Read the NIST report.

Dr. Greening has taught me a great deal about the science of 9/11. To be fair, he said that both Ace and I were abusing science. He didn't offer any estimates of our comparative culpability.

Sorry for the Side-Questions, Ron. When can we see the
debates in europe. :"> Never mind - we europeans are just
a bunch of inquisitive rascals.![]()
Patience, Oliver. I'll post the information as soon as I have it.
Metal dusting is the catastrophic high temperature carburization of steel which leads to the disintegration of Fe, Ni and Co-based alloys with the creation of particles containing iron and carbon, mostly as cementite Fe3C.
Thank you for the quick response.Yes, the mass of iron would stay the same,

Yes, the mass of iron would stay the same, and I've previously told Mr. Baker he is out to lunch on his "missing steel" ideas. However, I am still amazed how my comments are misconstrued by some JREFers!
Sorry, once again!

Now Gravy, why don't you try this question on for me:
If there were really "fires" burning in the rubble for 100 days, why was the "smoke" bluish-white, when the smoke from the office fires was black?

Chemical bond energy is energy that is "liberated" (made available) when the chemical bonds form. Breaking chemical bonds, in other words, costs energy, it doesn't liberate energy. That's why we call a stronger chemical bond "stronger," because it takes more energy to break it. "Liberating chemical bond energy by breaking bonds" makes no more sense than "liberating gravitational potential energy by raising heavy weights higher."
However, if the military has discovered a way of reversing this rule, and thereby liberating energy by breaking chemical bonds, then all the world's energy problems are solved. Since we already know how to get energy by forming stronger chemical bonds (such as, by combining hydrogen and oxygen into H20), and now they've figured out how to get energy by breaking chemical bonds, unlimited free energy is now available. Even if the dustification mechanism doesn't release any usable energy, even if all it does is reduce the energy needed to break chemical bonds, it still amounts to unlimited free energy over the whole cycle.
Hooray! This possibility solves the world's energy problems too! Direct mass to energy conversion. Nuclear energy without radiation. Levitating cities, personal jet-cars, Mars bases, thermostats at 75 degrees F all winter, basement lights that don't even need off switches, here we come!
Even better still! Free energy without any messy chemical bond rearranging or nuclear reactions, just a gift from a generous universe! Thank goodness we didn't believe those depressing 20th century scientists with their silly equations and useless "semiconductors" and absurd "atomic clocks" and ridiculous "lasers" and preposterous "microwaves" and all the other worthless stuff they claimed to invent based on those so-called "laws of physics."
Now, please explain why this new source of unlimited energy has, so far, only been used to fake an attack to justify a war to steal oil, oil which of course is about to become completely worthless. That makes about as much sense as inventing a time machine, and using it only to return overdue library books without paying the fine.

You got me there. We all know that the so-called "fires in the piles" were started each day at noon by ironworkers and operating engineers who were cooking lunch.
ETA: Here are some of the things that the 40,000 people who worked on them called "piles." You and I know better, right, TS?
Quite right, Frank. But you're hardly one to lecture:THIS IS NOT A GAME!
Ron,
my theory is that Fetzer is simply a pathological liar.
He knows full well that Judy Wood is not a structural engineer yet I have heard him insist that she is on at least 2 occations when he thought the interviewer didn't know any better.
Not sure if he tried that lie on you guys, but the fact that he has done it repeatedly says that he KNOWS he's lying. There's no way he doesn't.
