A quick analysis of explosions in the North Tower which coincide with the second plane impacting the South Tower.

  • These are not "explosions". They are puffs of smoke pushed out of broken windows.

    The plane crash moved the south tower and caused a giant fuel explosions. Both displaced huge amounts of air, which caused (shock?)waves. Fluid dynamics of air and sound propagation are fairly complex physics, beyond my abilities to compute. But I think it's reasonable to hypothesise that these wave fronts increased pressure, which released a second later.

    Or it was a coincidental back draft or floor collapse.

  • Likely an affect of the shock wave from the impact of the plane.

  • @OsamaBinForgotten2 "Your shockwave theory should have pushed in on the building, those look like they are going outward toward the explosion"

    Agreed, but air pushing in wouldn't be nearly as obvious as the push out. Maybe pressure was first pushed in (less than visible), then pushed out again (visible).

    In the meantime, I read about another hypothesis: The vortex of the plane could have done it. don't claim to know the real deal, but all these are more likely than bombs.

  • @kitbots But there was much explosive and cutting charges going off.

  • @PapaOystein Your shockwave theory should have pushed in on the building, those look like they are going outward toward the explosion....

  • The little puffs? Calling puffs of smoke explosions? Evidence for what? The kinetic energy impact = to 2000 pounds of TNT occurred next to the tower! Could it be some air might have moved into the tower from impact and jet fuel fire ball of Flight 175, causing small puffs of smoke? Is a 2000 pound of TNT kinetic energy event with a jet fuel fire ball from 10,000 gallons of jet fuel with the heat energy of 315 tons of TNT enough to excite the puny puffs?
