"Bombs on Board Towers"

        One of the biggest 911 conspiracy theories to date is that of controlled demolitions. Many people believe that the media was feeding us lies, all part of a cover up to hide the truth about explosives placed in the building beforehand. The planes were just the cover-up, a diversion made so that we would be distracted from the detonating explosives. This theory was heavily advocated by people such as physicist Steven E. Jones, architect Richard Gage, software engineer Jim Hoffman, and theologian David Ray Griffin. They fuel their argument with the basis that the National Institute of Standards and Technology continued to reinforce their theory about the impact of the jets being what caused the buildings to fall, yet they never made tests or allowed tests to be made on active thermite material discovered in debris, which could have been the result of an explosion.

            Many personal accounts of this incident, including phone calls, video tapes, and written accounts, all concur with the idea that a secondary explosion was heard. Many people state they witnessed gushes of smoke leaving the building in parts the plane did not impact, and these could have been the results of squibs, smaller explosives made to set off a bigger one. People that were in the basement of the north and south tower, and firefighters near the area, also reported having heard multiple explosions after the plane had crashed, which seemed to be the result of a secondary device. The biggest “explosion” heard, apparently came from the basements of both buildings, and as a result, great dust clouds emerged from the bottom of both towers. Some firemen are also expected to have been aware of the situation, as there is video evidence of firefighter chiefs instructing their men to not enter the tower as there were bombs inside, and accounts of people being told by firemen such as Lieutenant and Auxiliary Officer Paul Isaac Jr. stated “many other firemen know there were bombs in the buildings, but they’re afraid for their jobs to admit it because the “higher ups” forbid discussion of this fact”.
