I often can't resist having a stab at a forensic explanation regarding the whys and wherefores of disputed 9/11 footage.
I think the first clip shows a sheet of cladding being ejected from the building - couldn't venture to guess why it's being ejected - but the second clip is a jet of wind with something considerably smaller than a sheet of cladding being thrown out in the jet. The jet of wind may have been caused by something like the collapse of a ceiling, or a floor even, with the air escaping through an already broken window. It doesn't particularly look like an explosion to me, though it could be an explosion.
And looking at it, I think the sheet of cladding in the first clip comes from the far side of the building that we can't see - the south side (I think), not the east side. If I have my bearings right. It seems to be all silhouette, and comes from the very corner of the building, whereas if it came from the side of the building we can see, I'd expect to see a brighter colouring to it.
