The air rushing out from the collapse is whats causing the debris to feather outward.

.....rather than just blowing up through the dust, or out of the floors immediately below the collapse? Forty stories of concrete verses atomized dust? Path of least resistance, it's kind of a law.

And maybe, just maybe, they are demolition squibs as part of false flag operation to justify a military campaign in Afghanistan and Iraq to secure energy resources to maintain the largest and most powerful empire in the modern world.
Do you guys really think our elected representatives are above that level of planning and criminal intent? Maybe they are (snicker), but the intelligence community and their less than savory international counterparts sure as hell aren't, they do this kind of thing in other countries damned near daily.

Sorry, but IMO, those absolutely are demolition squibs unless there were special conduits built in the building to allow this compressed air to vault out in specific locations like that. The compressoin of that air was so forceful it blew out of a specific location forty stories below the collapse rather than just blowing up through the dust, or out of the floors immediately below the collapse?

OK, if these are demolition squibs, why are they in those places?

The whole the plane made was not sufficient for it to collapse for nearly an hour, so what is that tiny explosion going to do?

Cut a support beam. Do you know what squibs are? I'm not trying to be facetious, but if you don't, squibs are placed explosive ('that tiny little explosion') to cut or blow out support structures. No that tiny little explosion isn't going to do anything, but a number of well placed tiny little explosions is what we call a controlled demolition.

I have seen demolition and they have a lot more squibs in critical locations.

Did you look at the picture in my post above? Notice you see only two squibs?
Are going to try and tell us that's compressed air too?
And again the squibs are hidden under the collapse wave, the ones you can see are going off too soon, out of sequence. It happens in controlled demos, as the pic I posted shows quite clearly don't you think?

Don't worry, I know what one is, but the entire facade of the WTC was the support structure, as well as the core, so I can't see why something that destroys one beam is going to be useful even destroying all of them, when the top is already coming down fast and likely to crush everything in its path anyway.

Yea I looked at your pic of controlled demo it has about 7 or 8 squibs.
But guess what? They are all on the same floor, thats because its controlled demo.
edit: and yea im trying to tell you its compressed air
