Niels Harrit’s latest interview done today 7/9 on Russia Today:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RNyaoYR3y0&feature=player_embedded

http://www.russiatoday.com/Politics/2009-07-09/Did_nano-thermite_take_down_the_WTC.html

He seems to have moved away from seeing nano thermite as the stuff that brought down the three WTC buildings, and now thinks that besides the hundreds of tons of nano thremite, that also hundreds of tons of conventional explosives were used.

A few quotes:

Russia Today interview 7/9 2009 said:
Niels Harrit: “We do not know if the thermite that we have found is the same thermite which has been used for melting the beams. It’s very, very possible that different varieties were used, and I personally am certain that conventional explosives were used too, in abundance.”

Russia Today: “When you say “in abundance,” how much do you mean?”

Niels Harrit: “Tons! Hundreds of tons! Many, many, many tons!”

Within the last few weeks Niels Harrit again put forward the claim (on the Danish engineers forum) that bomb sniffing dogs was removed from WTC, two weeks before 9/11. This seems do have been done so that he could change his nano story, to include conventional explosives.

What’s new to me in this interview, besides the 100 of tons of conventional explosives, is the following claim:

Russia Today interview 7/9 2009 said:
Niels Harrit: “And actually, when there is a fire in the United States, which is suspicious, or which is violent, or which is unexpected, according to some regulation, you should look for thermite. Because you can use it for arson; and if you want to burn your house, this is the way to do it. You cook up a thermite reaction, and you go on vacation, and you can trigger it with your cell phone at a long distance, if you wish. So, this is routine for the FBI to look for remains of thermite. This they do very frequently actually. But they didn’t do it this time.”

Does anybody have any comments on this?

Gee, and I was just going to use some old paint and tarps...Does the FBI regularly investigate house fire arsons? Are there some fires which are not violent? Are fires in general "expected"? Can this guy get any further out there?

He's insane. Hundreds of tons of explosives in addition to all the superdupernanotherm*te? :rolleyes: And this psycho expects normal people to take him seriously?

I wanted to be the first to link to the relevant article on the incomparable Mike Williams's site:

His comments are in keeping with Jones, who when faced with the REAL SCIENCE, and the prospect of hundreds of layers of the red/grey chips needed to raise the heat of the columns sufficiently, in a classic truther move, uprooted the goal posts and stated that the thermite (which they have been promoting as the key component used in the CD of the towers) was merely used in "fuses" for traditional explosives in the CD of the towers.

I do not understand, where is your logic point of view.
You just want to bash somehow Dr. Harrit - so you make up some cheap ad hominem personal attacks. This is the dirty face of you jref-"debunkers".

The estimates 1,000 pounds of explosive used in the 1993 bombing was heard by everyone all over the 24 acre WTC complex.

Nobody heard anything like that on 9/11/2001.

I think Niels Harrit and his friends knows, that it would be some what of a loud bang with that much explosive, which is why they are so unclear when it comes to the nano thermite, was it used as explosive or cutting/melting device?!?

Now with his new claim, that also hundreds of tons of conventional explosives being involved, it simply gets good old fashion silly.
 
Sigh, I almost feel like sticking "Udvalgene vedrørende Videnskabelig Uredelighed"* on him. The paper alone should be enough to prompt some heavy criticism, let alone him going out and using his credentials to promote this crap.

If they could go after Bjørn Lomborg, they sure as hell should get up Harrits tail pipe.

1. Some how? He gives lots of reason to bash him, I do not need to dig or hunt for it.
2. No personal attacks, he is keeping in line with the Woo...that is all.
3. If revealing the ridiculousness of the pseudoscience put forth by these "researchers" these "scientists" is the "dirty face", then hey call me filthy face.

I'm a tax payer in Denmark, and the Danish universities are all public funded. In other words I'm paying his salary. I think it is my obligation, as a taxpayer, to make sure the public knows who and what they are funding. He is using both his university title and the Copenhagen University logo in his truth movement work.

In my mind he is absolutely free to think, say and publish anything he wants, but I am also complete free to disagree with him and to oppose his work, as done on this forum.

Which really doesn't make any sense. If he means "fuse" in the "light the blue touch paper and run like Hell" sense, waterproof fuse with controlled and predictable burning rates has been available for decades. I can remember buying the stuff at a magic shop on Frankford Ave. in Philly back in the '70s, for use in making smoke bombs (the ingredients for which were also available at the same shop). Cooking up your own homebrew fuse with sooper-sekrit NWO nano-thermite is foolish, unnecessary and a recipe for failure.

If he means it in the sense of "detonator", he forgets that blasters don't set off high explosives by means of heat- instead, a small amount of a sensitive explosive is used (sometimes in conjunction with a charge of a less-sensitive but more powerful explosive as an "amplifier") to produce a shock wave which detonates the main charge.

Insensitivity to heat is a virtue in a modern high explosive, be it civilian or military, which the explosives industry has worked hard to build into their products.

Trying to make and use a blasting cap out of themite would most likely produce an explosive charge ruined by melting or chemical decomposition.
 
What's the point of this "nano thermite" if conventional explosives are used?

This is ridiculous

cause its all a fantasy
actually he said it in an interview right after the paper was released
so i think this was his assumption the whole time

My late mother used to say "never argue with small children or the insane." Since Mr. Harrit isn't posting to this thread to defend his nutty ideas, other posters are left to determine whether to argue with his insanity, or just point it out.
