... Until the combustible materials in those pockets were exposed to a fresh source of oxygen, the only heat generating ignition, would be produced by substances which produced their own oxygen and were exposed to their required ignition temperature.
In the case of the thermitic red chips, 430 C would achieve this.

Thermite does not ignite at 430, paper does.
What a load of junk! The fact is the lack of oxygen is why the fires persited for weeks. Thermite burns quickly, and fires lasting weeks proves it was not thermite. You keep proving you are full of nonsense.
In my wood stove, if I let the fire have lots of oxygen, the wood burns quickly, and the heat goes up the chimney; if I restrict the flow of oxygen the wood burns slowly, the wood stove temperature rises to over 1,000 F, and the wood load burns for 8 hours, instead of 20 minutes. In the debris pile, fires were burn with little air for weeks.
The contents of the WTC towers would burn with more heat energy than 80,000 Tons of Thermite. What is the thermite for? You know why NIST says
NIST says the heat energy of the jet fuel was insignificant (don't tell that to the people burned to death by the jet fuel), and this is due to the fact the office fires in the WTC towers were 7 to 9 times the heat energy of the jet fuel. The jet fuel was equal in heat to 315 tons of Thermite in each jet, this is call insignificant.
HOW MUCH Thermite is in your delusional version of 911 events? Make my day, define how much thermite was used. Show your work, show the math; Please.
Thus we have the heat energy of the contents of the WTC burning could be equal in heat energy to over 44,000 Tons of Thermite. Why would you bring thermite to an office fire?
The insane part of themite comes when you realize there is zero evidence of thermite at the WTC. No lumps of iron, zero evidence. How did you get your TONS of Thermite to disappear? Does your fantasy stop at the claim, or can you explain the thermite scam from start to finish?
Using thermite to do in the WTC towers would be discovered on 911, and during cleanup if you were slow. To cover-up using thermite would mean thousand of people would be in on it at the clean up level. Thermite is as dumb as nukes, and beam weapons. Why is thermite the choice? Because Jones can do thermite demonstrations in front of people and with his nice talk, fool people who insist on being fooled with thermite lies. Jones can't demo a nuke, and Jones can demo a beam weapon, but saying a beam weapon destroyed the WTC is easier to see as being insane, the thermite seems to fool people who don't know jet fuel has ten times the heat energy; Thermite is not rich in energy, a big reason we don't use themite in our cars; office contents beat thermite in heat energy.
... to weaken steel, an office fire would be sufficient. The jet aircraft on 911 delivered 66,000 pounds of jet fuel to the WTC. Those 33 Tons of Jet fuel burn and release the heat energy of 315 tons of Thermite. The terrorists brought the heat energy of 315 tons of Thermite using 33 tons of jet fuel. Why would you bring thermite to weaken steel when you already have the fuel needed in place. NIST says the jet fuel, the jet fuel fires were insignificant compared to the office fires. To equal the heat energy of the office fires you have to bring over 2,200 to 2,800 TONS of thermite. How did you get it in the building? To equal the possible heat energy in the contents which could burn after the collapse added to the fires before, you need over 44,000 TONS of thermite.
It has been 10 years. When will you find evidence to backup your fuzzy claims? Where is the melted steel? Where are the products of all that themite? Tons of melted iron, were is it? When will you tell someone, like 60 minutes, 20/20, etc. Why is Jones not on 60 minutes? Because he is a nut on 911 issues, just a crazy old guy, like me, but he is more personable, people believe his crazy claims; albeit less than 0.01 percent of all engineers. If you were an engineer, you wouild be a 0.01 percent-er.
Who was sprinkling the thermite on the fire for weeks?
