable. The sound it made. As I said I thought the terrorists planted explosives somewhere in the building. That's how loud it was, crackling explosive, a wall. That's about it. Any questions? Interview, 10/16/01, New York Times My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks when they show you those implosions on TV. Then we heard a rumble, some twisting metal, we looked up in the air, and to be totally honest, at first, I don't know exactly -- but it looked to me just like an explosion. It didn't look like the building was coming down, it looked like just one floor had blown completely outside of it. -- http://911research.wtc7.net http://stj911.org http://stopthelie.com/1-hour_guide_to_911.html http://www.911truth.org http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org

Even at 1/4 second resistance by the thousands of welds and upright steel columns the building cold not have fallen in less than 20 seconds. ALL internal resistance HAD TO BE REMOVED for those buildings to collapse at the speeds witnessed. I knew it the minute I saw the first building go down into itself instead of the top falling over.

The piston analogy works just fine for those of a sane mind wherein common sense is used to differentiate the literal meaning, and the analogous meaning. Even your own "experts" have used the analogy to a volcano when proffering their theory that the dust emanating from the WTC was analogous to that of a volcanic cloud. Are they then claiming that a volcano was present on the WTC?

Well, given that you have imagined how a nuclear bomb destroyed the towers, or how this is the only time a controlled demolition ever left pools of molten steel that flowed like lava, it should be very easy for you to imagine how a rapidly shrinking contain full of air would eventually cause its weakest boundary areas to fail. If not, then fill a paper bag with air, close it, even if not perfectly, and then stomp on it.

Wrong again. As long as the volume of air is shrinking more rapidly than the air can escape, then the pressure will continue to build. That's really all there is to it. > With > his 2005 pancaking floors hypothesis, NIST?s Shyam Sunder > suggested that these pressurized containers were entire floor > areas, compressed by the falling mass.

It's even more difficult to imagine how so many columns at so many floors could have been rigged with materials that melt, and not cut, steel in such as way as to have been so precisely timed so that the melting process would happen in the exact succession required to achieve free fall (which didn't happen anyway). And, after all, all we have for this scenario is your imagination. No experiments of "melting" though steel columns of that thickness, and in the vertical orientation, have ever been performed, much less shown how thousands of such melts could be so precisely timed. > But even if this feature of the > fire-induced hypothesis was a given, to initiate the gas > pressure below, we would need to imagine the falling mass as a > flat plate, or a continuous sheet, exerting uniform pressure at > all points. False. See above. > If discontinuous, the falling mass would allow > pressure to be released upward. *Some* air is being expelled in all directions. Hence the dust clouds. The issue your "expert" fails to comprehend is that it's simply a matter of the container shrinking more quickly in volume than the volume of the escaping gas. > But we can infer that the > falling mass was probably not a uniform flat plate or a > continuous sheet > because workers who cleaned up the site described how the debris > at > ground zero was all pulverized, except for the steel assemblies. Wrong. Lots of steel was remove in assemblies, as was lots of concrete. The difference is that when removing such debris, the concrete can be much more easily broken into smaller, more easy to handle pieces than can steel. but to suggest that all of the concrete of the WTC was pulverized to dust is just as whacky as any of your other fantasies about 911. > Photographic > evidence (as in Fig. 1 above) also indicates that the falling > debris, which appeared to explode outward to some extent, was > cloud-like.

Wrong, for all of the above reasons.
