Some 2ndary explosions happened 10 minutes after the planes hit. What were they caused by if not by bombs?

Cant say for sure, however I would appreciate an official explaination of how and why WTC 7 fell. It isn't even mentioned in the 9/11 Commission report.
No plane hit it, a few floors on fire for like 7 hours collapsed into it's own footprint at nearly freefall speed.
Needs to be explained.

I saw a documentary that said that as the building began to bow before it gave way, the stress exploded the panes of glass, of which there were thousands, in a ripple effect.
This may appear to be explosions of a chemical nature but are really just the glass breaking.
Popular Mechanics did a story on it, I suggest you do a search engine check on it.

OMG, turn off the National Geographic Channel and go outside and play. It's a nice day.
First, get your facts straight. It was ten minutes after tower one CAME DOWN.
Second, there were diesel tanks in WTC11 that were used to power the emergency generators. This stuff is all in the 9-11 report if you would read the whole thing and not just the dern recommendations.

Don't know what you're talking about but the extreme heat of jet fuel probably caused things stored inside to "explode."
Concrete slabs hitting concrete slabs would also cause an "explosive" effect as would pockets of previous unignited jet fuel catching fire.
There are so many things that could cause the effect you're talking about that are normally in buildings.

Um. Well. Uh...I would have to say they were...BOMBS.
Also - Why was the lobby all blown out. All the glass broken. Explosions. White smoke...IN THE LOBBY.
Many many eye witnesses who say they heard bombs in the lower levels and the basement of the WTC. That is consistent with a controlled demolition...get at the under infrastructure.
People really need to wake up.

Vaporised Jet Fuel igniting.

I would imagine that it had something to do with a PLANE SMASHING INTO A BUILDINGAT 600 MPH FULL OF FUEL.
just a thought

Bombs. How else was a 600,000 lb. chunk of steel (twice the weight of a boeing) hurled 400ft and lodged into 3 World Financial Center. Objects don't fall sideways

i believe the 'official' explanation for that was that flames from the initial impact traveled down the elevator shafts and ignited generators. seems pretty far fetched to me, but i wasn't there, so i couldn't say for sure. bombs seem more plausible, to me.
also- @ mye_725 - i read the entire 9/11 commission report, and it didn't really explain anything. sure, it was really long, and had lots of words, but there wasn't really anything in it that would put any conspiracy theories to rest. (and there's no index, so it's basically worthless for research purposes)

I don't know, but I've never before or since seen a building vaporize as it fell.
