It's not to say that eyewitnesses don't count for anything, its just that their observations should be verifiable. What one witness calls an explosion, another witness may not - so looking at the video provides a more objective approach. If there were explosions, you should be able to hear them. Is that flawed logic?
It is very flawed logic because you're assuming the recorders were within audible range. Eyewitness testimony needs to be verified and in a time sensitive situation the most important verification is consistency among the witnesses.
Here is a good analogy:
Car accidents require assigning who was at fault and the damage from the vehicles are not always capable of proving who made the error. In that situation the primary evidence is witnesses. The majority of accidents cannot be investigated by sound because the auditory aspect is absent. This forces reliance on the visual recording of eyewitneses who were there so eyewitness testimony is crucial. The Towers have video/visual recording but sound is mitigated by immediate range noise. This is why testimony from those in the Towers who were tryng to escape is more reliable than a recording done with a zoom recorder hundreds of feet away. We have several separate witnesses giving the same testimonies about hearing explosions.
