"My story was never mentioned in the final report and I felt like
I was being put on trial in a court room. They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit
only what they wanted to hear" [PDF download]
-Firefighter Louie Cacchioli
"When I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down,
before No. 2 came down, ... I saw low-level flashes ... I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked
like the building came down ... You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a
building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw."
- NYFD Assistant Fire Commissioner Stephen Gregory
“It was like a professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors and then you
hear 'Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop'."
- NYC Paramedic Daniel Rivera
"It was as if as if they had detonated ... as if they had planned to take down a building,
boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom "
- NYFD Captain Dennis Tardio
"I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate
workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building."
- NYFD Firefighter Louie Cacchioli
“There was just an explosion in the south tower. 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.”
- NYFD Firefighter Richard Banaciski
"It almost sounded like bombs going off, like boom, boom, boom, like seven or eight"
- NYFD Firefighter Thomas Turilli
"Heard explosions coming from . . . the south tower . . . There were about ten explosions. . . . We
then realized the building started to come down"
- NYFD Firefighter Craig Carlson
"It actually gave at a lower floor, not the floor where the plane hit. . . . We originally had
thought there was like an internal detonation, explosives, because it went in succession, boom,
boom, boom, boom, and then the tower came down"
- NYFD Firefighter Edward Cachia
"Somewhere around the middle . . . there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was
just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building
had started to explode ... With each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash
came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I
could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and
then all around the building"
- NYFD Captain Karin Deshore
"A debate began to rage because . . . many people had felt that possibly explosives had taken out 2
World Trade"
- NYFD Firefighter Christopher Feny

WTC DEMOLITION |
The oral histories have finally been released. It is time for Americans and the world in general to see what these brave men and women
reported about that fateful day. If this information forces a reevaluation of the official story about
9/11, better now than later. These reports, however, were not widely
publicized by the mainstream press and, as a result, have for the most part been known only within
the “9/11 truth movement,” which has focused on evidence that seems inconsistent with the official
story. Previously Available Testimony
Suggestive of Explosions in the Twin Towers The day
after 9/11, a story in the Los Angeles Times, referring to the south tower, said: “There were
reports of an explosion right before the tower fell, then a strange sucking sound, and finally the
sound of floors collapsing."4
A story in the Guardian said that “police and fire officials were carrying out the
first wave of evacuations when the first of the World Trade Centre towers collapsed. Some
eyewitnesses reported hearing another explosion just before the structure crumbled. Police said that
it looked almost like a ‘planned implosion.’"5
“Planned implosion” is another term for controlled demolition, in which
explosives are placed at crucial places throughout a building so that, when set off in the proper
order, they will cause the building to come down in the desired way. When it is close to other
buildings, the desired way will be straight down into, or at least close to, the building’s
footprint, so that it does not damage the surrounding buildings. This type of controlled demolition
is called an “implosion.” To induce an implosion in steel-frame buildings, the explosives must be
set so as to break the steel columns. Each of the Twin Towers had 47 massive steel columns in its
core and 236 steel columns around the periphery. To
return now to testimonies about explosions: There were many reports about an explosion in the
basement of the north tower. For example, janitor William Rodriguez reported that he and others felt
an explosion below the first sub-level office at 9 AM, after which co-worker Felipe David, who had
been in front of a nearby freight elevator, came into the office with severe burns on his face and
arms yelling "explosion! explosion! explosion!"6
Rodriguez’s account has been corroborated by José Sanchez, who was
in the workshop on the fourth sub-level. Sanchez said that he and a co-worker heard a big blast that
“sounded like a bomb,” after which “a huge ball of fire went through the freight elevator.”7 Engineer Mike Pecoraro, who was
working in the sixth sub-basement of the north tower, said that after an explosion he and a
co-worker went up to the C level, where there was a small machine shop. “There was nothing there but
rubble,” said Pecoraro. “We're talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press--gone!” They then went to the
parking garage, but found that it was also gone. Then on the B level, they found that a
steel-and-concrete fire door, which weighed about 300 pounds, was wrinkled up "like a piece of
aluminum foil." Having seen similar things after the terrorist attack in 1993, Pecoraro was
convinced that a bomb had gone off.8
Given these testimonies to explosions in the basement levels of
the towers, it is interesting that Mark Loizeaux, head of Controlled Demolition, Inc., has been
quoted as saying: “If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get
the weight of the building to help collapse the structure.”9
Multiple Explosions
Some of the testimonies suggested that more than one explosion occurred in one tower or the other.
FDNY Captain Dennis Tardio, speaking of the south tower, said: "I hear an explosion and I look up.
It is as if the building is being imploded, from the top floor down, one after another, boom, boom,
boom."10 In June of
2002, NBC television played segments from tapes recorded on 9/11. One segment contained the
following exchange, which involved firefighters in the south tower:
Official: Battalion 3 to
dispatch, we've just had another explosion.
Official: Battalion 3 to dispatch, we've had
additional explosion. Dispatcher: Received battalion command. Additional explosion.11
Firefighter Louie Cacchioli, after entering the north tower lobby and
seeing elevator doors completely blown out and people being hit with debris, asked himself, “how
could this be happening so quickly if a plane hit way above?” After he reached the 24th floor, he
and another fireman “heard this huge explosion that |
