Blanchard Doesn't Buy Thermite Myth

[pomeroo]

This thread is not meant to stand alone. It can be integrated into any thread started by Max Photon. I asked Brent Blanchard how people who work in the demolition industry satisfied themselves that no thermite was used at the WTC complex on the day of the jihadist attacks. He replied:

"How could it have been? How was it released or applied onto the columns in a manner to cause failure? How were its degenerative qualities calculated to ensure simultaneous failure of dozens if not hundreds of columns? And why weren't there telltale characteristics found on even a single bean retrieved from the site (poor photos of demo teams burning columns with torches notwithstanding)?

Once again, no sound hypothesis thought out end-to-end, and no evidence found whatsoever.

Works for me... "

In other words, we know the 9/11 thermite theory is false because it's friggin' stupid.

So stupid, in fact, that twoofers themselves are afraid to submit it for review to anyone but fellow twoofers.

 

[cmcaulif]

Sort of off topic, but has he, or any of the other folks with explosives/CD experience that you have corresponded with ever mention thermal degradation of explosive substances?

I have found a few papers on the subject, but it would be great to have some opinions from people who actually work in CDs.

I would imagine all the termites were destroyed in the collapse.

 

[Alferd_Packer]

Actually they were eaten by the Keebler Wood's elves.

 

[Furi]

But first all the thermites gnawed through the the furniture in the Games room, causing all the billiard balls to roll down the stairwells bouncing with a Clunkity-clunk.

With their beloved Slate bed Billiard tables now ruined, it was then that the Thermite Jihad was issued, and full and merciless war was waged, Both sides taking heavy losses the wood elves held through many a tough microsecond with tough trade and political sanctions from the United Faerie Folk strengthening their resolve,

Ultimately the Wood Elves won, and with the the few remaining thermites brought to the negotiating table requiring nothing less than total surrender and a games table, the Keebler Liberation Front ( A militant Splinter group unhappy with the liberal handling of the matter ) managed using their Pixie magic willed a complicitous attack using planes on key thermite civic/commercial centres...

Brent Blanchard's paper does not address MAX-MIHOP.

* * *

Brent Blanchard wrote a paper in which he attempts to dismiss the use of thermite as a catalyst for destroying the WTC towers.

If you actually read his paper, you quickly realize that Blanchard ONLY addresses the issue from the perspective that thermite was used to heat WTC steel to its melting point, to cut or slice the steel. In other words, Blanchard only address the use of thermite as a cutting agent.

NOWHERE in Blanchard's paper does he address the use of thermite as a catalyst to merely heat the steel at impact floors to about 625 C - less than half steel's melting temperature - to HEAT-WEAKEN the steel.

Blanchard also sees it as next to impossible to devise a way to hold the thermite against the steel.

Perhaps if he understood the design of the towers, or thought about the design for five seconds, he would have seen that thermite could have easily been planted in "natural hiddy-holes" inside perimeter box columns, spandrel splice gaps, and at the "rectangular tube" formed where two floor truss top chords juxtapose at floor truss seats.

Blanchard never even discusses that thermite was also used to produce highly-visible, choregraphed fires.

Blanchard also never envisioned thermite-dusted shock-tube - or thermite fuse - as a simple, reliable ignition system.

As far as evidence of thermite is concerned, Blanchard knows - as everyone knows - that no fire affected perimeter panels from WTC2 were even collected or examined. So there is no way Blanchard can claim that there was no evidence of thermite use in or on these panels.


So kiddies, remember, Blanchard may have tackled Steven Jones and the THERMITE=CUTTING crew, but he never even touched Max Photon's MAX-MIHOP.

Sorry guys, Blanchard's paper is a sad, uncreative, bullying piece of cr@p. Only a total moron would parade that thing around.

ETA: By the way, if Blanchard would like to debate me on this thread, in front of all you simpletonians, I'd be happy to.

Perhaps if you understood the design of the towers, or thought about the design for five seconds, you would have seen that the "natural hiddy-holes" would have been welded over after the erection bolts were tightened.

I would pay to see that, because although mostly your posts are entertaining, I think you would lose, and sometimes it's nice to see the arrogance knocked out of somebody.

 

[Max Photon]

Newtons Bit erroneously claims perimeter column bolt-access-holes were welded shut.

Perhaps if you understood the design of the towers, or thought about the design for five seconds, you would have seen that the "natural hiddy-holes" would have been welded over after the erection bolts were tightened.

You are wrong.


The spandrel splice gaps were not welded over.

Nor were the "rectangular tubes" created where top chords were juxtaposed.


I assume you are saying the perimeter panel box column bolt-access-holes were welded closed after the A325 column splice bolts were tightened.

Prove it.

And while you are at it, please explain why all of the perimeter panel box columns in the debris pile show open bolt-access-holes.

Max Photon vs Brent Blanchard - Let's get ready to rumble

It would be fun.

I'd pulls his wings off.

Max,
I am sorry if this has been answered before but I am curious if you were ever in any of the WTC buildings? Did you ever see any of this first hand? Thank you and like I said sorry if it has been answered.

 

[Max Photon]

Close, but hey, have a cigar anyway.

Max,

I am sorry if this has been answered before but I am curious if you were ever in any of the WTC buildings? Did you ever see any of this first hand? Thank you and like I said sorry if it has been answered.

Afinemadness,

No, I never had a chance to be next to or inside the WTC towers or complex. The closest I ever got was probably about a mile or so away.

I have to admit I have never seen the charges in the buildings and the last time I was in the towers was on 9/6/01. I was in them often. At one time I worked in them but I left that company in 1999. I then worked in the financial industry so I was in and around the buildings on a regular basis. I just find it amazing that you could see all of the openings that were breached and know that they were filled with thermite from such a great distance away. I have to tell you there was no hint of it from inside or next to the building. I am so glad that you have the ability to see these through the shell of the building that no one in the building saw. Just think if it was not for your innate abilities we would have never know that a never before or since used process was used to create a world where people sitting in their basements with a badly used thesaurus could spout theories that have no basis in reality.

 

[T.A.M.]

I have a question. Why on gods earth (dear god am I going there) would the evil Conspirators go to all the trouble and risk of planting Thermite, designing an apparatus to do so, through out the WTCs, only to weaken the steel. Seems to me if you are gonna take the risk, you would overkill...overshoot, to make sure there was NO CHANCE OF FAILURE.

I await what I am sure will be a "fascinating" response.

[Brainster]

I pointed out at SLC long ago that the kooks often claim that the steel was in convenient 30-foot segments. But if you buy that, you've got to claim that each column was cut over 40 times. Multiply that by the 290 or so columns and you can see that over 10,000 separate cuts were required.

Simple answer is they wouldn't.

Call me crazy but wouldn't it be easier just to hijack a couple of commercial airliners and fly them into the Twin Towers at full throttle? No that would be too easy it needs to be more complex than that, lets fill the towers with incendiaries and explosives etc just to be sure, no body invloved in the execution or planning of this task will ever speak out!

It never ceases to amaze me how conspiracy theorists are seemingly incapable of taking into account the risks and problems associated with these loony controlled demolition (or related) theories.

Well of course they won't speak out, they want to keep their cushy gubment jobs...

pathetic lies of 9/11 truth, Max Photo's ideas dovetail so nice

There is zero, zip, zilch, evidence of thermite. Thermite is the #3 top idiotic idea of the WTC demise and the most pathetic idea pushed with no evidence to consider since people who took care of me died on 9/11!! (nuke #1 stupid idea, beam weapon #2, but tied with the nuke)

This false information is an assault on me! To state this garbage talk of thermite is not even funny. I expect someone to look in the eyes, imagine the thousands of eyes of the dead who you spit on with this idiotic, pathetic idea of thermite! Thermite leaves evidence, you have zero evidence of thermite and persist at pathetically pushing an idea that can't even happen except in people's minds who make up pathetic lies about 9/11! You make up lies about 9/11 and disrespect those who died on 9/11 by not being correct and not having any evidence!

So as you post your themite insanity, just think about each person falling as the buildings failed from fire; and here you are dreaming up insane ideas about 9/11, making fun of lives lost. Real good zero evidence man. Max Photo, makes fun of 9/11 with pathetic thermite lies. Cool Max, you have spewed this crap for a while, continue and confirm to me your inability to care about facts and evidence and push your insane lie of thermite; you have company in other liars from 9/11 truth.

The people of 9/11 truth and you are pathetic since you can not support your lies with facts and evidence related to the events of 9/11. Idiotic ideas and lies are spewing from you after most the world figured out 9/11 6 years ago. Pathetic. I can see UBL laughing at the sad and pathetic ideas he sees you 9/11 truth liars publishing.

Your continued talk of thermite and the other BS you spew is sick junk about 9/11. Feel real proud of yourself for pushing on of the most insane ideas on 9/11 and disrespecting others. Why do people like you make up lies after 6 years about 9/11?
