Quotes from witnesses to the demolition:

It was a frigging noise. 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.

Name one person, Make it your best case. Lets see where he was and
when he heard whatever it is he said he heard.

Nothing hear by only one person can possibly be man-made demolition.

But it doesn't account for 47 core columns and their resistance nor
the 283 perimeter columns.
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.

Why don't you take your own sig seriously?

Because all the windows were of similar shape and strength.

From that distance, every window appeared to be a similar size.
DUH.

A lot like the speed with which a balloon explodes. Similarity?
Both are driven by a compressible fluid.

Prove that it's not pretty much what you'd expect from enough
pressure exerted against that size and strength glass.

False. They were seen and documented for what they were.

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? Again, DUH!

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. VIOLA!

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.

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.

False. See above.

*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.

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.

Wrong, for all of the above reasons.

Standard Disinfo tactic, deny anything presented as evidence exists
even if it's right in front of your face.
