News Conference: No explosives in Van
BERNARD KERIK, NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER:
I just got a confirmation from the Chief of Detectives, he's reach out to the FBI. They have confirmed that someone has been stopped in New Jersey, three men in a van. However, there was no explosives in the van.

In a lot of the videos reports are made of very large and or very loud explosions.

Let's take a look at the hoax. Photo 1: The Van Photo 2: The Van I have uncovered other hoaxed and doctored photos as well.
New York City Officials Address Day's Devastation
Aired September 11, 2001 - 23:30 ET
QUESTION: Were they on the George Washington Bridge as they were heading to New Jersey?
GIULIANI: No, they weren't.
Also, another clarification. We reported about 30 minutes ago a van had been pulled over outside of New York City. We now understand that two or three men are being held for questioning. But as for explosives onboard that van, that has been denied by police officials there in the briefing we just hear.

In all fairness two things spring to mind when I watch the videos you posted.
The first thing is that the collapses themselves are barely audible let alone anything else. They don't seem like the best choice of clips to base any kind of auditory assessment on.
The second thing is that they only contain the exact moments of the collapses.
In my post I spoke of the notion that explosions had been heard up to minutes prior to the collapses and, in some cases, at or around the time of the tower being hit.

Okay, let's take another video of WTC 1 and point out any time lines where demolition explosions are heard.
In my post I spoke of the notion that explosions had been heard up to minutes prior to the collapses and, in some cases, at or around the time of the tower being hit.
Demolition explosives occur within seconds of a collapse, not minutes and the explosions seen as the aircraft hit the WTC buildings were the result of the fuel.
In other words, the van wasn't on the George Washington Bridge and no explosives were found in the vehicle despite the claim of the woman reporter in the video. In other words, her reports were later determined to be false.
I'm sorry but I have to ask. Did you fully read the post of mine that you are responding to? It seems like you have seen the word explosive and simply responded by copy/pasting the same videos and comments that you have done throughout this site.

In reference to your video, your video claimed that a truckload of explosives was found in the vehicle on the George Washington Bridge. However, let's review the rest of the story.

Apparently, you posted the following message:

The "exact moments of collapse," so, I posted anothing video that begins well before WTC 1 collapsed.
This video only shows the period from 30 seconds before collapse and, similar to the others,.. the collapse itself is barely audible so also probably not the best material to make audio assessments on.
The numerous reports of secondary explosions that were made on the day were, as far as I could tell, coming in from around the time of initial impact, throughout the whole time that the towers were still standing and not just isolated to seconds before the collapse.
Every Day in New York Is a New Chance to Get Hit by an Exploding Manhole
New York's manhole incidents are officially out of control: There were 600 alone in the first week of February, and the city averages about 2,100 a year.

Demolition explosives occur seconds before a building collapses, not minutes. That is another indication the explosions had nothing to do with demolition explosives.
So I ask again, what is the relevance of your responses to my initial suggestion?
So possibly there still remains a third option. Could there not have been bombs planted by accomplices of the hijackers that brought down the buildings? Wouldn't this, at the very least, have been a pertinent line of enquiry?
