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.

Yep.
Is your case that they set those thermite charges to activate after the building burned for six hours? My case is for a thorough investigation, which includes analyses of materials. I really hope that there was no sabotaging of the buildings.
It's a wonder anyone will enter much less agree to work full time in buildings that have a predilection for total collapse in the event of fires that a good sprinkler system should have been able to put out. You would have thought a thorough investigation would have been a priority since similiar buildings are everywhere. Hmmmmmm
Who claimed that it was a hollow steel core and that steel melted?
Of course there was...the first came in from the north @ 429MPH and the second from the south @ 500+MPH...
Number 7 was hit? Make up your mind.
Of course there was...the first came in from the north @ 429MPH and the second from the south @ 500+MPH... That's your and .gov's problem. The "investigation" proceeded upon certain assumptions and presumptions. A scientific investigation does not go about trying to prove its theory. It goes about trying to disprove it's theory. At least a couple faulty assumptions and presumptions which guided the "investigations" which led to error: 1) Assumption that debris from another building caused the fire. What evidence do they have that suggests that debris from another building caused the fire? Were events such on that day that cause of fire could only have resulted from debris from another building? 2) Assumption that heat from the fire was key in what brought down the tower. In their words: "a key factor leading to the eventual collapse of WTC 7 was thermal expansion of long-span floor systems at temperatures 'hundreds of degrees below those typically considered in current practice for fire resistance ratings.' and, "This was the first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building," the agency stated. This flies in the face of logic to have made conclusions based upon their preconceived presumptions. Upon what evidence do they base these claims? Their "evidence" to rule out explosives and fuel oil are as follows: FILM? Computer models? They rely upon film and animation devices as a foundation for such absurdities? Why were physical materials (i.e., the steel) from within the building itself not analyzed? What about eyewitnesses? Where are their arson investigators' statements and analysis? The entirety of these claims are too preposterous! .gov proceeded with their "investigations", and continue to maintain, that "events on 9/11 were mutually exclusive". .gov maintains the theory that "a" to "e" occurred: [airplane at WTC1 & 2 -> caused debris to intrude on surrounding buildings -> creating fire -> leading to heat -> caused collapse]; therefore, "aa" [detonation of bombs] could not have occurred, been a contributing factor, or caused the collapse, even though "aa" was never investigated nor ruled out by physical evidence from the crime scene.
The planes didn't explode you idiot, the tanks burst, the fuel caught on fire, and most of it blew out the building in the direction of the original trajectory of the aircraft.
It's become quite clear that war likes to avoid any real investigation, and shouts down with obscenities and idiotic comments anyone looking into the matter...
You are a total moron war. You don't understand simple physics, yet you toss a few words together and hope to impress people. Do you have some sort of psychiatric issue where you need to feel important, or are you getting paid to act this way???
Critter: Everyone who worked at One Liberty Plaza refers to it as OLP. It's becoming quite clear that war is a lying weasle. I bet he's only visited New York at best, and was NOT there on 9/11 as he claims. He tries to use "I was there" as some sort of factor in his credibility. I found it sort of odd when he said he saw the buildings collapse, yet when pressed on it was forced to admit he didn't actually see them collapse because he was too busy running away.
Somebody else used to do that. I want to say Margarite but the memory is vague. I remember one of the people from CP did it all the time.
Yet there are some NY fire fighters who are saying there is. Who knows more about it I wonder, some anonymous poster called war, or NYFD firemen who go public? Hmmmm, that's a tough one.
It's a common tactic amongst Internet trolls and shills.
LOL yeah of that I have no doubt. She seemed to do it for other reasons though. Was an sympathy/attention getter. She played up the fear part, an "oh poor me" thing.
YOU are the lying jackass bud. ANY cursory reading on fires will reveal that BLACK SMOKE is a sign of an oxygen starved fire, whereas WHITE SMOKE indicates a raging HOT fire. Black smoke is ALSO formed by soot given off in fuel fires or tire fires, BUT the fuel burnt out in the first few minutes after the impacts. In regards to the WTC towers, the FIREMEN said the fires were almost out. I believe them before I believe you, a liar who has tried to pass off pictures of Building 5 engulfed in flames as that of Building 7.
The irony in that is breathtaking...
OUtright lie...any fireman will tell you that smoke is an indication of WHAT IS BURNING...ande it's fucking hilarious, given the GAPING holes in WTC to believe that anything was O2 deprived... You can't be that Stupid. Can you? What is your true agenda?
I don't think it is possible to be that st000pid or that stubborn, so he has to be just a POS shill.
The people who believe this are either really stupid or they are shills.

They know what the contributing cause was...a fire that burned out of control for six hours compromised the buuilding's support structure..
#70. To: litus (#66)
I find it an insult to my common sense that people put forward theories about how ordinary fires could have caused the collapse of steel structures ...
#71. To: litus (#65)
based on claims that it was a "hollow" steel core....I didn't realize that "hollowness" could be grounds for steel melting at temperatures far below the temperature at which fuel burns.

The Achilles heel being planes impacting at over 400MPH, exploding

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

according to you these fires are oxygen deprived: 
#90. To: war (#89)
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?

Thanks for proving that you are a Moonbat...those fires are anything but oxygen deprived but I will admiot that they were chosen for a certain commonality... 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? I would imagine the same reason that pressure pumps are used to get gas out of the station's holding tank and into your car.
They are.

Y'all probably should stop pickin' on war. Besides all his Obamasiah worship he probably needs to spend more time counting his money than bandying words with peons. I think he is related to Badeye and you know that Badeye needed to spend a lot of time counting his money.

#98. To: war (#92)
A more technical explanation is that black smoke indicates incomplete and inefficient combustion, where various hydrocarbons are formed and do not burn. The hottest fires are efficient fires, and they are the ones that produce no smoke at all. Sure, a pile of tires will produce lots of black smoke and will be hard to put out, but that doesn't mean it's an extremely hot fire, it means it's an inefficient fire.
Oxygen deprived that they are...
