A view of the North Tower collapse seen from the east, with the Woolworth Building in the foreground. Though it is a good view of the collapse of the WTC-1 core remnant, it is also interesting to note the many small bright flashes that can be seen, suggesting flashes from cutting charges. These are much too bright to be light reflected from broken glass or pieces of paper, as has been suggested, and are very brief in duration.

They can be seen during the collapse, and also in the dust cloud as the debris settles, suggesting that charges were continuing to detonate after being ejected early in the collapse.

A detailed discussion can be found here, along with a sharper version of the video that shows the flashes more clearly:

  • The sparkling sequence of high-speed charges is unmistakable, particularly in the original upload at veoh (user GlBdr), not re-compressed for youube, and best viewed several times at regular and reduced speeds. The alignment of the flashing strips matches horizontal placement on the core columns - approx 30+ visible flashing strips in about 1/2 a second, all with identical horizontal alignment, not random.

    Irrefutable and amazing.

  • Thanks for the link to Veoh - hate to admit it but I can't figure out how to look by user name.

    Knowing what we do now about nanothermite in the dust these flashes in the dust cloud make more sense. It would tend to fragment and throw off pieces as it detonated.

    Cutting charges do seem to be used too, but the many delayed flashes as the dust cloud settles (much too bright to be reflections on glass, and at the wrong angle to the sun) are too numerous to be delayed cutting charges.

  • Thats just reflections off the broken glass. Why would there be explosives in the dust...

  • I've considered the "broken glass" idea, but the brightness of the flashes seems way too much, and the location of the flashes in shadowed areas can't be explained this way. Explosions in the dust cloud may be charges going off after being ejected in the initial phase.

    Go to the url at the end of the "more info" section for higher resolution copies of the videos, and try watching full-screen and slo-mo. Especially in the WTC-2 clip the flashes are very clear and are mostly in shadowed areas.

  • By the way, this is what our "bailout" money is being used for:

  • As for "why have explosives in the dust," I think that these are charges that were attached to columns that had already been shattered by other charges, and for whatever reason don't trigger until after they have been tossed out. The cutting charges had to be RC triggered by a remote sequencing computer, probably each had a unique code to allow maximum flexibility, e.g. starting the collapse near the point of plane impact. Some might have misfired, or been put in the wrong locations, etc.

  • Those flashes don't automatically mean Demolition, this video was shot far away from the tower so it's difficult to see exactly were the flashes are coming from.

    This is a low quality video so it could easily be reflection, from windows, reflective debris, and it could also easily be sparks from electrical transformers and wires after they were crushed.

    CD admit a quick organized show of flashes running up the whole building in the seconds before collapse. Not random flashes

  • Did u ever stop and think their mite have been glass on the world trade centre

    And the suns shining off it

  • AE911TRUTH They are Experts with degrees, not uneducated trolls on u tube

  • saw demon face of north tower collapse 0:09

  • Btw, these flashes are from the facade that has been shredded apart.

    Go into my favorites and watch "9/11 anonymous new release of 3 WTC ... " From username Xenomorph911and you'll see up close shots of these things floating around in the debris. Pay attention closely at 0:55 - 1:00 especially. It's an honest mistake but we need to make corrections when we can, keep fighting the good fight.

  • @Themathias456

    explosions caught on sonic recording devices are "falling floors" ( even thought they're up to 8 seconds before the building gave). Video of massive chunks of concrete and steel being thrust laterally at speeds of 60-110mph , then you use their velocity as an argument againstvthe speed of the collapse... Mathia, I have a vid I would like you to watch, tell me if you're willing to try and explain what is happening ok?

  • @Themathias456 Thank god we morons have you around to tell us what to think Mathia, teach us your ways!

    Mathia, our problem is, the infidels scream "Show us proof, show us proof!!!!!" and we do, then they say explosions are reflections, steel turning to dust is dust falling off the steel, squibs are just floors falling (up to 60 stories ahead of the main collapse)

  • HOW DUMB ARE YOU IDIOTS ? THEY DID NOT PLANT ANY CHARGES IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS, YOU ALL ARE DUMB ASSES WHO BELIEVE THIS RETARDED SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE REFLECTIONS OF GLASS DEBRIS !

  • Demon conjure demon rise I see the site of demon eyes.

    Rise from fallen power rise from terror rise from the flames of

    a collapsed world.
