This video was recorded on 9/11/01. In it, a man in FDNY uniform clearly states: "...trying to get some of the people out, then they saw secondary explosions and then the subsequent collapses. So I don't know how many people were in there; I know there's were a lot of firefighters and a lot of public safety personnel were in there." (download video) (download MP3)

FWIW, the word "explosions" does not appear anywhere in the searchable 567 page Official 9/11 Commission Final Report. Do you think maybe those rascally Commissioners never saw this video, or what?

There's also this video of FDNY 'collapse' survivors back at the firehouse describing what they'd experienced.

There's also this audio which makes multiple references to the "secondary" explosions long after the buildings were hit.

There's also this audio which makes multiple references to "explosions" from devices in the building.

There's also this video of a Port Authority Inspector answering a question about crashes, explosions, and collapses. It also gives us a good look at widely-separated explosions in WTC1 occurring siumltaneously just as the WTC2 fireball erupts!
