  • Cockburn makes some pretty good points and one big mistake. Hundreds of video and audio clips from that day--real-time clips from sources as varied as CNN, NBC and Fox News--as well as firefighter radio transmissions that were until a few months ago classified make it clear that witnesses overwhelmingly agreed that explosions occurred throughout each of the Twin Towers, with particularly massive explosions errupting in the basements of each building. Stating the opposite seems odd and, quite frankly, given the amount of evidence, ludicrous.
