There is no need to explosions 'after' a collapse is initiated. At least that is what any CD expert will tell you.

If this was a demolition, you would have seen flashes moving up the tower 'before' the collapse.

Where are the loud noises which are the explosions in any of the videos that can be posted.

An am I incorrect in my assumption that the top was not pulverized completely and had enough energy built up or, was just too heavy and that is what caused the lower floors to collapse?
My opinion is that somewhere around the top few floors after the top portion begin to fall, is that the inner core along with and in combination with the rest of the support system should have been sufficient enough to either do one of the following:
* Prevent lower floors from collapse. Although causing massive damage but not causing collaspe.
* The top section should have toppled off the top and fell separate from the lower section.
My opinion here only now mind you, it should have been the case that the entire tower(s) fell as a result of what amounts to isolated injury to the towers. The section above both impact points I can see falling. But the entire towers? I just can't get my mind around that. Take Care..Mike

Remember the top section would weigh 40,000t+ each floor alone was 1500t without any of the office items, look at the videos of both towers you see the collapse start as the area above the impact point drops as one mass.
What the OP does not seem to realise his super slow mo is BS unless he can prove the videos were filmed at least few hundred+ frames per second then played at normal speeds because if it was not filmed at high speed it shows NOTHING he claims!
Here is the way to film it you can even see the shockwake!!!!

All th OP is doing is slowing down standard speed film that shows nothing!

What your are seeing is a "progressive collapse" - as the top section of building failed it became a giant hammer pounding the lower section
As the top section slammed into floor below it overloaded the supports
causing it to fall in turn to floor below

btw...,talkin' 'bout explosions, look at this clip,
it says all!!!

Since there are videos that prove that they do detonate explosives after collapse initiation, I'll ignore your "before" and just add that numerous firefighters did see low-level, red flashes "going up, down and around" both towers in the lower and middle floors with "popping or exploding sounds".
Just because we can't see them in video doesn't mean all the firefighters that saw them are lying.
Originally posted by wmd_2008
Like I have said before various items in the building could have been making the poping and exploding sounds due to the heat / structural failure of the building components

so using the tactics you guys use

I am simply stating that in this thread there is no evidence in the OP's video that there are explosives.

Also, is no one going to address the issue of UV light emission with NO eyewitness reports.

How after watching that video can you argue against what any sane individual can see is multiple explosions. This is 100% proof of explosions to anyone with an open mind and no agenda. The sun doesnt penetrate dust clouds and what is clearly visible is hundreds of white flashes protruding from the building. Its over the proof is there for all to see, you only have to open your eyes and mind to see it.
