large explosions.
That's fine and reasonable, but there were also witness reports of explosions in less reasonable places, like around the 23rd floor and below, for
example:
Lou Cacchioli, Firefighter in WTC 1: At that point, Cacchioli found one of the only functioning elevators, one only going as high as the 24th
floor ... "Tommy Hetzel was with me and everybody else also gets out of the elevator when it stops on the 24th floor," said Cacchioli,
"There was a huge amount of smoke. Tommy and I had to go back down the elevator for tools and no sooner did the elevators close behind us, we heard
this huge explosion that sounded like a bomb. It was such a loud noise, it knocked off the lights and stalled the elevator.
"Luckily, we weren't caught between floors and were able to pry open the doors. People were going crazy, yelling and screaming. And all the time, I
am crawling low and making my way in the dark with a flashlight to the staircase and thinking Tommy is right behind me. "I somehow got into the
stairwell and there were more people there. When I began to try and direct down, another huge explosion like the first one hits. This one hits about
two minutes later, although it's hard to tell, but I'm thinking, 'Oh. My God, these bastards put bombs in here like they did in 1993!' [Arctic

"...then somebody said that they saw an airliner go into one of those towers. Then, an hour later than that we had that big explosion from
much, much lower down and I don't know what caused that."

A firefighter testified:
As we were getting our gear on and making our way to the stairway, there was a heavy duty explosion.

Then there was another firefighter that said:
There's a bomb in the building - start clearing out...We got a secondary device in the building

Then there were all the testimonies of basement events, like Mike Pecoraro's, Phillip Morelli's, William Rodriguez's, etc., that I could also
post, that testify to
basement explosions, and heavy-duty ones that seriously damaged the parking garage and a machine shop according to
Pecoraro's testimony. Pecoraro was a stationary engineer in the North Tower. He said he was convinced a bomb had gone off in the basement, that
they'd been bombed like 1993 again.
Then there are the seismic records lined up with the recorded impact time of Flight 175 from time stamps on live TV feeds that show significant spikes
were off from the actual impacts, specifically about ten seconds earlier. This would make sense with testimony like Rodriguez's and Morelli's,
because they both reported two distinct oscillatory/explosive events in the basements very close together.
These things are all harder for me to see as being caused by appliances and etc. exploding in the fires on the higher floors in both buildings.
