That would be a negative. The building code prohibited explosive devices as such. Meaning you couldn't have tanks of butane to cook with or other
similar object. The fire extinguishers were of the non-explosive variety as well. If you're looking for the extinguisher that would explode in a
manner as the airtank used in the movie JAWS, that's been debated and debunked before.
I'm not saying there wasn't anything in the building that couldn't explode, but it was a violation to bring anything of potential explosive harm.
Especially after there were some bomb threats and attempts from previous years.
Edited to add - that the explosions (plural) actually sounded like the exact same explosion (singular ) in all clips. It sounded the same in all
respects minus the different hearing angles. Meaning the speed of explosion, the resonance time and the fall-off sound were all equal. Have you heard
any more of that strength that don't sound the same?

The Rodriguez story: didn't he say that the explosions were very close to when the actual plane hit? In the clips shown, the time frame is waaaaaaay
after the initial hot, there's reporters, firefighters and a slew others. In one clip the reporters mentioned "even hours after"
