Any proof of this?

[kookbreaker]

I was told that S Jones has come out publicly and said he tested some WTC steel and found traces of thermite. Anyone know if this is true? I cannot find any link, and the guy that told me this just sent me some podcast that I tried to listen to for a few minuets but had to shut off.

So what is the scoop? And how did this guy steal the steel?

The 'traces of thermite' , as he calls it, are sulfur traces on the metal. To some, this might sound important, but it isn't. Here is why:

1) No commercial or military thermite uses sulfur anymore.
2) Chemicals that use sulfur have a rather distinct odor. I have yet to hear reports of the whole trade center stinking of rotton eggs.
3) There are many mundane sources for sulfur.

Much ado about nothing.

Sounds like is is the info from the report, rather than his own investigation, then.

You are correct in your points Just adding my second to it

Aluminium oxide is harldy uncommon in nature. Soil contians a fair bit of it to start with.

And quite frankly, if you crash a few tens-of-thousands of pounds of --ahem--Aluminum airplane--ahem--into a building at, say, 750 fps, you might find aluminum oxide around that area, too

Yeah, true.

But still, part of my point stands. IF you find traces of sulfer, to use his claim, without finding large traces of aluminum oxide in the same area, it doesn't support thermite.

Aluminum oxide by itself is not enough...you need more than just its presence to conclude thermite. But without aluminum oxide, you can rule it out.

I see nowhere in here anything that states that he personnally tested the steel from the WTC rubble:

There is another reason why trace amounts of sulfur may not be important as well:

Most steel and iron alloys contain trace amounts of sulfur to begin with. So unless the amounts detected were significantly above the mean sulfur content of the steel alloy used in the beams/columns, the discovery of a trace amount is pretty meaningless.

The claim stems from a pocast or something. The link is apparently here: http://www.prisonplanet.tv/audio/070606jones.htm

The claim is sulfur and trace of thermite.

Not impressive.

What a contrast between these two Jones'!

He doesn't state that he personally manipulated and tested the metal from the rubble. His research is based on other people's research.

Gypsum drywall is CaSO4.2H2O, which is 19% sulfur by weight. Gypsum wallboard was the third most used material in the WTC towers, behind steel and concrete.

Yep that is the kind of link I was looking for. So there is sulfur in the drywall, and the proof that Jones talks about is sulfur residue. Thats too funny.

Kook- yes that is the podcast I was talking about. I didn't realize it was Alex Jones that was doing the interview. I don't think I have ever heard him talk, just heard of him. He sounds a lot like Rush Limbaugh (not that I listen to him either).

So I guess I can put this silly claim to rest.

Very interesting Huntsman.

What did your research tell you, jenabell?

Abbyas you knew it was me from the get up and go.......I feel so proud of you..
