And as I said before, if debris was ejected with enough force horizontally it could still land some distance away. It's one thing to discuss how much force would be required, but it certainly does not 'require a parabolic arc'. If you fire a gun horizontally from the top of the WTC it would go for miles.
As I showed before with the aid of stills, the arc effect is caused by the tower's collapse pulling down on the air above, hence the curvature towards the tower. If you bother watching the video it's pretty obvious, and if you overlay images from the beginning of the collapse with the middle and end you can see it even more clearly.
The crucial mistake you seem to be making is in forgetting that the platform from which the debris was ejected is moving down the whole time, also having to bear in mind that the vacuum caused by the collapsing tower will cause air to be sucked downwards, pulling down the rear of the debris trail and causing the arc effect.
Rick's assumptions seem to be based on a stationary platform from which the debris was ejected for some reason..

follow my instructions when watching the video.
watch ONLY the first 9 seconds of the clip and watch it over and over while concentrating on the core.
between seconds 4 and 5 particularly you can see a ton of them right in the middle of the core.
they most certainly were projectiles and no honest/unbiased person could deny that.
since of course there were many other pieces that we can observe falling straight down....it is a logical conclusion that additional energy was required to force the massive tonnage of projectiles that we can observe having landed 100's of feet away to be sent flying that far. especially since we can
observe them actually flying in the video.

It appears that the building is almost down at that point.

How exactly do those flashes support explosives?
It appears that the building is almost down at that point. Considering the thousands of materials that reflect light, that seems to be the most likely explanation.
Or are you trying to say that the building was brought down with firecrackers?

Maybe you aren't aware, but a lot of explosives put off an energy byproduct of sorts in the form of something called light (and many also put off heat as well! who'd have thought?). That doesn't only include firecrackers, you know.

I'm willing to bet that since people were there and spent many hours a day, there were also bottles of hairspray, cleaning fluid, airfreshener, batteries, computer monitors, fire extinguishers, computer dust spray, and over various other sundries that would also pop due to the heat from the fires.
That's a great find!

You guys realize you're just clutching at a bunch of straws, right? That there is actually a plausible answer here that you're refusing to consider?

Lyte Trizzle that first picture you posted has had some serious editing done to it. The actual unedited pic shows none of the "blobs" of thermite.
