EVIDENCE OF EXPLOSIVES IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER COLLAPSES.

Evidence of Explosives In The World Trade Center Twin Tower Collapses.

The evidence that the World Trade Center towers were demolished is compelling. Photographs of explosives detonating during the collapse of both the north and south towers are presented below. They are taken from two (publicly available) videos of the collapses. Each frame has been numbered by its position in the video. Both videos were filmed at 30 frames per second, so an eight frame interval covers about one quarter of a second.

The most remarkable aspect of the World Trade Center towers demolition, is that such obvious evidence of the use of explosives, has been completely ignored by the media. This refusal to report the obvious, clearly illustrates that the "free press" is free, only in name, and anything but free in reality.

That such obvious evidence of explosives has remained "hidden in full view" approaches the unbelievable.

The South Tower.

The video evidence that the World Trade Center towers were demolished is indeed compelling. Consider the following frames which show two distinct lines of explosives detonating across the east face of the south tower.



Frame 147 shows a row of explosives detonating right across the east face at the 79th floor.
Frame 203 shows a row of explosives detonating right across the east face at the 75th floor.

The middle photos show the dust cloud from the explosions outlined in red.

The end photos show the relative positions of the two lines of dust and debris.

It has been claimed that the explosions of dust that span the east face of the tower, were caused by air being forced from the windows as the floors above collapsed. This explanation is obviously incorrect. If it was correct, such lines of dust would have been expelled from the windows of each floor in succession. That is, we would have seen such lines of dust expelled from floors 79, 78, 77, 76 and 75 in succession, but what we observe is an explosion of dust at floor 79, no new clouds of dust for a few floors, then another (larger) explosion of dust at floor 75.

The second line of explosives is much more powerful than the first, but the dust cloud from the first line of explosives, and the dust and debris from the upper floor collapse, initially obscure this.

The dust due to the visible explosions is a whitish grey. The dust from the demolition of the upper section (which is disintegrating as it falls) is dark grey. One wonders what caused this difference.



In the video, it is clear that the top 30 or so floors have snapped off and are toppling eastward. In the above frames, we follow the north-east corner of the tower as this 30 floor section descends. Using the north-east corner as a reference, I have outlined in red, the progress of this 30 floor section as it descends.

The first thing to note, is that the top section itself must be disintegrating, otherwise (as the above frames show) the top section would have extended far into parts of the building that are clearly, as yet, unaffected by the collapse.

But what could possibly cause the top section to disintegrate? And in fact, what could possibly cause the top section to almost entirely disintegrate, before the lower section begins to collapse?

You have to realize that most of the top section had not been affected by the aircraft strike or fires and was thus still the same immensely strong structure that had supported the building for some 30 years. If this section was going to fall at all, this section would fall as one piece (like a tree in the forest). Unless, of course, this section had been laced with explosives and was undergoing a controlled demolition of its own, just a few moments before the lower part of the building was demolished.



The North Tower.



In the following set of frames showing the North Tower collapse, pay close attention to the horizontal explosions of dust and debris that occur just above the red line marked on the above photograph.



Once again, note that the second layer of explosions is much more powerful than the first and that the dust cloud from the first initially obscures that of the second. Also, note the large orange areas of hot gas from the explosions. Recall, that this was about two hours after the aircraft struck the building, so there would be essentially no flammable material left on the floors from which the flash emanates (as the fire would have already consumed it all).

Note that the horizontal explosions of dust on the leftmost side of the tower are already visible and expanding in the first frame. These continue their expansion through frame nine and subsequent frames. Similarly, explosions of dust become apparent across the entire width of both (visible) faces of the tower, however, between frames 001 and 009 the television mast on top of the tower makes no downward movement at all. This shows that the horizontal explosions of dust and debris precede the collapse and thus cannot be the cause of it (in fact, it is these explosions that initiate the collapse).



That the horizontal explosions of dust precede the collapse is vividly expressed by the above animated graphic which alternates the first and ninth frames. This clearly shows that the explosions of dust were not caused by air being forced from the windows as the floors above collapsed (this was a ridiculous assertion anyway).

Since the visible evidence points to only two layers of explosives per tower, one has to conclude that the aircraft were directed to hit particular floors (possibly by homing beacons in the towers). This would also explain the total lack of solid evidence for the "Arab hijackers" hypothesis (there was however, a quantity of laughable, obviously manufactured evidence, indicating that this was an attempt to frame the Arabs).

Of course the visible explosions (or at least their dust clouds) are only part of the story, as the main weight supporting columns in the central core also had to be weakened before the towers would collapse in the way they did. But what is visible, is more than enough evidence, to conclude that the towers were deliberately demolished.



The above animated graphic alternates the first and 67th frames. It shows a classic controlled demolition of a 12 story building (the top 12 stories of the North Tower). Strange how the roofline collapses so evenly, I guess, that all the central core columns and all the perimeter wall columns collapsed simultaneously. Some coincidence eh?

The first line of explosives detonated across the 98th floor (where the collapse began). The second line of detonations occurred across the 92nd floor (just above the lower red line) with large flashes of hot gas from the explosions, clearly visible. Initially, the second line's detonation is obscured by the dust cloud of the first. However, being much more powerful detonations, the second line's dust cloud quickly bursts into view.

A close look at the video/photos shows that the collapse begins at the 98th floor, then the 99th floor collapses onto the 98th, then the 100th floor collapses onto the 98th, then the 101th floor collapses onto the 98th, then the 102th floor collapses onto the 98th, etc until the second line of detonations initiates the final collapse. So once again, we have the disintegration of the tower above the impact floors, before the collapse of the tower below the impact floors.

Interestingly, this observation disproves the so called pancake theory, where one floor collapses onto the next lower floor, causing that floor to also collapse (not that the pancake theory made any sense anyway). Here, what we see is 5 or 6 floors in a row, all falling onto the 98th floor, which does not collapse (until the second line of explosives are detonated, taking out its support). The pancake theory would have the 98th floor collapsing onto the 97th, causing that to collapse onto the 96th, causing that to collapse onto the 95th, etc.

These very strange circumstances, mentioned above, have a very simple explanation: The twin towers were deliberately demolished. Occam's razor, suggests that the simplest explanation, a deliberate demolition, is probably also the correct explanation.

I see that no one wants to hear that the towers were deliberately demolished, even though it is obvious.

Maybe because it is obvious.

Or maybe it's that nobody believes you but are too polite to just come out and write it. I'm usually polite, but never THAT polite. Your post is bunk.

It is absolutely obvious that explosives were used to get the result we all say. It is amazing how buiding NO.7 also went down the same way as the twin towers. It was 47 stories high and it just went down the same way, maybe some invisible aircrafts hit it!!!
Thanks Truth for show casing for all those who had any doubt about the falsehood promoted officially.

You are either an idiot or you are a liar. I think less of liars than idiots so I'll assume you are the former. That assumption, of course, makes this post moot. Still, I'm bored, so I did it anyway.

Get a job, or a life, or a clue. Nobody with any sense believes you. I can understand you wanting those without any sense to follow you. Kingdoms are built on such loyalty. What I don't understand is why you follow them.

Oh, yea, I forgot. I assumed the former.

Robert Espy,
You certainly are rude, maybe another arrogant arse wipe. It is you who sounds idiotic. This happens to be a discussion forum and it is meant for a dialogue. Who the f# do you think you are to negate what you feel is right or wrong, it is for other to judge. Maybe you do not see the obvious and I would not like to respond to your diatribe any further.

Really? Maybe you're right. After all, I'm not even an "award wineer".

That's true. Your claims remain as untrue, so far as I can tell.

Robert Espy is an arrogant arse wipe.

I would not have stated it so strongly, but yes he is.

The problem with idiots like Robert Espy is that they never argue facts, they just yell and scream.

Rational discourse seems very foreign to them.

Note that Robert Espy has not challenged any of the statements made in the main article or even managed to quote any of them.

All he has done is yell and scream.

Perhaps people like Robert Espy do not have the intellectual ability to form opinions of their own and then to rationally discuss their ideas with those who view the same facts differently. I guess we will find out, but do not expect too much from Robert Espy.

Truth,

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Provide the math supporting your claims. Until you do so, I'll keep you in the King Witness compound where I keep all my little idiot liars.

Oh, BTW, Occam's Razor applies.

Turkey: Occam's razor" suggests that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation is most likely to be correct.

The simplest explanation for the very strange behavior of the three World Trade Center buildings that collapsed on September 11, is that they were demolished.

End of story.

Robert Arsewipe,
Are you a fired english prep class teacher to make judgements based on how others spell zenglish language, failing to understand what is being discussed. Go run fast enough in a circle to screw yourself. It is pathetic arseholes like you that are responsible for a lot that is wrong in Robers world.

You give no evidence or reasoning for your prejudicial statement at all. It's nothing but stupid name-calling.

You won't convince anyone genuinely seeking the truth, if all you have to offer is such prejudicial idiocy. Don't even bother wasting your time. The arguments and evidence for explosives in the destruction of the WTC still stands.

To me it seems obvious that 911 was an inside job, because of who was capable of carrying it out and who has subsequently benefitted and of course all those wierd anomolies.

But was it a controlled explosion? If you wanted them to fall to have maximum impact and maybe to destroy evidence, then it would make sense to do it, and not too difficult to set up assuming it was an inside job.

Along with the evidence listed above there is the following points to bear in mind, and that's... the temperature wouldn't have been high enough to melt the structure and there was a seismic spike recorded that occured just before they fell.

So i'd be inclined to suspect that it was an explosion.

Yes it was a controlled explosion,... in fact THREE of them (and it is absolutely obvious).
