BS,
Actually, there is little technical information posted by the CT side. You continually remind people that you are an "electronics major" implying some sort of technical expertise and then go off about logical fallacies without any technical input.
I posted technical criticisms of the Jones paper that were not refuted by you or anyone else. All that happened was demands for web references for my criticisms, as though web references were some sort of standard of proof and the only way criticisms can be validated is if someone else published them on the web.
Check my posts on the Jones paper and technically refute my criticisms or accept that the Jones paper proves nothing other than that physics professors are not chemists.

Maybe that's because you don't actually post any proof for what you say? You think that might have something to do with it?

If this was about arguing the merits of the Jones paper, as it began, that would be fine. But it gets shot down by solid facts


Like what?


Read through the thread. Substantive information was provided by a number of people. It is not my job to reiterate it. That's why it is archived.

If I may say so, in this phase of this extended thread you've come in pointing to a claimed eutectic reaction that FEMA left unaddressed and expanded that to some sort of leading indicator of a controlled demolition.

The stated topic of the thread was the Jones paper implying the presence of large quantities thermite or some compound thereof. I can't say you've been able to sufficiently reinforce that position with further data.

So you are capable of all this analysis and critical thinking and speculation. and you STILL believe in the official story?

I just don't really understand you.

You make a lot of speculation and assumptions in order to dismiss this evidence, but I'm just wondering if you only question evidence that goes against the official story?

If you are actually interested in science it should take even less time that this thread to figure out the official story is a physical impossibility.

The official story is the only one that offers a comprehensive analysis and explanation of the events that occurred. It is backed up by forensic evidence, testimony, video and photography.

Looking at some points of the alternative explanation presented:

One ton of therm*te would have been required for every 8 tons of steel to reach a sufficient weakening temperature of 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. So we are talking enormous quantities installed. As many or more of the columns damaged by the airplane impact or weakened by the fire would have had to be covered.

As the steel structural skeletons were not exposed, planting incendiaries in advance would have required major invasive work on the buildings, far beyond the removing of wall panels. Concrete would have had to be drilled or blasted through for incendiaries to be positioned and then damage repaired and expose surfaces repainted. The building would virtually have had to be taken apart in numerous places, most in full business operation. This would mean working around electrical wiring, heating and cooling systems, water lines, insulation, fireproofing, etc. All to be done inconspicuously by skilled crews without raising undue suspicion.

Fully successful remote ignition with precision timing would be needed. Given the relatively slow burning rate of therm*te it would somehow have had to be kept in direct contact with steel surfaces for minutes to work effectively.

All happening in the turmoil of buildings with burning airplanes on top and fires raging throughout.

Is all this possible?

Mike is correct, the amounts would have to be exceptionally large, and the placement would have been exceptionally difficult. There is only so much energy available from any of these reactions; none of this is magic.
Jones paper shows no evidence for therm*te of any kind much less "nano-engineered thermate." There is no oxidizer such as barium nitrate, nor elemental sulfur found in the chips. The particle sizes are widely distributed and many are not "nano." Thermal demolitions are not predictable or readily timable because heat flow is much slower than kinetic disruption and failure times are not precise.
There is no chemical evidence of therm*te, no video evidence for for therm*te, and no rationale for its use.

It would take tons of therm*te to demolish the buildings. Assume the tons of therm*te was in place ready to go. Assume the aircraft did not disrupt the process. Assume ignition was timed to the millisecond.

Sequential failure cannot be timed to the second in a thermal demolition.

No therm*te.

Perhaps the thermite was applied to the skeleton of the towers under the guise of fireproofing.

Thermite and thermate can even be mixed in a 5:1 ratio with plaster of paris and applied to the surface that you need to cut through.... although far more primitive than what the military uses as a medium for it's nanotech incendiaries, it shows that this substance can be applied in advance and is quite versatile.

Bubbled Latex or foam caulking would have provided an even better medium - and when combined with dyes would have passed for fireproofing foam.

*Obviously, incendiary devices alone did not bring down the towers; high explosives were used and there is an abundance of witnesses who heard the detonations.

During this period of time, Marvin Bush was in charge of security - no one was going to get caught.

I think they used a mixture of aluminium and chemicals to get a temperature around 2-3000 degrees. Probably fitted in bras pipes around a column/structure. They can even make the piping look like water pipes for internal fire extinguishing. Like you would see in many ceilings in a building.

You really aren't too familiar with this material, are you? Burning holes in submarine hulls and clearing breaches with shaped charges doesn't sound realistic. Therm*te in water pipes would start fires but wouldn't do much damage to th estructure.
