Why did firefighters hear explosions at the WTC on 911?

Question

This is a serious question. I have heard audio clips from that day and firefighters were talking about explosions before the collapse. How does this fit with the story of the towers collapsing from the heat of the fire????

Oh yeah, I should add... I am not a conspacy theorist. I watched loose change and am trying to research a bit. A have also looked at debunking sites but still have questions. I hope that isn't a crime!

Hello: Welcome to those who dare to question. I was in your shoes a few weeks ago. What I found is not something for the weak. It will turn and wrench your stomach.

This is a good time to be examining the collapse of the towers, because we are finally starting to get some cold hard evidence, that show us, how those buildings came down. Here is some of the most recent irrefutable evidence available today.

1. We now have eye witness accounts, from people inside of the building, telling of explosions taking place, on different floors, including lower floors, just before the buildings went down. Many of the witnesses, were silenced when the buildings collapsed, but their accounts live on, in just released radio recordings. (I'll try to find them on the Internet for you. I heard the firemens radio conversations, not to long ago.) They went something like this, "What's going on! I'm on the 22nd floor, and I just heard an explosion." "I'm on 72, and I heard one too."

2. Photographs of the buildings, just before it went down, show molten metal flowing out, from the building. Structural steel requires temperatures, well beyond burning jet fuel, to melt. Further, the color of the glowing molten metal, is also representative of high temperatures, beyond that of burning jet fuel. See source below, for detailed information, regarding structural steel melting points etc.

3. A chemical analysis of the molten metal, found at the site, shows traces of a chemical called, "Thermate". Thermate charges are used by professional demolition crews, to cut through steel beams, to demolish buildings. Incidentally, the samples were recovered by a member, of the clean up crew, who kept it as a souvenir memento. Most of the scrap metal, including the pools of molten steel, were recovered by a demolition crew, and discarded. There are though photos, at ground zero, showing beams that have been shearded at a right angle: Slag is shown dripping from the process. Click on photo, in website below; for a close up examination.

4. Thermate traces have also been found, inside the bodies, of those exposed to the gases from the molten debris; people such as firemen and clean up crew members.

I found the following video clip, while conducting research. It has a bias slant, but is also very intriguing. Once you see it, you'll never be able to see the 9-ll tragedy the same again: I know I won't.

Answer 2

Do you have any idea how loud the snapping of a steel girder is? As the first ones buckled under the extra weight caused by the melted girders, the sound of them snapping would have sounded like explosions.

Have you ever heard a D battery explode? Sounds like a gun shot. Now imagine larger batteries exploding and how many there are in a building (emergency lights, cmoputer batteries, etc)

How about cans that contain compressed air - cleaning agents such as lysol, etc. They explode when heated.

Think about all the things that are found in an office building that can explode under either prssure or extreme heat and you have your answer.

Oh Concrete and Stone can also explode when heated enough. Bet there were lots of both from the building itself and desk objects and flooring.

Answer 3

Have you ever been in a burning building? Buildings are full of things that go "bang" when a building is on fire because fire has a tendency to make things get sort of hot.

The towers collapsed because the infra-structure was aluminum, which has a much lower tensile strength and softening point than steel.

Answer 4

You sound like you are falling victim to the conspiracy theorists who make silly things into something they can fool people with. Haven't you heard that 9-11 was set up by Clinton before he left office? He was afraid that Gore would loose the election. I surprised you haven't heard about that. Perhaps it was the explosives set by the Clinton team. As the story goes, Hillary didn't know about it and the Lewinsky case was set up as a diversion from his real plans.

Answer 5

There are lots of things that explode in the heat of a fire especially concrete when it expands. There would also be pockets of gas and lots of electrical equipment that would have gone up. These, coupled with the intense heat and damage from the impact caused the collapse.

Answer 6

reality: The FBI bargains with enjoyed ones subjects, no longer worldwide ones. The seize of Osama bin laden would fall decrease than to the CIA, no longer the FBI. reality: a almost one hundred twenty tale development collapsing decrease than its own weight will sound like an explosion. there became into additionally no data of explosives chanced on. reality: The seismic waves created with the aid of the give way of the twin Towers heavily weakened this shape. there is likewise no data to assist the controlled demotion hypothesis. reality: No data to assist the declare that steel became into shipped foreign places. reality: One one hundred twenty-tale development collapsing WILL pulverize concrete. There would additionally be different probably unsafe shape factors, like asbestos and fiberglass insulation, which little doubt have been used interior the progression of the international commerce center towers. reality: No data to assist the declare that Bush ordered Cheney to take administration of NORAD. reality: The analyze into the 9/11 assaults completed with the aid of the 9/11 cost became right into a bipartisan and frequently known record. extra money does not propose extra accuarte. reality: To the perfect of my wisdom, you would be able to nicely be precise that no person has been fired interior the wake of the intelligence failures of 9/11. Many have resigned from their jobs in view that 9/11 although. reality: There have been daily briefings for years with regard to the potential danger that bin laden posed to america. examine the 9/11 cost's record, you will see that this memo is fairly no longer something new or surprising. Clinton had the nicely suited same intelligence. reality: there is incredibly no data to assist the declare that Bush orchestrated, executed, deliberate, or became into in any way in contact with the 9/11 assaults. in view that your view isn't the widely held view, the burden of evidence to grant such data is maximum actual on your shoulders.

Answer 7

I'm not 'into' this subject as far as analyzing every little thing but....

Explosions could have been gas lines or just about anything. Think of all the stuff that would be inside a building that big just to make everything run. (not to mention whatever was left of the airplanes)

Answer 8

Air pockets. There are many things in buildings that can cause explosions when heated think about it. Pop machine coolant. Air conditioning units. Printers,computer monitors,Large TV screens, The list is huge.

Answer 9

That;s not hard tho figure out emegin tons of concreet slaming down on top of each other echoing down through a huge vertical tunnel.
don't pay eney attention to that crack pot that sed it was set up by clintion.
he probiley thinsk that elvis is running a hotdog stand in florida

Answer 10

They heard the collapse beginning, and radioed out that they heard "explosions" seconds before they died.
