Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic. Webmaster's Commentary: Folks, this is a major story and will be totally ignored by ABCNNBBCBS. This is a peer-reviewed report in a science journal which confirms the presence of a manufactured material consisting of tiny flakes of aluminum metal coated with iron oxide discovered at four different locations in the wreckage of the World Trade Center. Aluminum and iron oxide, mixed equally by weight, is the classic recipe for thermite. This material is very fine, increasing its burn speed, and apparently has some additional components (besides the very fine granular size) which lower the ignition temperature. This report directly contradicts the official government claim that there was no trace of internal explosives in the ruins of the World Trade Center.

Putting aside the absolutely incredulous nature of that statement, where was this Manhattan resident? two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. From where?
Why is it incredulous? Aren't you interested in knowing all the reasons why these magnificient buildings whose plans were passed with flying colors by the PTB had such an Achilles Heel? And who knows.... maybe that Manhattan resident was already making plans for his next big sale.
The Achilles heel being planes impacting at over 400MPH, exploding and then multi floor fires burning out of control? Chyea...whoda thought? Obviously not the people who sent the planes into the buildings...
Yeah, and just moments before the collapse, a veteran battalion chief who would know what to look for if danger was present, calls down:
One floor which was below impact is indicative of the rest including the impact zone? How many more pictures of flames shooting out of WTC must I post before you folks get it?
According to the Journal of Australian Fire Investigators, kerosene ignites at around 444°F. The temperature that the fire will eventually reach depends on both the combustion rate (based on O2) and the rate at which heat can be disbursed in the given scenario. Again, any firefighter can explain from experience and training that the black, sooty smoke (like that found on 9/11 at the WTC towers) were O2 deprived. Again, please contact professionals to verify this if you wish. In an oxygen deprived environment, higher temperatures cannot be reached. You can test this yourself by comparing a match in the open vs. a match in a bottle with a very small hole. T.C. Forensic: Article 10 - PHYSICAL CONSTANTS FOR INVESTIGATORS
according to you these fires are oxygen deprived:
They are. There is not enough oxygen in proximity to the flame to support efficient combustion. If you knew anything... if you SHIT about anything, you'd know that. Why the fuck do you think lots of oxygen under pressure is required to get an acetylene torch to get hot enough to cut and weld?
Oxyegen dDeproved? All of those fires will be out in a couple of minutes, right? Oxygen deprived that they are...
These are pics of black rubber tires burning. Duh.
So...not only does smoke turn black when it's oxygen deprived it also reflects the color of what is being burned... Someone forgot to tell this red car that [or maybe it was black but then painted red in a massive scheme to defraud the Laws of Smoke by The Those Same Dark Forces Which Were Behind 9/11?]:
Hey dipshit, I bet dollars to donuts that the roof of that car didn't collapse.
Hey Moonbat...I'll bet you dollars to donuts that fire ISN'T oxygen starved...
There was oil and tires in the WTC buildings?
There were petroleum based products most certainly. Yea...you walked right into it...your other two Moonies, I'll give them credit for being smart enough to NOT ask that question...then there's you...
Yea...you walked right into it...your other two Moonies, I'll give them credit for being smart enough to NOT ask that question...then there's you... The burning parts of the car is made up almost entirely of petroleum based products.... BUT You don't seem to realize that as soon as you have to resort to name calling YOU HAVE LOST. When will YOU ask for a full investigation? Especially since you claim to work in an area full of buildings ready to collapse from small office fires. LOLOLOLOL
Is calling you a goddammed liar name calling or truth?
What did I lie about? You not calling for a thorough investigation?
"Especially since you claim to work in an area full of buildings ready to collapse from small office fires." I've never made the claim that these buildings are ready to collapse form small offioce fires. And, if you are claimiong that the fires in WTC were only small office fires then you are lying again.
Then how did that WTC7 building collapse? Was it made out of wood? All you have to do is show us one example where a similiar building under similiar circunstances came a tumbling down in similiar fashion. One itty bitty example. Come on.... you are good for it.
An out of control fire across most of its floors compromised a major support beam which, in turn, caused cascading failure which resulted in the building's collapse... Thanks for asking...
Bullshit. You posted a picture of Building FIVE which WAS experiencing a major fire, trying to pass it off as Building SEVEN. Building SEVEN had a very minor fire yet collapsed, whereas Building FIVE had a seriously out of control fire yet DIDN'T collapse.
war has lost all credibility.
war has lost all credibility. Why would he have done that?

Sooner or later, that's what happens to all .gov shills.
Not just Government shills. Be on the lookout for Media and Federal Reserve shills as well.
That's true. I've already had to deal with at least one Federal Reserve shill; but it may likely have been at least three. They also resorted to lying and outright intentional misrepresentations of others' statements and comments.
I'd love to have access to the server logs for this site. hehehe
Christine...feel free to display one of miue...also, anyone who listens to NPR, I will be on ATC this afternoon discussing credit market condidtions,
what time and what does ATC stand for?
"Attack The Capitalists".
Hilarious...their coverage of this last fall bears that out...I'll give them credit though...they've yet to incorrectly slant any story in which I've contributed and I get a tranbscript every time...
So you are a financial guru who thinks he knows something about physics? THINK is the key word, you have demonstrated on this site you don't know the first thing about physics. Did you short AA and UAL stock before 9/11? I bet you did, why else would you be so defensive of the obvious government lies concerning 9/11?
I'm not a guru. I observe and report. Making financial decisions is not a hard proposition...in times of uncertainly stay in cash. If you take risk, make suire that it is in something that is a) people need and b) is in short supply. Just remember that for every dollar that you bet there is a dollar being taken out that beleives you to be wrong. As for physics...I paid attention in class...
Physics isn't the class where you played dodge ball you moron.
Physics isn't the class where you played dodge ball you moron. war put you on bozo.
ROFLMAO...he STILL doesn't get it?
Building 5 is the last visible image in that post (the last picture doesn't show, it's just a X). The image file is named http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/attack/docs/wtc5_fire_floors.jpg, which is pretty clear that it's an image of wtc5, not wtc7. You also posted an image of one of the towers for effect I guess, but it's apparent that you were trying to get away with posting an image of Building 5 and having people believe it was actually Building 7. So you are shown to be a LIAR and a SHILL, and simply retort with those words against one who first identified you as such. I used to have to post things that BAC used to try to get away with back on LP, where a day or so after he posted something he'd deny it or misrepresent what he was posting in reference to, just like you. FormerLurker Here's the comment to you.
Look I appreciate what you are tyring to do. My response was in the context of his claim that there fires on 9/11 at WTC were minimal...it's why I included pics of all the buildings at which point my response should have been clear to him. I never represented those pics as being of one buildings I explained that him when he first accused me of that. I can't help his ongoing denial. He was bozo'd simply because the exchange had gotten stale...he asked and continued to ask the same questions...he would make statements of "fact" that were anything but, be corrected with links and sources and then would later make the same statements. As for you contention that I am some sort of coward for bozoing someone...I don't do it lightly...otehr than that I could give a fuck what you think of me...you don't know me...
You are a LIAR war. It is clear from post 67 and post 175 that the conversation was SPECIFICALLY about Building 7, not ALL of the WTC buildings. And BTW, in regards to WTC1 and WTC2 (since you want to expand the conversation to ALL of the collapsed buildings), the fires in the towers were just about out, right before those buildings collapsed. As far as Building 5, which you posted an image of and which was NOT being discussed, it was engulfed in flames, yet DID NOT COLLAPSE.

As far as Building 5, which you posted an image of and which was NOT being discussed, it was engulfed in flames, yet DID NOT COLLAPSE. As well some of the heroes of FDNY reached the 85th floor, afoot, before the collapse and began radioing back about the SURVIVORS on the impacted floors and the need for two hose crews to knock down the flames. That is NOT a raging inferno it is a moderate building fire which would have been easily controlled. We know that the aircraft did not substantially damage the massively reinforced steel girder core (which was interlocked and so would have acted as a "heat sink" resulting in holding the temperature of the steel down below any of the critical points), that the fuel was burned up within ten minutes, and that the overbuilt cores of the building were more than adequate to sustain the level of proven damage and remain standing. The problem Whore runs into is that none of the Official Fairy Tale is supported by the available evidence. It is just that - a fairy tale concocted to sell to the technically ill-informed general public the idea that the fairy tale explains the collapse and thus divert attention away from evidence supporting explosive demolition. Just on an evidenciary basis controlled demolition alone accounts for all of the observed phenomena. The Official Fairy Tale is contradicted by dozens to hundreds of observed datums. That is why quisling slime such as Whore are paid to run around and lie on different web sites to try to lend support to the false explanation. Oh, and one of the reasons that aid is being withheld from the heroes of the FDNY is that there are too many living witnesses who have gone on record saying there were explosions. The criminals who orchestrated this false flag terror crime WANT them to die as quickly as possible to get rid of inconvenient witnesses.
Oh, excellent point there, OI. I don't know if I knew about this. Obviously, if it was a "raging inferno" there was no way that any firemen would have attempted to put that out, or called in for more crews. Oh, and one of the reasons that aid is being withheld from the heroes of the FDNY...The criminals who orchestrated this false flag terror crime WANT them to die as quickly as possible to get rid of inconvenient witnesses. Aid is being withheld from them? There can be NO OTHER reason than for the very reason you opined!
Here is a link to a downloadable audio mp3 of the radio calls of the crews who made it up there. Audio Excerpts of Firefighter Radio Transmissions in South Tower Oh and I mis-remembered it was the 78th floor not the 85th. Here is an transcript of one of the key transmissions: 9:52 a.m. Battalion Seven Chief: "Battalion Seven to Battalion Seven Alpha." "Freddie, come on over. Freddie, come on over by us." Battalion Seven Chief: "Battalion Seven ... Ladder 15, we've got two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock it down with two lines. Radio that, 78th floor numerous 10-45 Code Ones." Ladder 15: "What stair are you in, Orio?" Battalion Seven Aide: "Seven Alpha to lobby command post." Ladder Fifteen: "Fifteen to Battalion Seven." Battalion Seven Chief: "... Ladder 15." Ladder 15: "Chief, what stair you in?" Battalion Seven Chief: "South stairway Adam, South Tower." Ladder 15: "Floor 78?" Battalion Seven Chief: "Ten-four, numerous civilians, we gonna need two engines up here." Ladder 15: "Alright ten-four, we're on our way." 9:58 a.m. (Tower collapses at 9:59) Battalion Seven Chief: "Battalion Seven to Ladder 15." (End of Tape) End of heroes murdered by Bush, Cheney, and their masters. DAMN THE BASTARDS!
Didn't you say they made it to 85?
Didn't you say they made it to 85? I mis-spoke which I corrected in my next post (#269). You're reaching shill. Your disinformation tactics are now so obvious that even a freeptard might catch on. Of course what you are trying to do is distract from the key points of the transcript: Firefighters made it to the 78th floor. There were survivors amidst the alleged raging inferno which an experienced Battalion Chief described as "...two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock it down with two lines". Hardly a raging inferno hot enough to melt steel. And there were survivors to be evacuated from amidst that inferno hot enough to melt steel. You are really stupid shill if you think I will bite on your attempt to draw me into a diversion which takes away from the point you want people to miss. There were survivors. There were two small pockets of fire requiring only two hose teams. That is not a raging inferno hot enough to melt steel. Once again you are exposed as a liar and a shill. Who do you work for shill? How much do they pay you? Minimum wage? You're certainly not worth more than that.
1045 Code one means DEAD fool...
1045 Code one means DEAD fool... Nice attempt at misdirection. NOT. Where's the raging inferno hot enough to melt steel? If it was hot enough to melt steel there would be no bodies to be recovered. There WERE survivors to be recovered. Remember the photo of the woman looking out the hole made by one of the planes? Per the Battalion Chief's report from the scene there were two small pockets of fire requiring just 2 hose teams. You are attempting to direct attention away from the key data. In other words you are using disinformation tactics. Why do you find it necessary to direct attention away from the data with disinformation tactics? Play Again?
Half a football field away where FDNY could NOT get to.
no response?!
It's been asked and answered going weeks, shill... How else was it supposed to collapse?
Not symmetrically from asymmetrical damage! How stupid can you be?
The failure was symmetrical, dipshit...
The failure was symmetrical, dipshit... hmmm that's what Ricky said, the failure was symmetrical, but shouldn't have been since the damage was asymmetrical. Duh.
You're of the "mind" that only the north face of 2 and the south face of 1 was damaged?
Of course it was damaged. It's not magical damage that causes symmetrical collapse though, just damage due to a jet airplane crashing into it. Did it cover the whole side of one building, NO. Was the building over engineered to handle loads differently if there was damage to one side like on 9/11, Yep, sure was, it was designed just for that sort of exterior damage due to a plane crashing into it. Did the towers survive jet planes crashing into them at full speed and nearly full fuel? They sure did, they only collapsed when the remote control explosives were set off at precisely at the time the fire fighters reported there were only TWO pockets of fire and there were MULTIPLE survivors on a plane IMPACT floor. The "inferno" wasn't hot enough to kill these humans, but NIST and the government wants you to believe it was hot enough to bring the buildings down. They are full of shit and you know it stooge. Just like you are full of shit. No go back and tell your superiors we are too bright for you. You are tired of taking a whipping here and need a forum with less intelligent people on it to shill for them. BeAChooser was a stooge as well, but he beat the heck out of you intellectually on this forum.
Actually, in a lot of ways BAC steered myself and others towards the real data concerning 9/11, and was perhaps doing so not by accident, who knows... If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have dug through so much material in order to prove him wrong.
Well I did some equations to see how much air resistance would slow down just one floor of the WTC towers falling from the top of the building with nothing to collide with on the way down and I found out it was insignificant compared to falling in a vacuum. It was insignificant due to the significant mass of the floor. But just one collision would have slowed it down considerably. On 9/11 there were "allegedly" over 100 of those collisions, still it fell at close to free fall speed. That of course is impossible.
This doesn't debunk anything. The 9/11 commission report and the nist report give varying times for the collapses, all of which are too quick to have been a pancake collapse. If it fell in 20 seconds as your video claims, that would be 11 seconds faster than freefall. So 90 floors provided 11 seconds of resistance to the collapse? 11 / 90 = .12 .12 seconds of resistance per floor? You're ok with this? Like I said, go chase yourself back to LP, shill.
What % of WTC was air? That asked you said: If it fell in 20 seconds as your video claims, that would be 11 seconds faster than freefall. Do you know/understand the exponential factor of gravity? Do you also realize that WTC did not fall to ground but piled up on itself to almost 14 floors? Your "story" is bullshit. It doesn't stand up to minimal scrutiny and it changes at every twist, e.g. It fell at near free fall speed!!!! So what if it fell at more than double free fall speed...!!! That all said...the video makes no claims...it simply DOCUMENTS the collapse time...why is it that none of you Moonbats have done that? Because if you did then you'd have to cue the toilet flush...
Show me a 14 floor high pile of pancaked floors. If you can't do that, go screw.
