Oddly, she believed that there were explosives in the base of the towers, which is a theory I had never heard before.

It's not a theory. It is a fact as reported by many witnesses, and the physical damage to the lobby, the parking garage, the machine shop, etc.
The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone.
“There was nothing there but rubble, “Mike said. “We’re talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press – gone!” The two began yelling for their co-workers, but there was no answer. They saw a perfect line of smoke streaming through the air. “You could stand here,” he said, “and two inches over you couldn’t breathe. We couldn’t see through the smoke so we started screaming.” But there was still no answer.
The two made their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. “There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor, and you can’t see anything” he said.

OSers used to claim it was jet fuel that shot down the elevator shafts, and exploded in the lobby.

That has never changed, It was jet fuel.

No it couldn't, unless you can present some evidence that that is possible then you need to drop this nonsense.
What ignited the fuel, once it entered the lobby area?
How did the fuel escape the initial explosion of the, wait for it, jet fuel?
Are there any witnesses to this? Any evidence at all?
First off fuel does not 'explode', it does not create a massive blast that can destroy a 50t hydraulic press that weighed about 500lbs.
Sorry bud but we need truth here, not assumptions and excuses.
Jet fuel running down shafts and igniting is a very far fetched assumption, that would require indisputable evidence for anyone with common sense to believe that.

If you really want to make that claim you better have a good explanation as to how that actually worked mate, because nobody but the clueless would ever buy that.
explosions were heard prior to the plane impact by william rodriquez but i suppose you os ppl will just call him deluded and mistaken

In the drawing below we have Flt11 in the moment before impact. The dark blue represents the jet fuel, the light blue represents the 19500 cu ft of air that was contained in the cabin. The plane was travelling at 720 fps at the time.
When Flt 77 impacted it shot this volume of air through the tower in a little over a quarter of a second. In order to do this it would have to displace the static air inside the building and push it's way through. As the air passed through it would have had a high pressure in front of it and a low pressure be hind it. Notice it is pointed right through the maze of elevator shafts and AC ducts.The shaft marked 50 is the one that goes all the way down to the basement
The high pressure would have blown out the walls and doors on that floor and sent a momentary high pressure pulse down and up the elevator shafts. Next the air passing over the shafts followed by the low pressure behind it would have drawn a large volume of air out of the shafts leaving a low pressure. This low pressure would have drawn in a large volume of the now abundant atomised jet fuel both up and down the shafts.( there were jet fuel explosions in the top of tower 1). The fuel ignited and expanded in the confines of the shafts sending a fire ball up and down the shafts. These fire balls erupted in the top of the world restaurant, the mechanical floors, the lobby, and the basement. All of these floors are where the elevator shafts and ac ducts end.
Below is a news paper photo showing the exterior of the mechanical floors. There were air vents all the way around the building on the mechanical floors.
Below is the third photo in a series of the impact of Flt 11, a red arrow points to the jet fuel explosion exiting the mechanical floor.
A gif of the three photos The photos are about one second apart.
In tower 2 fires were reported in the shafts but no explosions. The reason for this is, the air in the plane missed the core so there were no large amounts of fuel drawn in to the shafts and ignited.
Truthers say jet fuel doesn't explode, that is true, but gunpowder is also not an explosive. If you light gunpowder it just burns. Gunpowder needs to be contained (pipe bomb) or focused (gun barrel) in order to explode. In the case of the jet fuel the elevator shafts focused the expanding gasses towards the ends of the elevator shafts creating the explosion.
As a side note, many welders have been killed trying to cut the top of an empty 55 gal fuel drum with a torch. Yes it exploded.
I wont post all of the statements and video of the burn victims here. You have seen them I'm sure.
The only reasonable explanation that fits all the evidence is jet fuel in the elevator shafts.
There were no bombs in the basement.
