The jet fuel exploded on impact and resulted in a shockwave. A shockwave that was heard. At what speed would the shockwave from the explosion travel through the air? You might want to study what makes sound waves? And how sound waves travel through the air? And at what speeds.

And there is no evidence what you are addressing was caused by planted explosives. And has everything to do with the shockwave of the jet fuel exploding on the impact.

I believe it is you who has his science wrong. We are talking about an air pressure shock wave blowing out on the top levels - that has nothing to do with the speed of sound. The sound would reach the observer first followed by the shock wave which clearly shows the shock wave travels slower than the sound produced by the impact/explosion.
The air pressure shock wave caused by the plane impacting would travel at the same initial speed as the plane.
Sound is the energy things produce when they vibrate (move back and forth quickly). If you bang a drum, you make the tight skin vibrate at very high speed (it's so fast that you can't usually see it), forcing the air all around it to vibrate as well. As the air moves, it carries energy out from the drum in all directions. Eventually, even the air inside your ears starts vibrating—and that's when you begin to perceive the vibrating drum as a sound.

Not to the four forensic investigators. So instead of a forklift try the kitchen sink.
Or read, with thought, what you are presented with.

Pressure wave is good.
To be officially accurate, in terms, NIST uses the definition "pressure pulses" in their publications.
End result (evidence) is what we see now.

Regarding shrapnel from the explosions, as Neutron clearly knows and has discussed previously here, the most obvious example is the piece(s) impaled into the American Express Building hundreds of feet removed.
FEMA photos showed that early on, and those photos were quickly pulled from mainstream media, though some can still be seen.
The dust from the explosions, certainly not actual shrapnel, covered lower Manhattan. It has been analyzed and shows evidence of thermite.
The photos showing the WTC pieces stuck in adjacent buildings were taken by FEMA and others.
So far, you haven’t even provide any evidence concerning cut steel columns.
If you are not going to be serious about this i am not going to help you with your silly games.

Sure I am.
Keep posting your dribble while the rest of us continue investigating.

Having heard over their radios the orders that they should evacuate, some of the responders inside the tower headed down the stairwells and out of the building, telling their comrades on the way. Others did not, having not received the message, having climbed too high to now get out in time, or continuing on the missions to help others still in the building.

The biggest thing is you don't need to kill 3000 people and flatten some of the
largest buildings in the US to get us into a war.

Who said the main reason was to get us into a war?
That's true, but starting GWOT, still running like the Energizer Bunny 18 years later, was one of the goals.
There were a lot of beneficiaries to what happened on 9/11...

They cannot replicate cartoon physics, it is impossible.
So it's about explosives, etc.
Anything but debating how it cannot work within our physical reality!
