What Caused the Fiery Ground-Level Explosions Right Before the Collapse of Each Tower?

On 9/11, there were multiple reports by credible witnesses of ground-level fiery explosions right before the collapse of the Twin Towers:

What could have caused ground-level fiery explosions right before the collapse of each tower?

In addition, a paramedic stated that before each tower collapsed, the ground shook (pp. 5-7). What could have caused the ground to shake?

See also this and this.

My best guess is that powerful explosives were used to fracture

the massive core columns in each tower. (The core may have been a target in the 1993 WTC inside job too.)

"NYPD photo of south face base smoke from the South Tower. The photo can be found on page 102 of a NIST Report on emergency response operations here: http://www.fire.nist.gov/bfrlpubs/fire05/PDF/f05150.pdf Pick up a jpeg of the photograph here: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/outofmany_1voice/911basement%20exp...
Thanks to thehighwaymanq on the Loose Change forum for the find. "

Here's a picture of the same spot from a different angle

The base of the footbridge is to the left of the fires here.

It's more likely a burning car or burning debris that feel down from one of the Towers.

There were a number of small fires on the ground in the Liberty Street area after the first Tower was hit.

This pic is from further east down the same street.

What in the world are you talkin about?

The smoke seen in the video I posted is clearly coming from inside the tower and shooting up and out of it near the base. Here's the pic presented in the youtube video...

By the way, I'm not saying there wasn't a car(s) or debris on fire in that area. Just that he pic I posted was obviously a separate event from those fires.

If you look at the first picture that I posted

You can see the base of the foot bridge up at top left. There are fires burning on the ground to the right of the footbridge. I would assume these are the same fires that caused the smoke rising in the picture that you posted. It is not clear that the smoke is billowing from the inside the base of the building or from a burning car or debris that hit the ground.

EDIT: After looking at this a few more times...

I suppose it's possible that the smoke is NOT coming from inside the tower. Perhaps it's an optical illusion that's throwing me off, due to the angle it was shot from? I compared the pic to some actual video near the same area, and I have to admit that there is some room to say that the smoke is possibly coming from a burning car near the bottom of the "footbridge".

Thanks, I appreciate that

Here's a couple of other pictures that you might be interested in?

This first link is to a picture of the WTC Plaza, just after the 1st Tower was hit (I think).

http://jeffreymunro.com/worldtradecenterphotos/slides/2103.html

Notice the area behind the stage in front of WTC1. At this point, there's no burning debris or anything smoking in this area and the rest of the Plaza for that matter.

Here's another shot of the Plaza, after the 2nd Tower was hit. (Please, right click on the picture to see the whole thing)

This time there's billowing black smoke coming up from behind the stage. Again, this could be from burning debris, but this smoke is thicker and blacker then the smoke I've seen in the pictures from the Liberty Street area. Plus, we know it's probably not a car since this wouldn't be a place someone would normally park.

No problem

Thanks for speaking up and posting those excellent pics! I hadn't seen that one with the landing gear lodged in the perimeter columns before. Just more proof that the no planes disinfo crew are frauds. Godspeed!
