The "big bang" at WTC7...

I'm looking for some more help. There is a video floating about that shows either a police officer or a firefighter on public telephone, with a couple others standing close to him. Suddenly there's a loud banging noise and the two not on the phone urge him to get off, saying they have to get out of there pronto.

I heard that the sound in this video is fake/added. Can you please point me to the thread where this was discussed, or provide the details here?

Thanks.

I don't think that explosion is fake. But it certainly doesn't result in the building falling. The video lasts long enough to make that clear.

I don't know what causes the loud bang, but my guess is a transformer explosion.

On edit: there is a faked explosion soundtrack added to a video of WTC 2 (the South tower) that's been floating around recently.

gumboot made a very convincing case that it is fake. There's a thread about it somewhere. I'll try and dig it up.

theres actually 2, theres the trinity video with redubbed sound (this is actually from a tv movie about rudy guilliani)

but theres also another one with firefighters close to the base of the tower with a redubbed soundtrack, im not sure of the origin of that, but theres also a thread on it here

I don't know why people would assume that the noise comes from WTC 7 anyway.

Well, because WTC7 was a CD, obviously, cuz ya know, it kinda looked like one. Therefore, where else would "explosion" sounds come from?

I have also heard that explosions were reported in the Windsor Tower fire.

Things in buildings are able to explode. But for all we know, this noise could have been rubble from WTC1 and WTC2 collapsing, falling over or similar.
