at the beginning sure. But then the eyewitnesses got a "special treatment".
Firefighter Terence Rivera: QUOTE As I got off the back -- the back step, there were a few individuals that were civilians that were outside that were burnt. There was a -- he wasn't a regular security guard. He had a weapon on him. I don't know if he was FBI or Secret Service and he was trying to put the pants out on one individual that was conscious. His pants were still smoldering. I took the can, fire extinguisher off the truck and then sprayed down the pants on the person that was still conscious. At that time, I had asked him where did this individual come from. He told me when the plane had hit, a fire ball had shot down the elevator shaft and had blown people out of the lobby. (Source) How is this possible, that in the middle of the chaos some FBI or Secret Service could give such explanations? How could it be, in a time when it was unclear if this was a small plane or a jet-airliner. "At that moment many thought of bombs in the basement, even the FBI. Did the Secret Service man think that this was an airplane accident and hence there could be no bombs in the basement? Certainly not, if we follow Rivera's account, who was heading to get a supply line to work:" QUOTE „Sometime while we were doing that, that same individual that was -- when we first got there, that was trying to put the pants out, he came over and he is saying to us that it's a terrorist attack. You guys are too close. It's a terrorist attack.“ The question then would be how the Secret Service man knew that there couldn't be bombs in the basement if they were under attack by terrorists." from http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Ch...pic=18745&st=0 |

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. |

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. |

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:

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?

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,

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.

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? |

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... |

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

That excerpt is contained in my quote. Right after the Interviewer's bit. Read more carefully.
I'm tempted to believe that you don't even recognize Mr. Gregory's comments when quoted in proper context. 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:
I think you get the picture. |

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? ETA to add link http://web.archive.org/web/200612210...p-175130c.html |

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? |
