CONTROLLED TOWER COLLAPSE
One major theory that arose numerous times following the attacks was the idea of controlled demolition inside the tower that aided their collapse. The reason for this is that it is hard to believe the planes would be able to collapse so quickly and fall way they did without help from explosives, as well as the fact building seven of the World Trade Centre collapsed by itself. The theory of controlled demolition came about as soon as the incident happened, with a lot of witnesses stating they heard explosives within and around the Twin Towers. It is believed that there were bombs planted inside the buildings to make sure they would collapse.
Although the towers were hit at a high speed by a large aircraft and set on fire, it is hard to believe that the damaged caused by the planes alone would be able to make both towers collapse so quickly, one in under an hour. The South Tower took just 56 minutes to collapse while the North Tower took 102 minutes. The Twin Towers were constructed in 1968 and 1969 with the possible idea of a plane crash taken into consideration, following previous accidental crashes and near crashes into the Empire State Building and Wall Street buildings. They were made to withstand large forces, as well heavy winds around 300 kilometers per hour so the impact from the plane would not be able to bring the buildings down alone. While people may argue it was the fire ensuing the plane crash that caused the quick collapse, there is also an explanation that goes against that theory. Fire resistant materials were used in the construction to protect most of the elements in the building. Fire retardant walls were used to protect the large steel beams acting as the core for the structure and fire resistant sprays covered most of the materials in the buildings. Each tower was built with 87,000 tonnes of steel work so they were very strong and stable. The facts about the construction of the towers completely go against the common belief that the collapse of the North and South Towers of the World Trade Centre was caused by the plane alone. There are no indications that the crash or fires would give the amount of damage needed to cause a partial collapse, let alone a full collapse.
As well as the information about the carefully thought out construction, another thing that brings about suspicion is the fact it is hard to understand why the building would fall vertically like it did if the only cause of the collapse was the plane crashing into the tower. The North Tower was hit between the 92nd and 98th floors while the South Tower was hit between the 78th and 84th floors and because of this, it would make sense that the parts that were hit would fall first. Comparing videos of unrelated buildings collapsing from gravity controlled demolitions, it is easy to see the results are inconsistent with the actual collapse of the World Trade Centre, where both buildings collapsed completely all at the same time. Both buildings fell straight down vertically into themselves rather than exploding outwards which suggests something inside the towers aided the collapse.
A major factor in the attacks that gives suspicion of controlled demolition was World Trade Centre building seven collapsing as well. This building was not hit by a plane or any other kind of impact, yet it collapsed entirely at 5:20pm. It was located a block away from the towers, and although fires spread from the towers, it is next to impossible that building seven, a 47 story high structure, was able to collapse just from fire. Apparently it burned unchecked for seven hours, yet if this was the case and there was a fire, there were a lot of firemen surrounding the area and it would have been noticed and put out immediately. Therefore, there would have to be some form of assistance in building seven that caused it to collapse.
Controlled demolition is a major theory in relation to the World Trade Centre attacks for these reasons. It is believed that explosives were placed inside the North and South towers as well as building seven of the World Trade Centre. Both buildings were completely obliterated and the concrete was rendered into a fine dust which billowed for blocks. Only explosives would be able to make volcanic dust clouds like this after blowing up the structures. It is thought that there were explosive bombs placed strategically in both towers as well as buildings seven that were detonated after the planes hit to ensure they would collapse. This theory is consistent with the way the buildings fell with no remaining skeleton, collapsing uniform and total.
Many people at the scene at the time of the Twin Tower attacks gave reports of explosions before any news reports or conspiracy theories came out. One eyewitness said he saw he saw six brief flashes and then heard a cackling sound. This would be consistent with the theory of explosives as each tower had six support beams. Firefighter Louie Cacchioli was one of the first in the second tower and told People Weekly "I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building." An employee on the 80th floor, Kim White, also said she heard explosives, initially thinking it was just the fire but then hearing another explosion. There kinds of reports came from many different people and because they were given out immediately with no influence from the media or other people, it is hard to ignore them. It is highly likely bombs or other forms of explosives were placed in both the Twin Towers and WTC building seven.
