One of us is deluded?
Maybe it's the one claiming the buildings were full of explosives.
There is no rational behind the theory.
The plumes coming out on the floors below the debris below are caused by dust/air being pushed down the lower elevator shafts (not all of the elevator shafts went to the top of the towers) and out of open windows.
Just think about what % of the buildings volume is just air, that air has to go somewhere during the collapse.
And even if you believe that the building was brought down in a complex controlled demolition floor by floor by explosives, why would there also be another set of random explosions a dozen floors below the "controlled explosions"?
The theory debunks itself. And this guy is using if to make himself some easy money from idiots that believe it.

I don't know. Maybe they are there to put out wacko theories so that valid questions are grouped along with 'no planes, holograms, and aliens'.

OK pretty convincing, but I still don't understand how people say a plane never hit the towers.

You guys see what you want to see.
The WTC Tower frame design was a inner cage with in an outer tube, with a gap in between them is where the floors were suspended. None of these parts could have stood on their own they relied on each other to make the whole tower ridged.
During the collapse the debris pushed the floors down between the cage and the tube, with those floors removed the outer tube is pushed away horizontally and it then falls apart because it has lost all its rigidity and cannot stand up on its own.
So all you are seeing in this video is the debris pushing the floors down between the framework of the tower faster than the outer tube is breaking apart.

Do you think that explosion sounds would be picked up from the distance all the videos were filmed from, above the roar of falling concrete, rending steel etc.?
Yes.
Have you ever seen a controlled demolition live? You can hear the explosions from miles away.
The sound of the collapse can't cover them because if you're saying the explosives started the collapse you should hear them going off before the collapse even starts.
There are videos from all sorts of angles, and there are no sounds of explosions during the collapse at all.
There is no such thing as magic silent explosives.
It's a massive blindingly obvious hole in the whole theory
