re: Annual 9/11 Thread - 18 Years Later

There are additional rational explanations of the cause of explosions reported by survivors. To be clear again, I'm not saying that these were controlled explosions and part of an "inside job" like wacko conspiracy theorists suggest.


Explosions coming out the windows of the towers are indications of an explosive demolition[edit]
Rebuttal: What happens when you squeeze a concertina? These side-jets of air and dust were not really explosions as such but debris being expelled from the buildings as the floors pancaked on top of each other. There is a lot of air in a quarter-mile-tall office building, and when compressed it has to go somewhere.
Add to that, the Twin Towers were full of water in water mains, toilets, sinks, and beverage machines. Water heated to boiling temperatures expands violently, and if contained, it expands explosively. Water has a high heat capacity which usually precludes rapid heating to boiling temperatures, but the heat of burning jet fuel will force water to heat rapidly to boiling that causes explosions of such objects as unopened soft-drink cans or whiskey bottles. Such explains many of the explosions that survivors heard.

There are also claims that back up electrical generators which held hundreds of gallons of fuel, added to the explosions heard in lower levels of the WTC.
