If all of the buildings were brought down by explosives then why in the world did they use the planes. It makes no sense. All the planes do is create more of a chance for them to get caught. There was no need for the planes if they were going to bring the buildings down with explosives.

But the firechiefs statements contridict the official story in a lot of areas, specially what was said on the phone with Silverstein.
Who said anything about fire depts placing explosives? They had demo teams on the scene.

Care to explain WHY we see this !

There was NO sound of demo charges going off. I dont care how many times you say, see the smoke? See the way it fell? Its a demo! No its not. There wre NO detonations heard prior to any movement.

Why should all the windows break? They broke in the area where the "kink" developed, when the transfer truss failed. That is where the most deformation to that side of the building occurred, hence why we see the break in that area.

But they all did break once the tower hit the ground.

If there were "squibs" why were they NEVER HEARD by anyone prior to collapse? All demolitions have the series of detonations (sharp, distinct cracks in a rapid progression which can be heard very far distances and would be unmistakeable) first, and THEN the building begins to collapse.

Noiseless? We have gone over this to death. More than enough real people with real names have been listed discussing hearing explosions. Why do you keep reverting to a default position like this after being shown how fallacious it is over and over?
--------
Did anyone see demolitions that caused the collapse? Are any of the loud noises, which may be explosions or collapsing parts, causal? The position is not fallacious; the witnesses reported what they heard and described it as best they could.

Loud noise does not mean explosion and explosion does not mean demolition.

.It also took about 23 seconds for total collapse:

Stop avoiding the question !
I asked how they rig a building the size of WTC 7 without all of New York
knowing it
Consider that no building that size was ever demolished by explosives
SO HOW WAS IT DONE?

Statements amongst the parties involved in great tragedies or traumatic experiences such as 9/11 that have some contradictions in them are not only normal, but pretty much are the NORM.
Now, in general, from what I have read as far as statements by fire fighters and fire chiefs, I don´t see that many contradictions really.
They were pretty much aware (most of them) that the building was badly damaged and compromised structuraly.
To that, we must add, that they didn´t have much they could do to fight the fires in there.
OK. So, what you are implying is that demo teams came and went into WTC 7, placed some special type charges and had the building demolished??
