well, you can think that, but you are incorrect.
heres a test you can do. go to your local firestation and ask any of them this:
"if you were called to a burning high rise and people were trapped, but there were reports of there being bombs in the building. what is the procedure?"
ask them that as i think thats a fair and balanced question that doesnt lead them in one direction or another.
but seriously, go ask them. i think the answer may suprise you.

Whether or not planes hit the buildings does not pertain to this thread. The people resonsible for destroying the WTC towers clearly had their act together. Theses structures were incredibly strong and required an extraordinary effort to bring them down. There are probably very few people alive today with the know-how to successfully pull off the job. I doubt any of them are participating in this thread. I don't pretend to know the methods used, and likewise seriously question anyone here trying to dismiss the pre-collapse explosions as irrelevant.

also dont forget its not like the explosion in the vid was across the street. the accoustics of the sound passing between all the buildings etc will change the sound.

no.

unknown.

last, id like to offer this for you to consider.
do ANY of you REALLY believe that if the incident commander thought there were active BOMBS in the buildings that even ONE firefighter would have been in there?
honestly?

Why are you asking this question? Police, Fire, and Civilians all reported explosions. Technicaly when something explodes, its concidered a bomb. Same thing, get it?

i have TRAINED with guys that WERE THERE on 9-11 and were also part of the rescue ops for days afterwards. how many guys that were there have you bought beers for huh?

And then throw in the fact that it was an extraordinary event in which this happened where our country clearly seemed to be under attack. An aggressive military style attack and find out what their reply is going to be.
Any old building on fire will not garner the same response as a supposed terror attack. It's a matter of patriotism and duty at that point and I guarantee you that the majority of those men and women would do it again in a heartbeat regardless of what they were told about the danger involved, bombs or not.
It's just not the same my friend.
