This one's just too funny:

msnbc.msn.com

"At 10:45 that morning, City Hall Park was dusted with four inches of ash. Clouds of smoke and dust choked the streets off lower Broadway. A couple of loud "BA-BOOMS" shook the air-exploding ordnance in the arsenal that the U.S. Secret Service kept in its World Trade Center bunker, I learned later."

Indeed. And what sort of BA-BOOMing ordnance did the SS keep in the WTC? If it was bullets, it likely wouldn't be going BA-BOOM, more like RAT-A-TAT-TAT. Anything else, from grenades on up, would be made out of C-4. So what would have caused it to go BA-BOOM? It couldn't have been fire, as fire will not cause C-4 to go BA-BOOM.

From:

science.howstuffworks.com

"Just as with other explosives, you need to apply some energy to C-4 to kick off the chemical reaction. Because of the stabilizer elements, it takes a considerable shock to set off this reaction; lighting the C-4 with a match will just make it burn slowly, like a piece of wood (in Vietnam, soldiers actually burned C-4 as an improvised cooking fire). Even shooting the explosive with a rifle won't trigger the reaction. Only a detonator, or blasting cap will do the job properly."

Curiouser and curiouser said Alice.
