"explosion" is a good word for "loud noise".

There isn't a single first responder that things they saw man-made
explosives in any way other than as metaphor.

Why do you keep adding characters to the links, nut job?
You put "3D" in it.

Any "explosions" or magic thermite would have to go off _before_
the collapse, which means _before_ there were any dust clouds to
hide them. Enough thermite to damage a column would light up like
the sun, imagine what enough thermite to bring down the towers would
look like. Ordinary high explosives are LOUD.

That's why everyone says controlled demolition of the towers would
require Wile E Coyote physics to be in effect.

Once again, this is what _real_ controlled demolition charges
sound like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79sJ1bMR6VQ

There is NO WAY that police sirens and yells and screams are going to hide
all that noise!

How come none of you kooktards are willing to address this? I know, you
hope that by ignoring it, you hope fewer people will follow the link and
watch/listen to a real controlled demolition, compare it to the WTC videos
and realize there is no way HE cutting charges could have brought down the
towers.

That would depend on the size of the explosion, nut job. The
towers were two hundred feet across.
Why do you "think" all these people would lie about what
they saw, heard, and felt, nut job?

Explosions

Reports of Sights and Sounds of Explosions in the Oral Histories
The oral histories released on August 12, 2005 contain many
recollections of the sights and sounds of explosions. The excerpts on
this page describe perceptions of the South Tower collapse, except where
noted otherwise.


Rich Banaciski -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 22]
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.
Interview, 12/06/01, New York Times

Brian Becker -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Engine 28]
So I think that the building was really kind of starting to melt. We
were -- like, the melt down was beginning. The collapse hadn't begun,
but it was not a fire any more up there. It was like -- it was like that
-- like smoke explosion on a tremendous scale going on up there.
Interview, 10/09/01, New York Times

Greg Brady -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.) [Battalion 6]
We were standing underneath and Captain Stone was speaking again. We
heard -- I heard 3 loud explosions. I look up and the north tower is
coming down now, 1 World Trade Center.
....
We were standing in a circle in the middle of West Street. They were
talking about what was going on. At that time, when I heard the 3 loud
explosions, I started running west on Vesey Street towards the water. At
that time, I couldn't run fast enough. The debris caught up with me,
knocked my helmet off.
Interview, , New York Times

Timothy Burke -- Firefigter (F.D.N.Y.) [Engine 202]
Then the building popped, lower than the fire, which I learned was I
guess, the aviation fuel fell into the pit, and whatever floor it fell
on heated up really bad and that's why it popped at that floor. That's
the rumor I heard. But it seemed like I was going oh, my god, there is a
secondary device because the way the building popped. I thought it was
an explosion.
Interview, 01/22/02, New York Times

Ed Cachia -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Engine 53]
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.
Interview, 12/06/05, New York Times

Frank Campagna -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 11]
There was nobody in the intersection, nobody in the streets in general,
everyone just saying come on, keeping coming, keep coming. That's when
[the North Tower] went. I looked back. You see three explosions and then
the whole thing coming down. I turned my head and everybody was
scattering. From there I don't know who was who. I don't even know where
my guys went. None of us knew where each other were at at that point in
time.
Interview, 12/04/01, New York Times

Craig Carlsen -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 8]
I guess about three minutes later you just heard explosions coming from
building two, the south tower. It seemed like it took forever, but there
were about ten explosions. At the time I didn't realize what it was. We
realized later after talking and finding out that it was the floors
collapsing to where the plane had hit.
....
You did hear the explosions [when the North Tower came down]. Of course
after the first one -- the first one was pretty much looking at in like
in awe. You didn't realize that this was really happening because you
kind of just stood there and you didn't react as fast as you thought you
were going to. The second one coming down, you knew the explosions. Now
you're very familiar with it.
Interview, 01/25/02, New York Times

Jason Charles -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
I grabbed her and the Lieutenant picked her up by the legs and we start
walking over slowly to the curb, and then I heard an explosion from up,
from up above, and I froze and I was like, oh, s___, I'm dead because I
thought the debris was going to hit me in the head and that was it.
Then everybody stops and looks at the building and they they take off.
The Lieutenant dropped her legs and ran. The triage center, everybody
who was sitting there hurt and, oh, you know, help me, they got up and
and everybody together got up and ran. I looked at them like why are
they running? I look over my shoulder and I says, oh, s___, and then I
turned around and looked up and that's when I saw the tower coming down.
....
North Tower:
We start walking back there and then I heard a ground level explosion
and I'm like holy s___, and then you heard that twisting metal wreckage
again. Then I said s___ and everybody started running and I started
running behind them, and we get to the door.
Interview, 01/23/02, New York Times

Frank Cruthers -- Chief (F.D.N.Y.) [Citywide Tour Commander]
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.
Interview, 10/31/01, New York Times

James Curran -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
A guy started scremaing to run. When I got underneath the north bridge I
looked back and you heard it, I heard like every floor went chu-chu-chu.
Looked back and from the pressure everything was getting blown out of
the floors before it actually collapsed.
Interview, 12/30/01, New York Times

Kevin Darnowski -- Paramedic (E.M.S.)
I started walking back up towards Vesey Street. I heard three
explosions, and then we heard like groaning and grinding, and tower two
started to come down.
Interview, 11/09/01, New York Times

Dominick Derubbio -- Battalion Chief (F.D.N.Y.) [Division 8]
After a while we were looking up at the tower, and all of a sudden
someone said it's starting to come down.
....
This would be the first one.
....
This one here. It was weird how it started to come down. It looked like
it was a timed explosion, but I guess it was just the floors starting to
pancake one on top of the other.
Interview, 10/12/01, New York Times

Karin Deshore -- Captain (E.M.S.)
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.
Interview, 11/07/01, New York Times

Brian Dixon -- Battalion Chief (F.D.N.Y.)
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. Then I guess in some sense of time we looked at it and
realized, no, actually it just collapsed. That's what blew out the
windows, not that there was an explosion there but that windows blew
out. The realization hit that it's going to fall down, the top's coming
off. I was still thinking -- there was never a thought that this whole
thing is coming down. I thought that that blew out and stuff is starting
to fly down. The top is going to topple off there.
Interview, 10/25/01, New York Times

Michael Donovan -- Captain (F.D.N.Y.)
Anyway, with that I was listening, and there was an incredibly loud
rumbling. I never got to look up. People started running for the
entrances to the parking garages. They started running for the
entrances. I started running without ever looking up. The roar became
tremendous. I fell on the way to the parking garages. Debris was
starting to fall all around me. I got up, I got into the parking
garages, was knocked down by the percussion. I thought there had been an
explosion or a bomb that they had blown up there. The Vista
International Hotel was my first impression, that they had blown it up.
I never got to see the World Trade Center coming down.
Interview, 11/09/01, New York Times

James Drury -- Assistant Commissioner (F.D.N.Y.)
We were in the process of getting some rigs moved when I turned, as I
heard a tremendous roar, explosion, and saw that the first of the two
towers was starting to come down.
....
When the dust started to settle, I headed back down towards the World
Trade Center and I guess I came close to arriving at the corner of Vesey
and West again where we started to hear the second roar. That was the
north tower now coming down. 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. Obviously we were later proved
wrong.
....
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

Thomas Fitzpatrick -- Deputy Commissioner for Administration (F.D.N.Y.)
We looked up at the building straight up, we were that close. All we saw
was a puff of smoke coming from about 2 thirds of the way up. Some
people thought it was an explosion. I don't think I remember that. I
remember seeing it, it looked like sparkling around one specific layer
of the building. I assume now that that was either windows starting to
collapse like tinsel or something. Then the building started to come
down. My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks
when they show you those implosions on TV. I would have to say for three
or four seconds anyway, maybe longer. I was just watching. It was
interesting to watch, but the thing that woke everybody up was the cloud
of black material. It reminded me of the 10 commandments when the green
clouds come down on the street. The black cloud was coming down faster
than the building, so whatever was coming down was going to hit the
street and it was pretty far out. You knew it wasn't coming right down.
Judging from where people were jumping before that, this cloud was much
further.
Interview, 10/16/01, New York Times

Gary Gates -- Lieutenant (F.D.N.Y.)
I looked up, and the building exploded, the building that we were very
close to, which was one tower. The whole top came off like a volcano.
....
So now both towers have been hit by a plane. The north tower was
burning. So the explosion, what I realized later, had to be the start of
the collapse. It was the way the building appeared to blowout from both
sides. I'm looking at the face of it, and all we see is the two sides of
the building just blowing out and coming apart like this, as I said,
like the top of a volcano.
Interview, 10/12/01, New York Times

Kevin Gorman -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 22]
North Tower:
John Malley, who was right behind me, I turned around for him, because
he was doing something, either putting his coat on or something, and as
I was looking at him I heard the explosion, looked up, and saw like
three floors explode, saw the antenna coming down, and turned around and
ran north.
Interview, 01/09/02, New York Times

Stephen Gregory -- Assistant Commissioner (F.D.N.Y.)
We both for whatever reason -- again, I don't know how valid this is
with everything that was going on at that particular point in time, but
for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the
Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw
low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never
mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level
flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I
thought -- at that time I didn't know what it was. I mean, it could have
been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw
a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.
....
[It was at] the lower level of the building. You know like when they
demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls
down? That's what I thought I saw.
....
He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you
mean by see anything? He said did you see flashes? I said, yes, well, I
thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them too.
....
I know about the explosion on the upper floors. This was like at eye
level. I didn't have to go like this. Because I was looking this way.
I'm not going to say it was on the first floor or the second floor, but
somewhere in that area I saw to me what appeared to be flashes.
Interview, 10/03/01, New York Times

Gregg Hansson -- Lieutenant (F.D.N.Y.)
That's basically where we were. Then a large explosion took place. In my
estimation that was the tower coming down, but at that time I did not
know what that was. I thought some type of bomb had gone off. I was, I
believe, ahead of the rest of the firefighters and officers there. I
made it to the corner, and I took about four running steps this way when
you could feel the rush of the wind coming at you. I believed that that
was a huge fireball coming at the time.
Interview, 10/09/01, New York Times

Timothy Julian -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 118]
We came out from 90 West, made a left, headed east, and right when we
got to the corner of Washington and Albany, that's when I heard the
building collapse.
First I thought it was an explosion. I thought maybe there was bomb on
the plane, but delayed type of thing, you know secondary device.
....
You know, and I just heard like an explosion and then cracking type of
noise, and then it sounded like a freight train, rumbling and picking up
speed, and I remember I looked up, and I saw it coming down.
Interview, 12/26/01, New York Times

Art Lakiotes -- Chief (F.D.N.Y.) [Safety Command]
Tower one now comes down. Same thing but this time some of us take off
straight down West Street, because we realized later on, subconsciously
we wanted to be near buildings. We all thought it was secondary
explosives or more planes or whatever.
Interview, 12/03/01, New York Times

John Malley -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 22]
We were walking into darkness. As we walked through those revolving
doors, that's when we felt the rumble. I felt the rumbling, and then I
felt the force coming at me. I was like, what the hell is that? In my
mind it was a bomb going off. The pressure got so great, I stepped back
behind the columns separating the revolving doors. Then the force just
blew past me. It blew past me it seemed for a long time. In my mind I
was saying what the hell is this and when is it going to stop? Then it
finally stopped, that pressure which I thought was a concussion of an
explosion. It turns out it was the down pressure wind of the floors
collapsing on top of each other. At that point everything went black,
and then the collapse came. It just rained on top of us. Everything
came. It rained debris forever.
Interview, 12/12/01, New York Times

Julio Marrero -- E.M.T. (F.D.N.Y.)
I was screaming from the top of my lungs, and I must have been about ten
feet away from her and she couldn't even hear me, because the building
was so loud, the explosion, that she couldn't even hear me. I just saw
everybody running; and she saw us running, and she took off behind us.
Interview, 10/25/01, New York Times

Orlando Martinez -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
There was an explosion and after we started running, I was able to make
it to Chambers and West, where I only saw one EMT, EMT Vega. She is new
here. She was the only EMT I saw from the station and with all the cops
and everybody else running, rescue workers. I grabbed her and I said
just stay with me. We will try to get out of here.
Interview, 11/01/01, New York Times

Linda McCarthy -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
So when that one went down. I thought the plane was exploding, or
another plane hit. I had no idea it was coming down. But I couldn't see
it gone, because I couldn't see it really in the first place with all
the smoke.
Interview, 11/28/01, New York Times

James McKinley -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
After that I heard this huge explosion, I thought it was a boiler
exploding or something. Next thing you know this huge cloud of smoke is
coming at us, so we're running. Everyone is, firemen, PD, everyone is
running away from the World Trade Center, up Vessey Street. This is
North End, we was running around Vessey and around North end to get away
from the first smoke.
Interview, 10/12/01, New York Times

Joseph Meola -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Engine 91]
As we are looking up at the building, what I saw was, it looked like the
building was blowing out on all four sides. We actually heard the pops.
Didn't realize it was the falling -- you know, you heard the pops of the
building. You thought it was just blowing out.
Interview, 12/11/01, New York Times

Keith Murphy -- (F.D.N.Y.) []
I was standing kind of on the edge of where our elevator bank met the
big elevator bank. That was when the - I determined that's when the
north tower collapses. We are standing there and the first thing that
happened, which I still think is strange to me, the lights went out.
Completely pitch black. Since we are in that core little area of the
building, there is no natural light. No nothing, I didn't see a thing.
I had heard right before the lights went out, I had heard a distant boom
boom boom, sounded like three explosions. I don't know what it was. At
the time, I would have said they sounded like bombs, but it was boom
boom boom and then the lights all go out. I hear someone say oh, s___,
that was just for the lights out. I would say about 3, 4 seconds, all of
a sudden this tremendous roar. It sounded like being in a tunnel with
the train coming at you.
Interview, 12/05/01, New York Times

Kevin Murray -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.) [Ladder 18]
When the tower started -- there was a big explosion that I heard and
someone screamed that it was coming down and I looked away and I saw all
the windows domino -- you know, dominoeing up and then come down. We
were right in front of 6, so we started running and how are you going to
outrun the World Trade Center? So we threw our tools and I dove under a
rig.
Interview, 10/09/01, New York Times

Janice Olszewski -- Captain (E.M.S.)
I thought more could be happening down there. I didn't know if it was an
explosion. I didn't know it was a collapse at that point. I thought it
was an explosion or a secondary device, a bomb, the jet -- plane
exploding, whatever.
Interview, 11/07/01, New York Times

Juan Rios -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
I was in the back waiting, you know, so we could wait for patients and I
was hooking up the regulator to the O-2, when I hear people screaming
and a loud explosion, and I heard like "sssssssss..." the dust like
"sssssssss..." So I come out of the bus, and I look and I see a big
cloud of dust and debris coming from the glass...
Interview, 10/10/01, New York Times

Michael Ober -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
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. I was sitting there looking at it. I just never thought
they would ever come down, so I didn't think they were coming down. I
just froze and stood there looking at it.
Interview, 10/16/01, New York Times

Angel Rivera -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
Mike Mullan walked one flight up, and then the most horrendous thing
happened. That's when hell came down. It was like a huge, enormous
explosion. I still can hear it. Everything shook. Everything went black.
The wind rushed, very slowly [sound], all the dust, all the -- and
everything went dark.
Interview, 01/22/02, New York Times

Daniel Rivera -- Paramedic (E.M.S.) [Battalion 31]
Then that's when -- I kept on walking close to the south tower, and
that's when that building collapsed.
....
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.
Interview, 10/10/01, New York Times

Kennith Rogers -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
Meanwhile we were standing there with about five companies and we were
just waiting for our assignment and then there was an explosion in the
south tower, which, according to this map, this exposure just blew out
the flames. A lot of guys left at that point. I kept watching. Floor
after floor after floor. One floor under another after another and when
it hit about the fifth floor, I figured it was a bomb, because it looked
like a synchronized deliberate kind of thing. I was there in '93.
Interview, 12/10/01, New York Times

Patrick Scaringello -- Lieutenant (E.M.S.)
I started to treat patients on my own when I heard the explosion from up
above. I looked up, I saw smoke and flame and then I saw the top tower
tilt, start to twist and lean.
....
I was assisting in pulling more people out from debris, when I heard the
second tower explode. When I tried to evacuate the area, by running up
Fulton, got halfway up.
Interview, 10/10/01, New York Times

Mark Steffens -- Division Chief (E.M.S.)
Then there was another it sounded like an explosion and heavy white
powder, papers, flying everywhere. We sat put there for a few minutes.
It kind of dissipated.
....
That's when we heard this massive explosion and I saw this thing rolling
towards us. It looked like a fireball and then thick, thick black smoke.
Interview, 10/03/01, New York Times

John Sudnik -- Battalion Chief (F.D.N.Y.)
The best I can remember, we were just operating there, trying to help
out and do the best we could. Then we heard a loud explosion or what
sounded like a loud explosion and looked up and I saw tower two start
coming down. Crazy.
Interview, 11/07/01, New York Times

Neil Sweeting -- Paramedic (E.M.S.)
You heard a big boom, it was quiet for about ten seconds. Then you could
hear another one. Now I realize it was the floors starting to stack on
top of each other as they were falling. It was spaced apart in the
beginning, but then it got to just a tremendous roar and a rumble that I
will never forget.
Interview, 11/01/01, New York Times

Jay Swithers -- Captain (E.M.S.)
At that point I looked back and most of the people who were triaged in
that area with the triage tags on them got up and ran. I took a quick
glance at the building and while I didn't see it falling, I saw a large
section of it blasting out, which led me to believe it was just an
explosion. I thought it was a secondary device, but I knew that we had
to go.
....
Within a few moments, I regrouped with Bruce Medjuck and I asked him to
tell them on the radio to send us MTA buses to get people out. That
didn't happen. But one thing that did happen was an ambulance pulled up
which was very clean. So I assumed that the vehicle had not been in the
- what I thought was an explosion at the time, but was the first collapse.
Interview, 10/30/01, New York Times

David Timothy -- E.M.T. (E.M.S.)
The next thing I knew, you started hearing more explosions. I guess this
is when the second tower started coming down.
Interview, 10/25/01, New York Times

Albert Turi -- Deputy Assistant Chief (F.D.N.Y.)
The next thing I heard was Pete say what the f___ is this? And as my
eyes traveled up the building, and I was looking at the south tower,
somewhere about halfway up, my initial reaction was there was a
secondary explosion, and the entire floor area, a ring right around the
building blew out. I later realized that the building had started to
collapse already and this was the air being compressed and that is the
floor that let go.
Interview, 10/23/01, New York Times

Thomas Turilli -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
The door closed, they went up, and it just seemed a couple of seconds
and all of a sudden you just heard it, it almost actually that day
sounded like bombs going off, like boom, boom, boom, like seven or
eight, and then just a huge wind gust just came and my officer just
actually took all of us and just threw us down on the ground and kind of
just jumped on top of us, laid on top of us.
....
At that point were were kind of standing on the street and I looked to
my left and actually I noticed the tower was down. I didn't even know
that it was when we were in there. It just seemed like a huge explosion.
Interview, 01/17/02, New York Times

Stephen Viola -- Firefighter (F.D.N.Y.)
Our guy went in with 13 truck, and he was coming down with the guy from
13 truck to bring the elevator to us, and when he was either going up or
coming down the elevator, that's when the south tower collapsed, and it
sounded like a bunch of explosions. You heard like loud booms, but I
guess it was all just stuff coming down, and then we got covered with
rubble and dust, and I thought we'd actually fallen through the floor
into like the PATH tubes, because it was so dark you couldn't see
anything, and from there it was a little hazy from there on.
Interview, 01/10/02, New York Times

William Wall -- Lieutenant (F.D.N.Y.) [Engine 47]
At that time, we heard an explosion. We looked up and the building was
coming down right on top of us, so we ran up West Street. We ran a
little bit and then we were overtaken by the cloud and we hid behind a
white Suburban.
....
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.

OK, Why should I play 21 questions watching 60 minutes of video when
all it takes is 10 seconds of video of the initiation of a collapse
with a correctly timed "BOOM" on the sound track.

No such video exists.

It it did, it would have been on the front page
of every Twoofer web site for that last 8 years.

There were countless video cameras in operation at WTC filming the
towers from all angles. None of them recorded the initiation of
man-made demolition.
