Simple thing is...prove that explosives were not used....
So sir.....could you please prove that explosives were not used.
In the real world those making silly claims have to prove those silly claims, not others disprove them.
It appears in the fantasy world truthers live in things work differently.... however we are in the real world, so things do not work the way you want them to.
Oh, and they blame the Jews!

Was that substance tested? was it confirmed by professional metallurgists? Just how can steel remain molten for weeks and weeks without an external source of heat? How did the eyewitnesses manage to get so close to molten steel and survive without proper safety equipment like those found in actual steel mills? When do explosives create molten steel that remains molten for weeks? You see questions like these should have gone through your head first. Then you should have thought about what else was in that structure that could have created a molten metal. Well we have quite a few things: the batteries from the UPS banks that kept critical electronics going in the event of a power outage. You have two airliners made from aluminum. You have vehicles with plenty of alloys and metals that can melt. What this firefighter is claiming to be molten, more than likely is referring to red hot metals that appeared to be molten. Thermite is not an explosive. Thermite does not remain molten for long after the reaction is complete. So, this should not be used as some sort of an "unexplained question" for a conspiracy to be hung up on.
You posted two videos for "evidence" of explosives used at WTC7. I dont know why you did that when you first posted a video of a firefighter that was repeating the same lines taken from every truther website there is. I brought up the fact that the two videos did no such thing and you were wrong. You demanded that I provide evidence of it and I told you you can find it yourself using ATS search nd 30 seconds of looking. You refused and got snippy when I called you on your BS about researching deeply into these topics. am I missing anything? I offered you where to look to find what I had spoken about and where I got my information from. You refused. So, who is getting uppity and wild? I told you where to go find your answers.
Next time vet your youtube videos first and make sure they are not crap that has been exposed as either hoaxes done by "Truth"ers or videos that do nothing to support your claims. That firefighter? Why was he so quiet for all these years? Is it because he was threatened with death or something? Or is he coming out now to get his 15 mins of fame? I mean really. His quotes are practically word for word taken from the pages of "Truther" websites. i couldnt listen to him long because I felt like I just had someone reading to me from the AEfor911T website. It sounded like someone was paying him to say it. I tell you what, after you go and take me up on my challenge (less than 24 hours now) I will go through that video and tell you every single thing he got wrong. Just because he says "Im a 30 year veteran and now Im retired so Im not afraid" is a load of horsedung. he made so many errors in first words that this whole interview reeks like the Hudson River.
I'll reiterate again, there is so much wrong with the events of 9/11, a couple things I could understand but numerous things I can't. You are desperate to debunk everything being questioned about those events, you can justify it to yourself but it doesn't make the questionable events disappear.

Here is an interesting article that may shed light on just why the pile was so hot for so long:
Iron Burns!
also in regards to molten metal:
Molten Metal
I had come across this years and years ago, and it reminded me of what I had learned back in chemistry class. Iron and steel rust. Rust is a slow form of oxidation. Ever notice when a car burns, it rusts really quickly, while a car that has its paint just stripped to the steel does not rust as quickly? When steel is heated it rusts quicker. However, rust is a form of burning. In fact, if you have a large amount of steel or iron in a giant heap, the heat generated from rust alone can actually pose a fire threat. I can hear you chuckling and scoffing at this notion that this is possible but it is true. If you were to google "Iron ore ship fire rust threat" you will find that there are indeed special rules regarding the transport of iron ore pellets. The heat from the rust can be a serious fire hazard.
You can read about the threats and how they can be mitigated here:
Carefully Ship DRI
Shipping Iron Ore Pellets Safety
DRI
When large amounts of iron rusts, adding water to it may make it worse. This may be a probable reason as to why it remained hot for so long. You had heated steel that ended up being buried, covered with other flammable materials, seawater and regular water pouring onto the steel beams which are rusting, producing more heat, which is kept insulated by the debris and fed by oxygen from cracks, gaps, and openings in the piles. Remember, nearly 30 acres of offices were burning.
I can hear you chuckling and scoffing at this notion
But of course, the "Truth" movement is one step ahead of this fact of life by going one better: Secret ultra explosives with the cutting power of C-4 with the silence of thermite, and long lasting magical pools of molten steel and requiring no cords, no det cord, no blasting caps, no radio transmitters or special transmitters that are specially shielded from random radio frequencies. It just gets sad.
Everything about controlled demolition and everything that they claim about that is 100% BS. Free-fall, molten steel, explosives, basement bombs, thermites, remote controlled planes with bombs and missile pods, etc etc etc

However, that clip originally had the explosion sound in stereo, but ALL the other audio was in mono. The clip got debunked as being a fake, and was rapidly removed from youtube. But it then reappeared on youtube a few days later, but NOW with the explosion in mono.
Do you have any proof of that?

I won't argue with you because I haven't seen the analysis, but my original question still stands. If not an explosion, then what were they reacting to?

It appears truthers were unable to come up with the goods. Again!
o, say, can u see? by the dawn's early light? what so proudly we hailed, at the twilights least gleaming. whose broad stripes and bright stars, throught the perolous night, o'r the rampardes we watched, were so gallently streaming. and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there. o, say, does the star spangled banner yet wave? for the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
