Searle,

Re: I promise you that you'll be amazed. I haven't seen them before nor have I seen any reference to them.

I don't know what to say. I'm quite surprised that you'd so adamantly believe something on a marginally vetted website that is showing something that no other corroborating site has displayed.

Occam's Razor would have me first suspecting that the video was enhanced by some of the elementary techniques that are used by Hollywood studios to create such dazzling effects in movies like these:

dir.yahoo.com

My bottom line? It is impossible to trust the veracity of any video on the Internet.

Re: what certainly looks like explosions. One after the other, as the building came down. Big ones. No bullshit. I promise you that you'll be amazed. I haven't seen them before nor have I seen any reference to them.

As I've stated before, I'm skeptical because 1) there is no corroborating evidence, 2) the website this material is on is not mainstream, 3) the ease with which computer simulation can be made to make the mind believe something is real and 4) the explosions do not explain the collapse of the most rigid portion of the building, i.e. the central core.
