I think I am missing something obvious here...

If a hydrogen device was set in sub-basement 3, focused up the freight elevator shaft, how did the destruction "Wave" start at the top? Did I miss where he explains this?

If an H-Bomb was used anywhere in the WTC, there'd be no footage or anything because most of the NYC would have been evaporated.

Fusion bombs (such as the H-Bomb) are up to 1000x more powerful than conventional nukes. An H-bomb wouldn't be "augmented" with thermite, that's like augmenting a tank's 120mm cannon with a slingshot.

well put, someday soon I think we're going to run out of possible theories.
Theres another now saying the planes which hit the wtc were actually holographs!

Absolutely NONE of what you say in this post is true according to many diverse sources.

mini yeild fusion devices are very real... sorry, but you are just wrong this time. I am NOT advocting this Fusion Bomb Theory as correct, just reading it like everything else.

Research and read before you make a fool of yourself.

I do not agree that an "H Bomb" was used, but the reasons being presented and your agreement with them.. you are just plain WRONG.

Please READ prior to "debunking". TIA

Dear Astygia:

You’re thinking in terms of old-style “dirty” atom-bomb triggered thermonuclear weapons. Times are a changing.

Unfortunately, when it comes to our newest hydrogen bombs things aren’t the way they used to be. Back in the good ol’ days (ca. 15 years ago) we still needed a conventional atom bomb to trigger the fusion reaction of a hydrogen bomb. Therefore hydrogen bomb explosions always had to be HUGE! Well, nowadays we can activate the nuclear fusion of hydrogen through various other means, e. g. high energy lasers. Which means we can make hydrogen bombs as small or as large as we like. We now can build nukes the size of a cherry-filled-olive! The Russians know this. The Chinese know this. Which is why neither of them will interfere militarily with whatever we do. We’ve got an entirely new set of weapons in our quiver.

Because our latest generation of thermonuclear weapons is “water-based” they’re considered “clean”. And when they’re small in size, some decision makers don’t even consider them to be nukes anymore. The key components are two forms of heavy water; deuterium (non-radioactive) and tritium (radioactive). The reaction releases alpha particles and neutrons.

However, the alpha radiation (alpha particles) coming from a pure hydrogen bomb is difficult to measure. The common garden variety Geiger counters used for civil defense don’t cut the mustard. Alpha particles are the nuclei of a helium atom (two neutrons and two protons) without electrons. They will eventually pick up two electrons from somewhere — and if they get them from your lungs then you are in for a lot of “pain”.

Although alpha particles are stopped by a few inches of air, a piece of paper, skin or some other minimal shielding, they are EXTREMELY dangerous if they get INSIDE a living organism. E. g as dust on the surface of lungs or mixed with food and incorporated into cell structures where they can wreak all sorts of havoc — just like their 'long legged' cousins beta and gamma. Alpha particles are highly ionizing, and can do terrible damage to living cells. It’s because they only travel short distances that they are so hard to detect. Alpha-type Geiger detectors have a very delicate film on them. They almost have to touch the object to detect the alpha output. And if they actually do touch an alpha source, they become useless until they are cleaned.

Further facts indicative of the use of nuclear weapons on 9-11:

1. It took 100 days to extinguish the fires at the WTC sites. There was — literally — a lake of molten steel at the bottom of the foundation pit beneath the bedrock.

2. NASA’s thermal survey of 16-Sep-2001 reported rubble temperatures as high as 1377 deg F four days after the “attacks”. FOY aluminum melts at 1220 deg F.

3. The thermonuclear explosions happened — out of sight – in the basement of the WTC buildings. And because those buildings were massive structures of concrete and steel, the blasts behaved essentially as all underground blasts do. They don’t show mushroom shaped fireballs. The neutrons vaporize all dense materials into a giant cloud of dust, long before the (relatively small) blast and heat waves arrive.

Dear Doubting Thomases:

The evidence is in plain view for everyone to see. It’s called the countless pictures and films made of ALL the 9-11 events. Call it the “Zapruder film festival” if you will.

The inner cores of the WTC skyscrapers were — literally — vaporized by the neutron volley coming from the nukes placed in the bottom of the elevator shafts, along with the five and a half inch thick steel reinforced concrete floor slabs and pretty much everything else inside the buildings except for some light-weight objects such as paper documents. The “magic” is that high-energy neutrons are invisible to the naked eye (and CNN) and yet they can instantly superheat dense substances such as steel causing them to “evaporate” (sublimate, i.e. convert directly from their solid state to a gaseous form). Of course anything containing water will instantly explode into molecularly small pieces as well (this includes concrete and “biologicals” such as people) — leaving no fragments to be found.

Depressingly, academia and even renown experts in the fields of materials research and engineering have seem to forgotten — or never really understood — how basic materials behave.

E. g. take yourselves a piece of concrete and drop it from a ten story building and see what happens. By the time it hits the ground it will have accelerated to top speed. See if it breaks into “talcum powder” — you instinctively already know it won’t. The gravitational energy is way too small to do that. And steel, especially mild steel typically does not break under gravitational stress — it bends. This can be observed at any junk yard. So grab yourselves a coat-hanger out of the closet and experiment with it to see what it takes to break it into little bitty pieces (let alone get it to “disappear into thin air” altogether). And no, it makes no difference, small scale or large. In principal these substances should behave the same — in a skyscraper or your backyard, in a research lab or in the field.

Greetings,
The Wizard In The Woods.

As always, BSB posts well.

To be fair, I'll gladly concede that there's no way of knowing how advanced our arsenal is. But I still am confident that. if not impossible, it's highly unlikely that nuclear weapons of any sort were used in the towers, given the lack of nuclear effects in the area, namely EMP.

I think the main issue with these theories is how they seem to evolve. There are a lot of examples, which I can comfortably call evidence, that point towards demolotions. However, there is no evidence of a nuclear weapon.

Finding ways to make a theory work, versus basing a theory from evidence, are two different things.

Which is a big reason I can't be sure of anything with those collapses. Really I was just trying to start a discussion on the items I mentioned, not like I'm sticking hard and fast to anything here. But it does seem unusual for any kind of explosive or crushing force or etc. to so thoroughly destroy so much freaking concrete, and yet papers fly around intact, or at worst, just charred from fire. It appeared as if very little was even so much as bent.

This topic represents the kind of stuff that goes beyond simply disputing the official line, and showing inadequacies in that, and actually gets us looking from a more purely scientific (not so much political anymore, imo, as any simple argument about CD at the WTC accomplishes that easily enough) point of view, trying to explain what we saw as accurately as possible.

Regardless of whether a nuclear device was used, the issues I pointed out in my last post are still unanswered by any commonly-accepted collapse mode, in my opinion. Maybe these sorts of threads aren't that practical to the movement (probably work in the opposite direction for seeming so ridiculous), but I at least think it's interesting. And I think we owe something towards trying to find the most comprehensive theory of happened there anyway, if we're going to spend so much time on here in the first place, you know? There must be some explanations that work.

Thanks for posting. Although this holds true to a degree, it's not entirely factual. Al Queda was created by US to combat invading Russian armies in Afghanistan, meaning they do exist. This is coming from someone who's lost family to them.

I'm sorry but if the so called hydrogen bombs exploded in the underground area, you think the building be collapsing by gravitational pull of the whole building like we have seen in common demoliton of buildings. The twin towers, the destruction was starting at the top where the impact areas are occuring.

A good cause can be made for a small nuclear weapon being used in the basement. In the upper level some kind of cutting charge had to be used to cause the downward motion. Maybe the extra power of a small nuke device in the basement would cause an upward movement to ensure implosion.

Also in the basement was all the melted metal that lasted for days. What was the status of radioactivity in the area? Not that I trust the government to tell the truth at all.

we had sores—some Firefighters I know still have these horrific sores all over their body, our hair fell out, eye infections, shortness of breath, Adult-onset Asthma, chronic coughs, tiredness, extreme fatigue, cardiac symptoms, heart palpitations where you never had any before, irritability, a lot of symptoms that were consistent with neurotoxic poisoning, those were just the physical symptoms, and in some cases people reported that their hair fell out and even their dental work fell out.

The ulceric sores and other 'cancerous' symptoms can be explained away by the large numbers of toxic and carcinogenic materials that go into making the average jet. It is widely known that the clean-up firm was unprepared for the large number of residues from the jet, and that many areas were still at hazardous levels of toxins when the went back to work (Wall Street). Of course, the health reports were written up in deliberately ambiguous lawyerspeak so that a case for sending people back to work, a similar thing happened with benzene spillages in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
