Conspiracy Theory #1: The World Trade Centers were destroyed by explosives, as a result of Controlled Demolition, in the basement and plane impact areas. Firefighters heard explosives going off. The WTCs' fell symmetrically. A remote detenator was used.
1a: This would be impossible since there were people in the basement at the time, William Rodrigez, FDNY firefighters and NYPD police officers were very much alive at the time and so were French cameramen filming. Explosives in the plane impact areas would not have survived the nearly 1 hour of burning time. They would have detonated after an immediate fire and the primacords would've been severed or rendered useless by the planes impact. William Rodrigez, a janitor in WTC1, was in Basement Level 1 with his supervisor, at the time Flight 175 impacted the building and heard nothing. He did not say anything about ever seeing an explosive device in the basement or one going off there. No "controlled demolition" occured, and that theory has no evidence to support it. A controlled demolition starts at the bottom to the top, not the top to the bottom. Plus the fires that raged inside both towers would've set the demolition prematurely, causing the towers to fall sooner than later. But the towers fell later, about 1 hour later, by the extreme fires that raged to soften the steel and causing the bolts and rivets to pop, the fires inside the towers reached between 1,300*F to about 2,000*F, well below the 2,600*F+ heat to melt steel. Maybe that's why Truthers rely on the "explosive" theory because of the steel snapping at certain places when the building collasped.
Explosive shape charges leave behind copper when exploded. Not a single piece of WTC steel that was looked at had any type of copper residue on the columns. The "controlled demolition" theory can't exist because elements don't exist to confirm that 9/11 was an "Inside Job". The FDNY firefighters heard what represented explosives. They heard things exploding inside offices that would be combustible in an office, such as: TV's, computer monitors, electrical wiring, coping machines, furniture, ect. Another possible explosive sound they heard would've been the fuel tanks for the generators, the bolts and rivets holding the outter and inner columns popping from the collaspe. The Twin Towers didn't fall "symmetrically", the outter columns fell out and away from the buildings while the floors and inner columns fell almost inside the building. The buildings surrounding the 16 acre site were damaged by the Towers collapse, indicating that they didn't fall symmetrically.
A remote detenator wouldn't have worked either, because they rely on radio frequencies and there's too many radio frequencies that could set off an explosive prematurely. Controlled Demolitions Expert, Brent Blanchard, who was at Ground Zero, didn't see detenation cords or copper residue on the inner and outter columns of the Twin Towers within the debris. Proving that the claim for Controlled Demolition is a fairy story.
