According to a number of eyewitness reports, bombs went off in basement levels of both towers 1 and 2, and possibly also in basement levels of Building 7.
Michelle Scott, an office worker, told an ABC 7 reporter on September, 11, 2001, that she “ran down the steps to the lobby” after the upper part of the tower exploded. When Scott finally descended to the lobby she said, “everything was torn up” and that a woman already “had her face blown off” from an apparent blast.
Mike Benfante, another eyewitness who managed to escape the exploding tower with his life, recounted the event moments after it happened to the same ABC 7 reporter.
Visibly shaken up, Befante said:
“I’m standing next to John and then the top of the thing [tower] blew up. And it just exploded, started coming down and I was running for my life.”
Befante said he then quickly slid under a truck to safety when “everything just went black.”
ABC 7 also reported, “federal agents with guns standing outside the federal buildings clearing everyone out.”
Additionally others were reported to have had seen victims with skin “hanging” off their bodies.
“It was a big blast — a big ball of fire,” one witness said.
A janitor in one of the towers said that he could clearly hear a difference between the explosion or ‘plane impact’ situated high up in the tower as opposed to a separate explosion that took place in the basement.
A War Correspondent named Jack Kelley reported to USA Today that the FBI did announce early on that the “coordinated attack” on the World Trade Center likely consisted of ‘two planes’ and the simultaneous detonation of other ‘explosives’ placed in the buildings.

Already explained. Flaming jet fuel went down the elevator shafts and "exploded" at the bottom.

So you say.
Most (if not all) of the jet fuel was consumed during the initial impact of the plane hitting the building.
You do realize that jet fuel is kerosene and doesn't explode when it 's out in the open, right?
You know what - never mind.
You aren't worth my time.

True. Whenever they want to construct a new building, they have to mine for I- beams of the correct size.

When they have no answer the just ridicule. Showing themselves to be foolish.

I wonder if they even care that 3000 plus Americans died that day.

2C, as a collectivist organization, we are no longer considered to be 'small.' We have decided to emulate Jimrob's publick thievery of over 80K each and every quarter per annum so as to line our pockets with lots of dough. How much are you in for?

Yep. And when they run out of big I-beams they have to make smaller buildings.

Welcome back.
Seems like the chances of getting banned are about 10 times higher in election years. People get crazy when they see the crap that's going to be on their ballots.

CREDIBLE SOURCES SUCH AS NEW YORK FIREFIGHTERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
Assistant Fire Commissioner stated “I thought . . . before . . . No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. . . . I . . . saw a flash flash flash . . . [at] the lower level of the building [not up where the fire was]. You know like when they . . . blow up a building ... ?" -- and a lieutenant firefighter the Commissioner spoke with independently verified the flashes
A firefighter said “[T]here was just an explosion. It seemed like on television [when] they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions.”
Another firefighter stated "it almost sounded like bombs going off, like boom, boom, boom, like seven or eight" (page 4; original is .pdf; Google's webpage version is here)
Paramedic said "at first I thought it was -- do you ever see professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors and then you hear pop pop pop pop pop -- thats exactly what because thought it was" (page 9)
Police officer noted "People were saying, 'There’s another one and another one.' I heard reports of secondary bomb explosions . . ." (page 61, which is page 3 of a hand-written memorandum)
Firefighter stated "there was an explosion in the south tower, which . . . just blew out in flames . . . One floor under another after another and when it hit about the fifth floor, I figured it was a bomb, because it looked like a synchronized deliberate kind of thing. I was there in '93" (referring to 1993 bombing of world trade center; pages 3 & 4)
A firefighter stated "it looked like sparkling around one specific layer of the building . . . Then the building started to come down. My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks when they show you those implosions on TV."

Newly obtained video that was reluctantly released by NIST after a lawsuit by the International Center for 9/11 Studies shows two firefighters on 9/11 discussing how secondary explosions occurred immediately before the collapse of the twin towers, providing damning new evidence that explosive devices were used to bring down the buildings. Firemen discuss how bombs were going off in the lobby of WTC1 as they were staging to move up the building. They explain how the building had already been hit by the plane and fires were already burning. After two explosions in the lobby, a third went off and the whole lobby collapsed. I’m sorry 9/11 truth deniers, you now have another smoking gun that you can’t deny!

All of the elevators were in the hollow core of the building. There wasn't a separate shaft for each elevator.
