The original post linked to a blog entry which said: "At the Pentagon, here was just enough debris to fill up NO more than a few wheelbarrows; certainly, an airliner of almost any type would have left behind much, much more wreckage. "

I don't doubt that they heard very loud, concussive noises that day, prior to the collapse of the buildings. But before you definitively say that it was explosives, you have to rule out other possible causes of these loud noises. Off the top of my head I can think of two other potential sources of these noises:
* The structural compromise of the building. Would you expect that a building that would collapse without the aid of explosives would do so quietly and suddenly?
* Falling debris. You see pieces of the exterior of the building falling left and right in every video of the event. The plane that hit the South Tower hit lower than the one that hit the North tower, above the 78th floor. The observation deck at the 107th tower was 1,362 ft high, so assuming the floors were roughly the same size, that means that debris was falling from 990ft and above.
Further, compare the audio of a controlled demolition to the audio of the WTC collapse:
Listen to how loud the explosions are:

This one has flashes, booms and a then after a slight delay, collapse

Here's one that claims you can hear explosions, but it's indistinguishable from the rest of the sound of the building collapsing:

So, let me ask you this. We went to war with Iraq on the premise that they had WMD, and yet when we ousted Saddam Hussein we could find no WMD. Why would we fake a domestic terrorist attack and kill thousands of American citizens, but fail to plant WMD on the Iraqi army?
