Here’s a duplicate of my comment at the end of the previous Open Thread:

And “professional rescue-workers”? What kind of training would they have in discriminating between the sound of explosions and other similar sounds? Why would they ever have had any such training at all? Is there any evidence that they did?

NIST claims that the connections between various structural members snapped.

That probably would have sounded, at least to some people, like “small explosions. ” A loud, sharp noise is a loud sharp noise.

I dunno. If more than 150 experienced, professional fire-fighters and rescue-workers say that they heard a series of explosions inside the WTC just before it collapsed, I tend to take their statements very seriously.

It also seems *extremely* suspicious that all their eyewitness testimony was left out of the official NIST report and was only later discovered through FOIA filings.

Leading demolitions experts who were shown a film of the collapse of Building 7 without being told what it was said it was obviously a controlled-demolition using explosives, and an absolutely first-rate job.

Reputable academics who who examined the remains said they found obvious traces of nano-thermite, a military grade explosive.

Roughly 200 Mossad agents were quickly rounded up by the FBI, most of them in the New York City area, with five of them caught filming the burning WTC towers and celebrating their very successful operation, though all of them eventually released back to Israel under enormous political pressure.

In 2006, a high-ranking former CIA official publicly declared that the official 9/11 story was a total pack of lies and fully endorsed the 9/11 Truth movement, while a top German official responsible for intelligence matters said much the same thing. A former president of Italy said that “everyone” knew that Mossad and the CIA had actually been responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

All we have on the other side is an official NIST report that deliberately excluded all of the massive eyewitness testimony and other contrary evidence.

I’ve discussed all of this many times in my various articles, most recently the one from last year:
