The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 451
The day of the WTC collapse Van Romero, an explosives expert was contacted for his
opinion regarding the WTC collapse. Van Romero is not an ordinary explosives expert. He is
former director of the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at New Mexico Tech,
and current Vice President of Research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
(NMIMT). At NMIMT Romero studies “the effects of explosions on buildings, aircraft and other
structures, and often assists in forensic investigations into terrorists attacks, often by setting off
similar explosions and studying the effects.” Romero stated:
My opinion is, based on the videotapes, that after the airplanes hit the
World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside the building that
caused the towers to collapse.

Romero later reversed his opinion but it is interesting to note that his company relies on
government contracts and government funding and one of his job functions is to solicit
government funds.

Witnesses Saw Explosions
The fact that Romero reversed his opinion is amazing considering the staggering number
of very credible witnesses who say they heard and saw explosions in the WTC towers. These
witnesses have gotten little attention in the media and they got no attention from the 9/11
Commission or from the FEMA or NIST investigations. An entire book or book series could be
composed from witness statements many of who reported seeing and or hearing explosions.
We'll review just a few of these (the sources in the endnotes have many additional witness
statements).
The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) received more than 1,300 e-mails from
“witnesses and other concerned readers within the first few hours after the attack.” These
included reports of bombs exploding shortly after the plane crash. Thats right, not just as the
towers fell but shortly after the crash. One report came from one of their own correspondents,
Stephen Evans. He was on the ground floor of the Trade Center when the first plane crashed. He
says, “There was a huge bang and the building physically shook. Seconds later there were two or
three similar huge explosions and the building literally shook again…”. Another BBC
eyewitness reported, “I was on the first floor. There was a big explosion, some guy came out, his
skin was all off….”

Chief Engineer Magazine reported the experience of Stationary Engineer Mike Pecoraro
who was working deep in the basement of WTC 1 when the first plane hit on 9/11. He was
working in the 6th sub-basement. After a light flickered, Mikes co-worker contacted the Assistant
Chief. He “did not know what happened” but said “that the whole building seemed to shake and
there was a loud explosion.” Soon the room Mike and his coworker “were working in began to
fill with a white smoke.” The two ascended to level C. There they found the buildings machine
shop, their co-workers and a 50-ton hydraulic press – gone! Unable to find their coworkers they
made their way to the parking garage and it too was gone. Mike said, “There were no walls, there
