"Accounts"

            Street accounts of other firemen and civilians include being rushed out of the area after the sound of secondary explosions emerging from ground level. After the third major explosion was heard on each building, they would come down. A rescued citizen stated “At 10:30 I tried to leave the building, but as I got outside I heard a second explosion… And then a fire marshal came in and said we had to leave because if there was a third explosion this building might not last”. In another account, that of Edmund McNally’s phone call to his wife Liz, he tells his wife “Liz, this was a terrorist attack. I can hear the explosions below me”. Survivors Tom Elliot and Kim White state to have heard explosions above and below them as they were being rescued, and as a result they had to escape through the stair wells.

            Other theories suggest that the collapse of the twin towers had to be a result of controlled demolitions, as the building was built in three sections. This means that when the tower collapsed, only the affected part was supposed to have come down and it would have fallen freely towards the ground into several buildings in that area. The buildings were constructed two strong to be brought down like that, and the only way for them to collapse straight down the way they did would be for an explosion to take place at the bottom to weaken the building, and then followed by smaller explosions which would bring the building down piece by piece.
