The official explanation included jet fuel coursing down the elevator shaft, somehow getting into a non-contiguous shaft and continuing to the ground floor to cause massive explosions. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Jet fuel is liquid, so going down a shaft is certainly possible. I would expect the fire to have followed suit, to the extent there was a draft to support it. I don't know anything about it getting into a "non-contiguous" shaft, although liquids are genius at penetration. Jet fuel does not cause massive explosions, and none were present. People confuse the compression of the collapsed floors to be "explosions" when the air has been raised to pressures of ~10 tons/square foot. A burst tire sounds like an explosion. And a compressed floor will blow loose material out through the burst windows. I don't think you are in a position to ridicule anyone.
I'm not aware of those details. A deflagration overpressure from a mixture of kerosene mist and air can often be mistaken for an explosion. Even a sudden compression of air can be mistaken similarly. These will cause damage. (Pressure explosions of truck tires can be exceedingly dangerous, as the wheel structure comes apart.)

Major explosions that blew out the lobby and fucked people up, not to mention the damage in the basement. You don't remember that?

Do your due diligence then.
