No, I'm not ignoring anything. I'm just - unlike you apparently - sane and can comprehend everything in its proper frame or at least accept help from people who do and make more sense than something a delusional tard wrote up on a blog for insane people.

Where did he say there were no bombs?

A plane hit the building, and a fireball came out of the elevator shaft a few seconds later. It's not unreasonable to assume one caused the other.

By the way, explosives don't create fireballs in real life, they only do that in movie special effects.

Maybe you'll be the first truther to answer this question! What type of bomb is capable of causing severe burns to people yet doesn't blow them to smithereens?

Well I guess what I'm trying to ask is that since truthers know so much that this guy was "in on it" and that's a direct quote from the title of this thread, obviously they must know what this rescue worker got in return for following the evil gov'ts plan. I would be asking the theauthor but he's too much of a coward and ignores every question I ask him.

My original was imprecise. Perhaps I should have said "excepting Mr. Rodriguez who claimed to see effects of a bomb". Instead, I assumed nobody would bother when the intent was so clear. Apparently that was a bad assumption.

How can I minimize that which does not, to the best of my knowledge, exist? I've asked you for examples of such accounts, and I've gotten none. I also remind you, I wasn't the one who claimed they existed in the first place.

It's your turn. Take it or forfeit, makes no difference to me.

well - when you say the explosion comes from kerosine, than you say indirectly, that the explosion does not come from a bomb ...

Feel free to quote, source and put your question in context. I'm only vaguely aware of Willie possibly recognizing a hijacker a few days before the attacks, but I could be wrong.

No, I don't want you to keep going quoting people who don't claim to see a bomb, or effects thereof. I want you to quote people who do.

For example, Stephen Gregory. Here's his quote:

Originally Posted by Stephen Gregory
[Gregory] No. I know I was with an officer from Ladder 146, a Lieutenant Evangelista, who ultimately called me up a couple of days later just to find out how I was. We both for whatever reason -- again, I don't know how valid this is with everything that was going on at that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought -- at that time I didn't know what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.

[Interviewer] Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?

[Gregory] No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw. And I didn't broach the topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don't know if I'm crazy, but I just wanted to ask you because you were standing right next to me. He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them, too. I don't know if that means anything. I mean, I equate it to the building coming down and pushing things down, it could have been electrical explosions, it could have been whatever. But it's just strange that two people sort of say the same thing and neither one of us talked to each other about it. I mean, I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall. I was just standing next to him. I never met the man before in my life. He knew who I was I guess by my name on my coat and he called me up, you know, how are you doing? How's everything? And, oh, by the way did you ... It was just a little strange.
Source (Emphasis added)

This is not someone who even believes, himself, that what he saw was evidence of explosives. As I suspected, you've got nothing at all.

What exactly do the sounds of a building collapsing, burning, debris dropping, steel cracking,jet fuel erupting, etc sounds like for real since that day consisted only of bomb explosions?

For example, Stephen Gregory. Here's his quote:


Source (Emphasis added)

I didn't say he thought it was evidence of explosives. He says he saw "low level flashes" which is consistent with CD. Also on this list of accounts are people who heard, yes heard the sounds of explosions.

Sure, weeks, months, maybe years later, these people were informed of what the source of their initial descriptions were, but as any detective worth his/her salt knows, it's always the first interview which is most important. How people choose to interpret their experience later on is often of little consequence compared to the value of that first, unadulturated account.

I wonder why you didn't finish Gregory's quote, which states,

Quote:
"You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw."

The "low level flashes" are not consistent with anything especially since the collapse did NOT initiate from that location. Most importantly, there are no sounds associated with said flashes.
Quote:

There were people who said they heard, yes heard the sounds of trains, yep, trains. So, what's your point? What nobody states is that they heard, yes heard the sound of the distinct sequence of explosions that always, repeat, ALWAYS accompanies a CD. Add to that the fact that any such sound would have been recorded, yes, actually recorded by the many audio recording devices that were recording that day, yes, during the actual time of said flashes and "explosions." Why do twoofers always have such a huge problem with that?

Here's a few questions you liars regularly ignore:

Do these "bombs" function anything like the shaped charges used by demolition companies? How do random explosions resemble the string of simultaneous explosions characteristic of controlled demolitions? Can we agree that no one--neither rationalist nor conspiracy liar--has EVER heard of anyone reporting a series of explosions followed immediately by the collapse of the building? Why doesn't this FACT end all speculation about explosives in the WTC complex?

How many FF accounts would it take for you to admit that there were reports of synchronized, series of explosions?

Just because you ignore these accounts or toss them off as confused accounts doesn't mean they don't describe precisely, the characteristics of controlled demo.

Stop lying. Absolutely no one reported a series of explosions followed by the collapse of the building. See, that last part is important. In your world, the Impossibly Vast Conspiracy rampages aimlessly, strewing clues all over the landscape while accomplishing nothing. Here on Earth, real people working at real jobs do things for a purpose. Demolition professionals, for instance, set off their charges to bring down buildings. They don't merely enjoy the sounds of explosions. So, it goes something like this: a series of explosions near the base of the building, then the building falls down, AND it isn't supposed to damage any nearby buildings.

Except the accounts say nothing of synchronized explosive devices going off right BEFORE the buildings colapsed.
Except for the fact that none are recorded by any video or audio equipment.
Except that fact that none of the recue workers and firemen think there were explosive devices planted in the buildings and set off to bring them down.

But you know this already. Why do you have to be dishonest about all of this again?

Once again, do you fail to observe analogies?

They don't merely enjoy the sounds of explosions. So, it goes something like this: a series of explosions near the base of the building, then the building falls down, AND it isn't supposed to damage any nearby buildings.
Last time I mentioned that controlled demolitions don't damage near-by buildings the response I got was:

"That these were non-conventional demolitions..."
However, that that's grasping at straws...

Besides, anybody trying to demo the WTC towers from the bottom without having pre-weakened them would have been totally stupid for neglecting the fact that the core columns were given added lateral bracing as the perimeter columns contributes less to that function on the 1st 7 floors.

In controlled demos they actually have this concept of weakening the structure to make it easier to take down, usually removing a significant amount of the building materials in the process. To demolish the buildings in their original state, would have required many thousands of tons of explosive which would need to have been packed somewhere in open office spaces...

You sure about that? You better be sure or else it is you who is the liar.

If 10,000 people reported explosions, it would still NOT prove explosives.

I'm tempted to believe that you don't even recognize Mr. Gregory's comments when quoted in proper context.

Just because you ignore these accounts or toss them off as confused accounts doesn't mean they don't describe precisely, the characteristics of controlled demo.
Even one would be a good start. The point you fail to grasp is that even the witnesses themselves do not believe their experiences are evidence of "controlled demolition." You are working from much lower fidelity information, i.e. their words, occasionally distorted, often from much after the fact. Your feeling about what their words mean cannot trump their feeling. This is exactly what Aldo and Craig are doing with their Pentagon witnesses, and it's equally asinine.

Since you cannot produce a witness who supports your position, and the whole idea of witnesses was brought up by your side in the first place to shore up a complete absence of physical evidence, a rational investigator would drop this matter entirely at this point.

I would agree with Ryan. One would be nice. Now, to clarify, the sequence would be right BEFORE the start of the collapse and not after the collapse was already underway. BTW, "detonators" are not CD explosives. As a point of reference, it would sound like:

Random explosions in the preceding 45 minutes don't count, for obvious reasons. Sounds that could be described as a series of explosions during the collapse don't count, also for obvious reasons.

Vaguely aware? Of something your "friend" that you feel the need to defend has said?

I think you know fine well what he said. If he said it do you think he misspoke?

You're correct. I didn't see it. You are not correct, however, that there are not accounts of syncronized, repetitive, sounds of explosions just before collapse. There are examples of this, you chose to analyze one out of the list I presented. How about the others?

How is molten metal found for weeks after 9/11 characteristic of a controlled demolition?

How is a top down collapse characteristic of a controlled demolition?

How is extensive damage to nearby buildings characteristic of a controlled demolition?

When, in the history of controlled demolitions of buildings has the TNT and/or nitroglycerin used survive the burning of a building for over an hour?

How many? If this was true then there would be thousands of accounts from people who were there. Also on video and audio evidence. No truther has supplied me with any evidence of this. How about you trump them?

Bring it.

Also was Willie misspoken when he claimed his story about the hijacker or was he lying?
