I see alot of discussion about what DIDN'T cause it, so where is the information and facts on what DID cause it?

Well, this is a problem with the 9/11 debate. A lot of people on my side of the discussion like to jump from one thing to the next without establishing one thing: a common frame of reference. That frame of reference has to be an agreement that the official story is not the most likely explanation, then we can move on to what is the most likely explanation.

Is it POSSIBLE that the explosions were from these?

Probably not. If you listen to the interview posted above, you hear him describe an explosion that throws the men into the air. While exploding extinguishers could certainly sound like explosions, there's no way they'd have the force to, from at least one floor below, throw grown men high into the air.

I just can read information that some people show that says that it WAS caused by a fire, but other supporting information from another source that says it WASN'T cause by fire. I know the paranoia thread is alot on conspiracy, so I am enjoying this one, but again, where is the information that shows how it DID fail, not how it DIDN'T, If it was NOT due to the aircraft impacts and resulting fires?

It's not an easy question. Honestly, I don't think there's enough information available to make a reasonable claim as to what would be a more likely explanation.
