Red, the issue here seems not to be if "explosions" were heard, but when they were heard and what they sounded like. Considering the fact that every controlled demolition is preceded by a large number of concurrent bangs or explosions, can you point to any video where we can hear these CD-like explosions?
A few pops and bangs prior to the collapse doesn't prove a CD. They have to be at the right time and sequence to be causal.
No, they didn't. That's the spin you put on it.My point is that many FDNY personnel described what they saw and heard as being consistent with CD.
that is your words. not theirs, Red. You still have a problem with similes
I don't have any problem with similes. Nearly any eyewitness interview is going to include them.
You have a problem with the specificity of these accounts. If the entire underpinning of this debate is that these people used the word "like", you must have no idea how overused that word is in common language. Talk about semantics.
No, they didn't. That's the spin you put on it.
None of those guys think they heard demo charges that day.
So, then, there must be a firefighter who swallows the fantasy movement's snake oil. Who might that perosn be?
Ron, without rancor, try and answer this question:
Why did so many FDNY personnel (not that we have to limit the accounts to them) initially think that bombs, secondary devices, or other explosive devices were in the towers and what they were seeing was the result of controlled demolition?
For just a moment, let's forget about what they later did or didn't come to believe (I've yet to see a thorough list of accounts all of which dismiss any alternative explanation) and focus on what they initially thought.
My point was not whether these sounds were captured on video. My point is that many FDNY personnel described what they saw and heard as being consistent with CD.
No, they said they heard "explosions".
NOBODY that day said they heard explosions that were "consistent with CD".
NOBODY.
You sure about that?
It's amazing Red just completely ignored my question on whether or not he talked to any of these firefighters.
Something tells me he knows he's lying and doesn't want to verify it.
That's begging the question, I honestly don't know how to make anything clearer. Usually people don't have planes crashing into buildings.. Therefore people in the area might initially have assume that they were bombs causing the explosions.... the confusion between 'plane', 'explosions', and 'explosives' in a situation like that seems like it'd be a well expected reaction by people who were there.
Some personel weren't even aware that a plane hit initially... so the next thing they associated the noises with was bombs... but association as we all have been telling you time and time again does not always equate to bombs or a CD... you kep taking the stuff out of context and too literally... intentionally or not...

This gambit has nothing to do with widely available initial accounts.
