You might want to check your facts there.
This Michael Hess he was inside the building with Jennings. Hess very clearly states " No Explosions ".
When they reached the sixth floor, however, there was a powerful explosion beneath them, which, Jennings told the makers of "Loose Change: Final Cut," caused the landing on which they were standing to give way. Making their way back up to the eighth floor, they were able to break a window and call for help. Hess later reported: "We were trapped on the eighth floor with smoke, thick smoke, all around us, for about an hour and a half before the New York Fire Department . . . came and got us out."
Hess had made this statement while being interviewed by Frank Ucciardo of UPN 9 News "on Broadway about a block from City Hall," which was several blocks from WTC 7. This interview began before noon.
As to the exact time, it has been believed that it began at 11:34. This belief has been based on the fact that, according to writing on a DVD containing UPN 9 programs from that morning, the programs contained on the video had begun at 10:37 AM. The Hess interview begins at the 57-minute mark, which would have been 11:34.
Further research, however, showed that the video actually started at 11:00. The crucial evidence is that, at the 111-minute mark, the UPN 9 program switched to live CNN coverage of a Taliban news conference, which began at 12:51,and 111 minutes prior to 12:51 would be 11:00. The Hess interview, as we saw, began at the 57-minute mark, so it began at 11:57.
In any case, UPN 9's interview of Hess began before noon.
This fact is important, because NIST---the National Institute of Standards and Technology---which provided the official explanation of the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, claimed that Hess and Jennings were not rescued until after noon. In its "Interim Report on WTC 7", which was published in 2004, NIST claimed that the two men were rescued at "12:10 to 12:15 PM." But if Hess was being interviewed several blocks away from WTC 7 before noon, that claim is impossible.

I imagine if you were inside a 1,000 foot tall building and a jumbo jet slammed into it, what would you think happened? If you were in the lobby and a massive elevator car fell 500 feet and hit the ground, that might make a pretty big bang.
We cannot just say "well, this guy said he heard explosions" and use it as evidence of inside job just because we want to prove our theories. We have to be willing to look at it objectively and ask what else it could have been.
I agree 100%. Generally when I'm trying to form a hypothesis about these events, the first way I explain the "explosions" is by falling elevators. My latest theory is that multiple elevators fell simultaneously, but at slight different intervals so that the end result is that they hit the ground floor a few seconds apart in precision. Everyone knows falling elevators sound like explosions to the untrained ear.

The BBC reported building 7s collapse early, not tower 1 or 2. That's the facts both you and he need to get strait.

While I do believe that 9/11 was the handiwork of our own government, I can't help but often wonder if some of what people thought were explosions were the sound of jumpers as they made impact.
No disrespect, but they made a hell of a loud boom when they would hit.
I have personally spoken to a firefighter who was on the pile, as they got deeper to some crazy roaring fire, suddenly a good hundred military walked in , pointed machine guns at them and forced them to stop.

There is so much evidence out there that it is insane (that we are being lied to)....absolutely insane....now I can buy that terrorists actually hit the towers....maybe they let it happen or were working with some kind of double agents and let this one pass but there is no f ing way the official story is truth. One of my favorite parts is the terrorists pass port found in some rubble in near perfect shape....must be the greatest passport ever made!
