Or so
I've been told by someone who lived on a really bad street in DC
for a
year.
A bomb is just a particular sort of explosion. If something
explodes,
there's a decent chance it'll sound like a bomb.
The most significant accounts of multiple explosions came from
firefighters
inside the WTC. Those are people who know what explosions sound
like. And
unless they thought they were truly significant and not just the
sort of
popping and snapping that accompanies any hot fire, they wouldn't have
reported them on the radio, especially when all hell was breaking
loose.
Firefighters reporting multiple explosions inside the WTC, many
floors away
from the impact, seems very strange.
True, and the fact that huge slabs of marble were blown off the walls
and virtually all of the lobby windows were blown out of the building
-- I realize that an airplane entering a building will create a huge
overpressure, but even the FDNY captain on scene couldn't explain the
lobby damage.
And the huge pools of steel, still molten weeks after the building
came down. What the hell kept it so hot, hotter than any kerosene
fire can possibly get?
And it's not just that people described the plane hitting the tower
as "an explosion", it's the reports -- many of them at the time they
happened -- of "there goes another explosion". There are radio
recordings of lots of firefighters reported "secondary explosions"
throughout the building at various times, and footage of reporters
reacting to explosions way after the both planes had hit.
Something happened on 9/11 other than the official version, and the
price has been the real security of the USA.
