so under normal fire conditions
we don't have building collapse in fact
uh until 9 11 i was unaware
of any protected steel structure that
had collapsed
anywhere in the world
the collapses of the twin towers and
building number seven
had to have been examples of controlled
demolition
brought about by thousands of explosives
placed throughout each of the buildings
it was a heavy-duty explosion secondary
explosions and then subsequent collapses
we've heard reports of secondary
explosions after the aircraft impacted
the explosion blew and knocked everybody
over there was a third explosion
many people in the building said that
they saw they felt or
heard explosion tell us what's happening
out there
we just witnessed some kind of secondary
uh follow-up explosion on the
world trade center number two the one
secondary second building that was hit
by the plane has just completely
collapsed
the entire building has just collapsed
as if the demolition team
set off when you see the old demolitions
of these old buildings
and it is not there anymore do you know
if it was an explosion or if it was a
building collapse
to me it sounded like it to me it
sounded like
an explosion there was another major
explosion the build the building itself
literally the top of it came down
sending smoke and debris everywhere
there has just been a
huge explosion there was a cascade of
sparks and fire
and now this it looks almost like a
mushroom cloud explosion this huge
billowing smoke in the second tower this
was the second of the two towers hit
i cannot see behind that smoke obviously
as you can either
john just seconds ago there was a huge
explosion and it appears right now the
second world
train tower has just collapsed the
debris and the smoke is so
thick where i am that uh again you
cannot see the world trade center even
though we're just a few
blocks away you said it sounded like the
fourth of july you heard a big explosion
before the building fell
i saw it as it was happening and it
sounded as if
you had a hundred black cat firecrackers
and you lit them all off at once that's
what it sounded like it sounded like the
finale of the fourth of july
over the east river
we've got please i saw the pockets of
fire we should
[Music]
[Applause]
surrounding the entire area
this is as close as we can get to the
base of the world trade center you can
see the firemen assembled here the
police officers fbi agents
and you can see the two towers a huge
explosion now raining debris on all of
us
it's unreal this is a [\h__\h] sick movie
