.How did the sulfur invade the grain boundary if not in a thermate reaction?
You first (it is *your* claim, right?) How would sulfur invade the grain boundary in a therm*te reaction.
Don't forget to show your work.
And what *is* your training and experience in this area again?

.The WPI experiment used compacted powder and heated the beam to 1100oC. That is totally unrealistic.
....because?
On what expertise or training do you base this assertion?

.The fires would have been put out in the collapse. The 727oC [1340oF] temperatures on the surface a few days later indicate much higher temperatures under the rubble. They had been pouring water on the pile all that time and it had rained. The supposition that smoldering debris could reach those temperatures in that time is far fetched.
How long does therm*te burn?
