I have no doubt there were explosions but I don't believe there were bombs "downstairs" exploding. The reason is that the buildings fell from the top down and not the bottom up so bombs at the bottom wouldn't have done anything.
It is a known fact that in order to implode a building, the supports need to be cut, angled inward. This would be true whether imploding top down or bottom up, because either way, the angle needs to be focused inwards.
And?
I can't answer your hypothetical question as I cannot read the mind of the firefighter.
Tsk, tsk. Implying the firefighter is lying. I roll my eyes.
Because all firemen are good people who never do anything wrong. I roll my eyes right back.
Now as to calling me a "blind patriot". Look at my avatar and comments below. Obviously I'm not a blind patriot. In fact, I believe this particular administration to be the most corrupt in our nations history. That being said, there's no evidence to support they planned and executed 9/11. If there were, I would not only be on the band wagon, but driving it !!!
Hmmmm. Maybe the problem is that you have difficulty identifying the plethora of issues that, if one takes the view that it was an inside job need no explanation, but if it WASN'T an inside job either have no explanation or the probability of the occurrence is astronomical - and with multiplicity of such improbabilities stacked, become virtual impossibility.
[shrug] Sorry you have that difficulty.
What a useless paragraph This is me rolling my eyes again

You really need me to spell this out for you. Maybe I overestimated your skills at reasoning... How does one weaken and cut supports? With cutter charges and explosions.

That's because this was planned for a long time. We have seen videos of the terrorist 'training camps' all around the Middle East. These guys were fanantical, rabid and dedicated.
And, they practiced and rehearsed...third world commandos aren't as stupid as you would hope to believe.
Second, flights were selected because of their particularly low passenger count...easier to control. Control accomplished by fear...fake bombs, and one report of mace or pepper spray. NOT allowed on airplanes, but lax security, bored screeners, on that day at least one was overlooked. And, if it had been discovered, it would have been taken away, and the guy sent onwards.

I read in demolitions the basement is blow out so some of the rubble falls into it...But either way, we have so many witnesses that said they saw/heard or were physically affect by it.

Yes and charges are exploded sequentially from the top down, not from the bottom up or randomly first lower then upper levels.
Apparently you're missing ALL my posts where I indicated that I believed they heard explosions. So let me restate that I believe they heard explosions. So when I said that I believe they heard explosions, I mean I believe they heard explosions. Ok get that part?
I just don't believe the explosions were part of a sequential/non-sequential demolition.
You mean deluded?

" All I'm saying is I don't think the explosions were from planted bombs. There would be no need if the whole building was already wired in sequence. "
You're entitled to your opinion, but how do you know it would not need other explosions to do the deed if it was already wired?
Ever read what William Rodriguez had to say? He worked there! He survived it! He got decorated for his bravery! His testimony was OMITTED from the commission report.
www.911keymaster.com...
Ever watch the new jersey video from across the river, where you could hear the explosions prior to the collapse?
Ever watch the you tube vids where the people on the street talk about the explosions they heard and felt?
Personally, it looks to me like you did not do your homework.

In a conventional implosion, yes. This was not a conventional situation. They really didn't care a whole lot what damage might befall the area surrounding the implosion, and it was rather a miracle (if one believes in such) that they handily slipped into their footprints.

No. Capable of connecting dots, putting the puzzle together, Holmesian deduction. Clearly you are lacking that - from my perspective, of course.

You're relying on a "miracle" needed to fit your pattern. Interesting....
Could you show me one non-conventionally wired building that would lead you to believe that a non-conventional demo is possible?
Many said they were sequential - as in "Boom, boom, boom, all around the outside, like a demolition..." (Paraphrased) So why do you cling to this assurance that they were NOT as described?
I've watched a number of videos and there were no sequential explosions in them.

I like your holmsian thinking. Did holmes conclude guilty until proven innocent?

When did I ever say that? How does my post at all imply that? I'm not saying that I believe everything, there is always doubt to be found in ANYTHING. But I don't believe the government would have gained anything by planning the 9/11 attacks.
A giant mess in the Middle East, increased terror activity worldwide, horrible approval ratings of the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, etc., a depressed US economy, no positive legacy.
Okay, you'll say "more control over the people", but really if that was their concern I think there would have been many more terror attacks to terrify Americans into surrendering ourselves to our government. Which has never happened.
So for the most part I believe what I SAW that day and that was a terrorist attack. I don't call it the "official story" I call it the truth. Now whether the Bush Administration had a plan ready in case of such an event that would allow us to invade the Middle East, that's a whole other story.

Amater....gravity.
I've seen many videos of 'controlled demolitions' and the buildings are always falling inwards, in those vids.
The WTC Towers fell straight down. That's kinda how gravity works, for anyone who lives here on Earth.
ALSO, please remember how gravity works. You accelerate at 32 feet/per sec/per sec (About 10 m/sec/per sec)
The term to remember is ACCELERATE.
A human body in free-fall will accelerate, until air resistance begins to stabilize the free-fall speed....spread-eagled, the human is at about 120 MPH. Tucking in his/her arms and legs, the human can reach a higher speed....but before hitting the ground, will still achieve an equilibrium speed, based on air resistance.
