That statement is too general to be accorded much in the way of credibility. While the construction specification might be considered useful for showing how sturdy the Twin Towers were, they do not provide an accurate basis for the visible process of dustification that was seen, witnessed, felt and heard.
Your quoted, unsupported speculation is hereby refuted:

Your use of generalization in order to describe what is seen in one photo is laughably imprecise and totally outclassed by Dr. Wood's complete presentation of the proof of DEW.
However, even as shown, your photo simply confirms the flatness of GZ and the total absence of 242 stories of building consisting in WTC 1,2 and 3. As to the latter, WTC3, the building was so completely pulverized, annihilated and, yes, dustified, that it has not ever even been so much as given an honorable mention in terms of investigative effort, other than by Dr. Judy Wood.
You are, in fact, blatantly incorrect:

Flat as a pancake; and, note the confirmation that it was on 9/11/01, before 5:21PM, as WTC 7 can be seen standing in the background, right next to the flat expanse.

You will see that they are still in multi-storey pieces. This is also a clue as to what brought them down. There is clearly no damage to the column segments themselves. They are only damaged at the joints. The welds have obviously broken. There are only a very few mechanisms by which this can be done.
1. They can be tilted past their design limits.
2. A horrendously strong vibration could be set up in the steel.
3. The entire core area could have been so battered by the faling debris that it set up a mechanical resonnance in the columns which snapped them apart at the welds.
The welds on these columns are remarkably shallow, given the weight that they held in place. Much of the strength and ability of the towers to absorb lateral motion depended on everything being unified and in precise balance.
When the core spires finally fell, they can be seen to oscillate as they break apart. This is a clear sign of a mechanical resonnance at work.
It has abosultely nothing to do with DEW.
ExactlyWhat we have here is complete falsification of Wood's claim that "all the steel at the WTC was dustified".
...
Unless the crazy old bat can describe what sort of energy her weapon projected, she is just farting in the wind...
...the visible process of dustification that was seen, witnessed, felt and heard...
This alone should make any serious researcher doubt the "dustification" hyothesis.
And while we are at it: By what physical, but non-mechanical process can solid steel be dustified? All methods that I know of are mechanical in nature, such as milling, grinding, shredding.
Welding fume could account for a great percentage of the sphereules as well. You never get it all out of a steel-framed building, and there was a lot of welding involved in the towers.
That some of the sphereules contained a lot of silicon is consistant with its being fly ash, but it could also be from sparks generated in grinding with an abrasive wheel.
Assuming an actual DEW weapon, I would expect it to produce heat, either as a laser-type beam,
or some sort of vibrations that would break up the crystaline structure of the metals, perhaps by magnetism.
But lasers would all leave a trace behind and anything that could vibrate the steels into dust would produce an amazing ringing sound. Obviously, none such were observed.
..... Yet analyses of dust collected in the immediate neighbourhood (Deutsche Bank Building, across the street, sampled by J.R. Lee Group) shows NO steel dust, when it should have been a major propoprtion (on the order of 30%) of the dust mass.
This alone should make any serious researcher doubt the "dustification" hyothesis.
Lioy et al sampled drifted dust in 3 covered locations very shortly after 9/11 as part of a study into possible long-term health effects. They found primarily fibrous materials, pulverised gypsum and comminuted concrete products, totalling close to 100%
linky
Cherry Avenue sample. The Cherry Avenue sample is mainly composed of construction debris (including cement, vermiculite, plaster, synthetic foam, glass fragments, mineral wool fibers, paint particles,
glass fibers, metals, calcite grains, and paper fragments), quartz grains, low-temperature combustion material (including charred woody fragments), and metal flakes.
Hm. I have seen some of the photo series where in the first image we see some steel amid dust, and in the last we see the dust still lingering after the steel has fallen. I realize that you and Dr. Wood have made yourselves believe that these are images of steel being "dustified". Very well. You may believe whatever you want.
But: I am not aware of any evvidence that
...the visible process of dustification that was felt by anyone
...the visible process of dustification that was heard by anyone
What would it feel like? What would it sound like? Who has felt or heard that visible process?
And while we are at it: By what physical, but non-mechanical process can solid steel be dustified? All methods that I know of are mechanical in nature, such as milling, grinding, shredding.
Can you point me to the page on Dr. Judy Wood's website that elucidates that bit? Surely she has invoked some physical principle here, or cited any references.
And lastly: Where did all the steel dust go? Various agencies, both governmental and private, have analysed the dust generated by the WTC event of 9/11, and reported their findings. By and large, the bulk of dust particles can be attributed to one of the following classes:
- anorganic compounds typical for concrete, drywall and fireproofing (incl. asbestos)
- organic materials
As for metals, traces of previously melted metals such as lead, zinc and others are ubiquous. Iron appears in traces as rust, or, more abundantly, as microspheres, which is a typical find after building conflagrations and indicative of the heat of fires. Such iron microspheres are also abundant in concrete, as a product of the production of cement, wehre flyash is frequently used - the source of the microspheres.
What was generally NOT found was unburned, uncorroded iron or steel particles. Because of their high density, such dust particles should have been mostly deposited very near, if not on, Ground Zero. Yet analyses of dust collected in the immediate neighbourhood (Deutsche Bank Building, across the street, sampled by J.R. Lee Group) shows NO steel dust, when it should have been a major propoprtion (on the order of 30%) of the dust mass.
This alone should make any serious researcher doubt the "dustification" hyothesis.
It is baffling, when Wood and her acolytes bleat on and on about using "observational data" to help conclude what happened on 9/11, that they then have absolute blindness when shown pictures such as GlennB posted above. It is worth reposting them below:-

Story, end of.

Nope, your claim is false. Go to drjudywood.com and look up the facts.
You can actually count the steel beams that remain if you look carefully at the photo.
