We are familiar with many claims of people reporting noises that sounded "like explosions" and similar. I just managed to find this and found it incredibly interesting.
So I pose a question to everyone who believes that noises inside the WTC's were explosive devices.
Does this mean that there were explosive charges going off inside the Empire State Building?
That quote is regarding the 1945 crash of a B25 into the Empire State Building.Unbeknownst to rescuers, when the hoist and governor cables of one of the elevators had been severed, ropes to other cars had been weakened. Nevertheless, the elevators had to be used to transport those severely injured, including Betty Lou Oliver. As the plane hit, Oliver, an elevator operator, was blown out of her post on the 80th floor and badly burned. After receiving first aid, she was put in another car to go down to an ambulance. As the elevator doors closed, rescue workers heard what sounded like a gunshot but what was, in fact, the snapping of elevator cables weakened by the crash. The car with Oliver inside, now at the 75th floor, plunged to the sub-basement, a fall of over 1,000 feet. Rescuers had to cut a hole in the car to get to the badly injured elevator operator.
