A Thermite/Thermate Question

So the proof that this super duper nano alien techno thermite exists. Is that there is no proof that it exists. Because the government must keep alien technology secret for 20 years? Really?



oh and your paint chip photo is mislabeled. just so you know
 
To me the funniest part is the accusations of speculation, and then going on to make speculation. And of course about magical super duper thermite, something that is 1000x more speculative than real research.
 
As for the sounds of explosions, 118 firefighters heard explosions :eek:

In the 1993 wtc bombing , the explosion wasnt even heard by some of the other people in the building.The bomb wasnt picked up on the richter scale either.

I beleive however there is evidence of explosions in video
Though video clips of the collapses can be found all over the internet and on video releases, most people will not really hear evidence of explosions on the available footage. What most people would describe hearing from the available media is the "roar" of the buildings coming down. The main reason for this is probably because there is not much actual audio content available of the events. Most angles of the collapse are presented without any sound other than that of news anchors, reporters, interviewees, narrators, etc. speaking over-top. It is the preferred style of news-media to constantly have human voices "giving shape" to history as it unfolds. Creating meaning rather than reporting facts.

Some examples of video footage which includes audio can be found and this audio does include evidence of explosions, though it is not generally obvious for a number of reasons. Sounds of intense volume recorded at close distances will tend to overload and be distorted by the time they make it onto tape. If a very loud sound such as an explosion overloads the camera's sound circuitry and is followed very quickly by subsequent loud sounds, the individual sounds will be more difficult to identify because the shape of each sound, the attack and decay, will be masked as the audio circuits are completely saturated with signal. Results will vary depending on camera type, microphone type, specific settings, and proximity to the event. Some angles of the collapses are cut very short so they start playing only after the initiation of collapse sounds, perhaps because some videographers did not capture the first moments on tape or as a result of the news tending to only focus on the "juicy" bits in their presentations. Another problem with internet videos is that when there is sound, it is usually missing a lot of information and/or is distorted from various forms of data compression and/or sloppy transfers. Another problem with internet video in terms of close scrutiny can be audio which is encoded or played back slightly out of synch with the picture."

A: Hoboken, New Jersey, ~3.5 Km away

"With an approximate distance of 3.5 Km [footnote: map], it is the lowest frequencies which would tend to show evidence of explosions. An important aspect to this footage is the relatively quiet and unobstructed space between the towers and the camera. Furthermore, blast sounds which travel over water tend to be much less attenuated than those which travel over the ground [footnote]. The explosions are very audible though headphones or a decent full-range speaker system are needed to hear them. "

Video Evidence of Explosives Inside the WTC

local repoerts of "explosions"
http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/whattheyheard


"explosions" heard from Hoboken
http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-117738.html
–Structural engineer Dennis Kollar says, “For me the most convincing aspect that the 911 collapse was a controlled demolition is the recorded explosions on the 9/11 Eyewitness DVD.” The "recorded explosions" he's referring to are wind noise captured by the camera in Hoboken, a few miles away from the WTC. That should be staggeringly obvious to anyone who has seen footage from close to the WTC, where what would be absolutely enormous "explosions" are not captured by any microphones.
 
"As for the sounds of explosions, 118 firefighters heard explosions "

Those were explosions, not demolition charges. Had they been demolition charges those fireighters would no longer be able to hear. Demolition charges would have resulted in 120dB SPL at 1/2 a mile away. While I am sure you have no comprehension of just how loud that is, it would shatter winddows all around and people nearby would be def. It would distort the input to every camera microphone in the area. Yet none of this happened.

I think you need a better emoticon for that claim.
 
you can tell its not wind ,because the exact same sound happens when the tower collapses.Or is that the wind blowing it down .

118 firefighters who have been in fires before dont know the difference between an explosion and fire related sounds such as gas pipes etc?
you cannot debunk people hearing explosions either they did or they didnt
They DID.

Superthermite is not speculative its real :eek: so some friggin reseach its all over government website like los alamos
 
Hey folks, don't let him change the subject just because his therm*te fantasy is crumbling before his eyes. If he wants to play "name that simile", let him do so in one of the umpteen threads on that topic.

It already has, in fact it had long before GiE ever came here. All he is doing is parroting Gage who is parroting Jones. Jones had no credibility previously and his conclusions have always been totally circular and unscientific, GiE repeating them via the King of the Cardboard Boxes, Gage isn't going to chage that fact. The only reason I have bothered staying in the thread and forum is that we had a bit of chemistry (pity Apollo20 was banned he'd have loved it.) The lurkers know that GiE is spouting babble, and really there is no changing GiE's mind, after all to him Gage and Jones are infalible and unquestionable, so....

It's amazing to see the shotgun debate techniques truthers use. As soon as one of your points looks like it may just be wrong, change the subject to some other bit of 'evidence'. After 5 or 6 magical debate morphs, most people have already forgotten the initial fail.
 
Perhaps you are answering your own question (as in, the silicon came from the building).

And yet you don't see the next obvious step, that the other elements in the spheres, Fe, Al, Cu, Mn, S, were all major building components as well. Unlike what Jones' claims*, ASTM A 36 structural steel DOES have manganese in it, his claim that it has high chromium is wrong, Stainless Steel is the high chromium steel, structural steels have high manganese and low chromium, and A 36 has no Chromium. Copper, sulpher, and silicon, are all part of the steel alloy as well. Aluminium was on the outside of the steel as cladding.

He's found nothing in the samples he has that is foreign to the buildings themselves. Perhaps if he had actually found something like Boron he might start to have a case, but since that is totally missing from the WTC samples (but is a major component of military Therm*tes) and all he has is stuff that was in the WTC metal already, he's pushing the barrow up hill to try and ignore that and dream up another reason for the composition.


*To be fair I don't know if he has fixed this claim, but even if he has, he did initially make it and was wrong.

And round and round we go.
 
Never before has 1,3dimethylpropane been found in office fires before ,even ones which include computers .
Saying they were from computers was speculation .

DIPHENYL!! THE MOLECULE IS 1,3-DIPHENYLPROPANE!! THE MOLECULE YOU'RE MISCITING IS CALLED PENTANE!!!!

Jesus Pete, do you even read before you post??

And no, saying they were from computers is the logical conclusion given that such a molecule is an element expected in the combustion of plastic!!

'weve never observed it in any sampling weve ever done ' eric swartz epa

also note the molecule was in such large quantities.more than you would expect than plastic or computers.

Wrong! It was in such large quantities because of the fires, and the sheer amount of plastics that burned. The WTC fires were among the largest in history. Acres wide and stories tall!

And of couse the statement says that the EPA never observed it in any sampling they've ever done. They weren't talking about sampling a bunch of post-fire environments, they were talking about a comparison to normal pollution levels! Swartz was comparing the levels measured after the towers collapse with normal background levels! He was talking about pollution monitoring, not a study of environmental conditions after different office fires!! It's dumb to talk about Ground Zero levels in comparison with other office fires because no one's made that comparison! The sources Jones picks out most certainly do not! Swartz compares Ground Zero after the collapse and fires with pollutant levels in the absence of the towers fires:

EPA said:
In addition, the compound 1,3-diphenyl propane [1',1'-(1,3-propanediyl)bis-benzene] is found in significant concentrations. This species has not previously been reported from ambient sampling.
http://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_Report.cfm?dirEntryID=62021

"Ambient sampling". NOT comparative samples from other office fires! Even Jones realizes this, because he calls for such a study to be done. He hasn't done one himself. No one has. But yet he handwaves past the point about comparitive levels anyway, and only the foolishly dedicated buy into his argument!

the temperature of nano thermites is the same as other thermite.Its the same chemical chemical reaction !
What they are refering to is the temperature transition phase.

What you are referring to is irrelevant. As was noted so many times before in this very thread, there is zero evidence of thermite use left on the recovered steel, there is zero evidence of molten steel in the form of recovered hardened pools of it, and the eutectic erosion found would negate the possibility of thermite use because such a mix would be destroyed by a thermite reaction.

As for proof of the government using the exact type of thermite your insane ,you want them to tell the world they use the same thermite as the one found in the towers.
Its well known that advances in military technology including explosives arent realesed to the public FOR around 20 years
THE SIMPLE REASON THAT ENEMIES CAN LEARN FROM THERE NEW DEVELOPMENTS

That is sheer nonesense built up from zero supporting evidence. "Using the exact type of thermite"?? Huh? Everyone's arguing that the melting is missing. Regardless of the composition, thermite melts steel. There was no melting present.

We can only theorize how the thermite was placed and detonated.

That's called "speculation". The key reason your use of the word "theorize" is wrong is because you do not have the evidence to elevate what you're doing to that level. Even "speculation" is diplomatic; a less generous soul would call your post "bulls***ing".

But what do you expect the government to leave cutter charges and det core knowingly for people to find.

No, we'd expect evidence of whatever was used to be left over. Which is the whole point. You're retailing information about thermite, but the problem is that all your "evidence" of its use is bunk. The presence of 1,3-DPP (diPHENYLpropane) is expected. And your argument about quantity contraindicating the link to plastics is empty. That is the only source, because thermite was not present!

You must think the shadow government spooks are dumb like the normal government who messes everything up.
They obviously would have tested these cutter charges in the desert on some buildings for 'military purposes' untill they could find a way to leave ''no trace''

There is no demonstration of superior intelligence in presenting specuous arguments with no evidence as proof that the government did indeed commit such a crime.

And leaving "no trace": What?? I thought your whole argument was that the chemical signature was one such trace. Besides which, how can thermite not leave any traces of melting? Mind explaining how that's possible?

One theory is that the nano thermite was painted or sprayed like a foam, when they recently re did the fireproofing.

Now you're reaching. If thermite covered the entire lengths of the steel supports, it wouldn't have simply separated into 30 foot long pieces like it did, it would've fallen apart into all sorts of sizes.

And besides, where are the hardened pools of iron? That's still missing, no matter what contortion you make to argue thermite.

Furthermore, how in God's name would that amount of thermite burning not be visible prior to the collapse?

This wouldnt leave any evidence.

Neither would an absence of thermite to begin with. Start cutting with Occam here.

Steven jones has found semi reacted and unreacted paint which has the same chemical composition for thermite .And guess what when a laser was pointed at it it exploded violently much better than normal thermite did.

Steven Jones did no such laser experiment. And given the fact that the facade of the Towers was aluminum, given that any steel rusts, and given that the majority components of thermite is aluminum and a metal oxide, how could he have missed finding the "same chemical composition for thermite"?? Want to look at my previous posts about finding water in the ocean?

I know what your all going to say but guess what ,Paint manufacturers dont make Explosive paint :D

No. I'm going to say that there's no molten steel to validate Jones's empty claim of thermite use.


That proves nothing.

Not only did your whole post not help your argument any, it proves that you simply don't know what you're talking about. If thermite was truly reacting along the lenghts of the steel, why was this not noted on the recovered steel? You completely ignore the issue I've brought up more than once: Any chemical analysis in the absence of gross physical evidence of it's use is worthless - and I don't see how the government could experiment until they discovered thermite that melts without leaving signs of melting :rolleyes:.

This topic is dead. All your appeals to the contrary get nowhere. Everything you point out is either completely made up or is an expected effect from the towers collapse. You've not brought up a single compelling argument, and on top of that, you've not brought up anything new either.

And you can't even identify the molecule properly!! Lesson: Here's "1,3-dimethylpropane", otherwise known as "pentane":


And here's the molecule Jones talked about - 1,3-diphenylpropane:

Get at least one thing right for once.

Explosions are something that happen in ALL fires. Demolition charges do NOT. And you will notice that none of the fire fighters reported demolition charges, just explosions.

And super DUPER thermite is real too! Just do some research. Look up the hush-a-boom project.

LOL!!!!!

Homeland, please feel free to present your explanation of how explosions can only be demolition charges. And remember, these explosions were not demolition charges since they cannot be confused. Maybe you can explain the magic involved that made these demolition charges so quiet? How about the magic that makes them occur sporadically throughout the day and yet none at the moment of impact. And perhaps how the collapse looked and sounded absolutely nothing what so ever like a controlled demolition. Of course you go into the thermite, but then that destroys the whole explosions argument.

So you have two choiceds in your argument. The superduper magical thermite, or demolition charges. Both arguments destroy each other, yet both are needed to argue for controlled demolition. Quite a pickle that puts you in. Not to mention the complete lack of any physical evidence to support such vast speculation.
 
''Various metals(most notably iron and lead" were melted during the wtc event'' RJ LEE report.

The temperatures required to melt steel are greater than the available sources of fire for the wtc so therefore
an accelerent had to be used
If its not thermite then what is it? i may have to start beleiving the nuclear or directed beam theories :rolleyes:

you claim there no residue funny i find alot ,comparisons to the usage of nano thermite would be interesting, i beleive the nano thermite would make a much cleaner cut than commercial thermite.Due to its high intensity reaction and its small scale particle could make a very clean cut.
Also in the article i gave you before they were talking about the thermite creating a Jet of hot air which could cut through anything concrete ,steel etc,
Could this method explain some of the cleaner cut steel peices?

As a result of the conversion of the defense sectors of domestic industry, new techniques have
recently been developed and recommended for the dismantling of metalwork and concrete structural
elements during the decommissioning of NPPs, among which are the thermite cutting technique, the
thermal gas-jet cutting technique, the abrasive steam cutting technique, the heat shock decontamination
and dismantling technique, and so forth. A brief description of the new techniques developed
for dismantling the metalwork and concrete structural elements of nuclear reactors is presented
below.

Astaneh-Asl saw a charred I-beam from WTC Building 7--a 47-story skyscraper that collapsed late in the afternoon of 9/11, even though no plane hit it. "The beam, so named because its cross-section looks like a capital I, had clearly endured searing temperatures. Parts of the flat top of the I, once five-eighths of an inch thick, had vaporized."

This is a completely incorrect and false statement. not to mention that the one thing that can be certain is that thermite is absolutely not in any way capable of producing that melted metal. But please Energy, feel free to show us an experiment that demonstrates how super duper uber thermite can leave steel melted for weeks.

What's funny is that as absurd as the nuclear argument is, it's not nearly as absurd as the superduper thermite magic one you have been making.

you claim there no residue funny i find alot ,comparisons to the usage of nano thermite would be interesting, i beleive the nano thermite would make a much cleaner cut than commercial thermite.Due to its high intensity reaction and its small scale particle could make a very clean cut.

I am sure you would believe that. But we have to deal with reality and science. Not something that someone with no expertise and who believes in every conspiracy theory wants to believe. Now what evidence have you provided for this nano thermite? So far none. But we can scientifically prove that the buildings absolutely would have collapsed just form the fire and damage alone and even your great Mr Gage has had to confess this. So to use thermite just to get a building to fall faster even though it's going to fall anyways? How stupid would that be?

This in no way proves this was the case in the WTC. For that you would need actual evidence. All you are doing is starting with a pre-determined conclusion that there was a CD and ust looking for anything that could get you to that conclusion. As opposed to a real investigation where you examine the evidence and make a determination.

see my post 163


I DONT WANT TO CHANGE THE TOPIC ,its you people that rapidly change the topic whenever i bring up hard evidence.

I wanted to get back to 1,3 di

1.noone saying its proof of thermite but it does correspond to the other findings.
2.the abundunce of it
3.Noone has ever found it before in a office fire if you can find me a office fire that has produced it ill change my mind

You guys always state how science works on experiments etc.But you just

Assume that it comes from computers
Assume that the iron microspheres come from fly ash
Assume that the sulphidiztion of steel came from Batterys

And then you accuse steven jones of assumtionism ,when he created a test to see if thermite could create the products above

Untill i see evidence of these three things im afraid no matter how much talking well do we wont find out wether this was an inside thing or not
