So if thermite was used to cut the core columns, and it melts straight down (more or less), haven't you just self-debunked the notion that it was thermite in the video you showed? Do you know how far that corner was from the core columns?
.....And I look good in stripes
Hey,
I NEVER said thermite is an explosive! Why do you say that? I haven't even opined about the full nature of the PET, because I don't honestly know exactly how it was pulled off. Try this on for size, though. Therma/ite was used to cut the core columns...so that they would remove themselves in a downwardly fashion...and then they used some type of explosives on the outer grid and floors etc. Doesn't really seem all that complex to me. (Remember, we have learned that the CORE COLUMNS...were a unique feature to the twin towers...so I guess that's why they had to do a hybrid type of demolition i.e. incendiary plus explosives. Because if they would have just used explosives, than the core columns would have remained standing. See, this is also why the WTC 7 collapse looks different than the WTC 1 & 2 collapses...because the WTC 7 did NOT have any core columns

OK so if thermite (or a variant) was used to cut the core, why is you evidence of this some molten metal pouring out of a small part of the outside of the building (ie a very long way away from the core?). Also why doesn't the building collapse immediately after this molten metal is seen?
Also, how much thermite do you think caused that much molten metal? The amount of molten metal caused by a flowerpot full of thermite in the youtube clip you've referenced wouldn't even have shown up at the scale of the WTC clip.
ETA:
Lastly, how would the people that planned this hybrid method have any certainty that it would work to bring the towers down?
http://www.zombo.comHey,
Thanks so much for writing. This first one is to Merc and Maccy - As far as why the molten metal was so far from the internal core columns....well, a plane did fly virtually through the entire building at those floors, so who is to say what that impact did to the core columns on those floors. You know...what I mean?
Also, I'm not sure how much therma/ite was used...but obviously if there were pools under the rubble, than quite a bit. Also, something I wanted to mention....we talked about those molten pools...and I said that a hydrocarbon fire...wouldn't of had enough oxygen under the rubble to burn for 6 weeks. Well, another cool thing about thermate...is that it produces it's own oxygen...it can even burn underwater.
Cheerios.

Oh yea...in reference...to molten metal...splashing and jumping about...due to extreme heat. Just think about how the molten metal in a volcano acts. You know how it jumps up and splashes and other cool stuff like that. HOT HOT HOT !
Cheerios.
Lastly, you can see from the youtube clip that although thermite burns at a very high temperature, it does so extremely quickly and doesn't actually generate vast amounts of heat. The car is undamaged away from the immediate vicinity of the thermite. Once they blow the petrol tank, the buring of the fuel actually causes more damage to the car as a whole.
Even with insulation, the heat generated from a thermite reaction will dissipate too quickly to keep any kind of metal molten for more than a short period of time.
Heck, I am willing to admit in an open forum that you have helped me see the truth of some of the events surrounding 9/11/2001. I've not had much reason to investigate the horrors of that day before, but you gave me the incentive to do just that.If there are any of you out there who have awaken to the truth of 9/11 but feel uncomfortable expressing that view in the open forum, for fear of being ridiculed...please drop me a PM...and let me know what you think about my posts...and YOU HAVE MY WORD, I will keep your identity private.
Thanks.

Well, exactly though...if the therma/ite is attached right on the steel beam...it only needs to generate an extreme amount of heat in a very small and condensed area. Just like you said the hood of the car was damaged right below the centre of the reaction...so to will a steel beam be affected if directly exposed to the full magnitude of a therma/ite reaction.
I do know what you mean; you mean that your notion requires much more thermite than you initially had thought through. I mean, if the plane knocked that much thermite all the way to the corner of the building, and yet there was still enough left to cut the columns, you are talking a level of redundancy to this plan that is staggering.Hey,

6 weeks worth of melting thermite. You have now multiplied your requirement tremendously. You saw how quickly the flowerpot went through its fuel; how much thermite would be required to melt the columns (after surviving dispersal by the plane), then burn for an additional several weeks?Also, I'm not sure how much therma/ite was used...but obviously if there were pools under the rubble, than quite a bit. Also, something I wanted to mention....we talked about those molten pools...and I said that a hydrocarbon fire...wouldn't of had enough oxygen under the rubble to burn for 6 weeks.

So...everything molten is metal. Gotcha.Oh yea...in reference...to molten metal...splashing and jumping about...due to extreme heat. Just think about how the molten metal in a volcano acts. You know how it jumps up and splashes and other cool stuff like that. HOT HOT HOT !![]()
After today, there is no longer any question in my mind; you do not believe any of this. I was wondering before, but after claims of "no airplane parts", of precision cuts by thermite (despite your own video "evidence"!), and the rest, it is very clear. No one is that stupid.Cheerios.
Hydrocarbon fire can burn for years underground, in coal mine spoil heaps for example where the material is a lot tighter packed than the debris of the WTC and the potential oxygen supply lower.Also, I'm not sure how much therma/ite was used...but obviously if there were pools under the rubble, than quite a bit.

That's A LOT of TUMS my man!
Also, I'm not sure how much therma/ite was used...
Perhaps they would take up my other idea at least??? You know the one where they bring Alex Jones on the show as "Buster's" stand-in.
Hey it's national tv...and Alex is an attention whore! It may just work. I don't know about any of you but I'd pay big money to see Alex ride the "border slingshot"!!
Alex: "911 was an inside joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :SPLAT: buh!"
