Numerous witnesses to the collapse of the south WTC tower think it resembles a demolition using explosives. Some initially believe this is what is occurring:
Reporter John Bussey watches the collapse from the Wall Street Journal’s offices across the street from the WTC. He says, “I ... looked up out of the office window to see what seemed like perfectly synchronized explosions coming from each floor, spewing glass and metal outward. One after the other, from top to bottom, with a fraction of a second between, the floors blew to pieces.” [Wall Street Journal, 9/12/2001]
Deputy Fire Commissioner Thomas Fitzpatrick: “I remember seeing, it looked like sparkling around one specific layer of the building. ... 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.” [City of New York, 10/1/2001]
Assistant Fire Commissioner Stephen Gregory: “I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista ... he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him ... I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down. ... 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.” [City of New York, 10/3/2001]
Firefighter Richard Banaciski: “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.” [City of New York, 12/6/2001]
Firefighter Joseph Meola: “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. ... You thought it was just blowing out.” [City of New York, 12/11/2001]
Fire Chief Frank Cruthers: “[T]here 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.” [City of New York, 10/31/2001]
Battalion Chief Brian Dixon: “I was watching the fire ... 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 thought, geez, this looks like an explosion up there, it blew out.” [City of New York, 10/25/2001]
Firefighter Timothy Burke: “Then the building popped, lower than the fire ... I was going oh, my god, there is secondary device because the way the building popped I thought it was an explosion.” [City of New York, 1/22/2002]
Firefighter Edward Cachia: “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.” [City of New York, 12/6/2001]
Firefighter Kenneth Rogers: “[T]here was an explosion in the south tower ... 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.” [City of New York, 12/10/2001]
Reporter Beth Fertig: “The tower went down perfectly straight, as if a demolition crew had imploded it. I wondered if it was being brought down deliberately.” [Gilbert et al., 2002, pp. 78]
Paramedic Daniel Rivera: “[D]o 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.” [City of New York, 10/10/2001]
Battalion Chief Dominick DeRubbio: “It was weird how it started to come down. It looked like it was a timed explosion.” [City of New York, 10/12/2001]
The Guardian will report that police on the scene said the collapse “looked almost like a ‘planned implosion’ designed to catch bystanders watching from the street.” [Guardian, 9/12/2001] However, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which conducts a three-year study of the WTC collapses, will reject suggestions that the WTC towers were brought down with explosives (see August 30, 2006). CTV will assert, “[F]lashes of light that seemed to indicate bombs detonating were not explosions. They were pockets of airs being forced out of windows as the sagging floors pushed downward.” [CTV, 9/12/2006

This is why eyewitnesses may not be all that reliable

You are certainly not alone in thinking that the 9/11 attacks involved a conspiracy. Many people believe that members of our government were involved in these conspiracies. This, like the JFK assassination will be impossible to prove, despite numerous investigations. The evidence is gone. Witnesses move, change their stories, or just disappear. Assuming that it IS a conspiracy (above and beyond the terrorists themselves), what would you do about it? They have gotten away with their crimes. We are at war with Iraq (which was presumably the object of the exercise).

It is, at this point -unless you have some idea of what to do -moot. A footnote in the history books.

those 3 at the instant are not interior the same classification. An athiest can have confidence interior the tooth fairy because of the fact that she isn't a non secular figue (a minimum of not in any faith I even have ever heard of). in any case, i understand some Christian families that did not enable their babies have confidence in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny becaus the two they theory it became into unChristian/ did not prefer to upset or misinform their babies/ theory it completely neglected the element of religion. So, no i does not placed them interior the sae classification as God. moms and dads can geniuenly have confidence in God while they coach their babies approximately Him, yet they understand the different 3 are faux.

It's interesting.

Lots of cops, firemen, EMTs, and other witnesses say the heard repeated explosions, and watched what appeared to be a controlled demolition.

But people who were nowheres near the site say they're wrong.

I don't know if explosives were planted before the planes crashed into the buildings or if they were, by whom, but I do believe the US government did it so that the people wouldn't object to the US going to get the oil under the guise of terrorism control.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT STEEL BEAMS SNAPPING IN HALF SOUND LIKE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CEMENT FLOORS COLLAPSING ON EACH OTHER SOUND LIKE.
ONE WORD. EXPLOSIONS.

THESE GUYS ARE NO EXPERTS IN DEMOLITIONS.
YOU SOUND SO DESPERATE TO HAVE PEOPLE ON YOUR SIDE.

I LIVE 8 BLOCKS NORTH OF THE FORMER TOWERS AND I WITNESSED THE COLLAPSE WITH MY OWN EYES AND EARS. THEIR WERE NO EXPLOSIONS JUST THE SOUND OF CRUMBLING BUILDINGS AND THE SCREAMS OF PEOPLE.

Not necessarily delusional, just ignorant about structural engineering.

They are not delusional! They are just seeing things from their own prospective and expertise.
