Quote from Weed, "SO, substantial damage at the WTC? Check."
That's the trouble, there may well have been fatal damage. But someone nicked all the steel didn't they so, WTF am I going to check, a tainted 9/11 commission report, and the NIST cartoon, (at least the pentagon black box enabled a cartoon based on some parameters) whereas the NIST one was made up by the experts from scratch. And what about all the experts watching the telly that day who said they knew the towers were going to fall although they performed well by staying up so long, had they never heard of the telephone?
Right after the first World Trade Center tower collapsed, at 9:59 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Father John Delendick--one of New York Fire Department's chaplains--ran down a ramp to below the nearby World Financial Center, so as to escape the dust cloud. There he met with Deputy Chief Ray Downey, the head of the FDNY's Special Operations Command. Delendick asked Downey if the jet fuel from the plane had blown up, thus causing the South Tower to collapse. According to Delendick, Downey "said at that point he thought there were bombs up there because it was too even." [1]
Coming from a senior firefighter, this claim is significant enough. But it is even more so because Downey was no ordinary firefighter. Prior to 9/11, he had "commanded rescue operations at many difficult and complex disasters, including the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, and many natural disasters worldwide." [2] As the chief of the FDNY Special Operations Command, he'd pioneered techniques for urban rescue and responding to terrorist attacks. "He was so respected, so beloved," according to CBS News, that "his men nicknamed him 'god.'" [3]
Of most importance is that one of Downey's areas of expertise was building collapses. 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer referred to Downey as a "very, very respected expert on building collapse." [4] Robert Ingram, a battalion chief in the New York Fire Department, has called him "the premiere collapse expert in the country." [5] And Fire Chief Mike Antonucci, who was a best friend of Downey's, said he "was probably the most knowledgeable person on building collapses there was. That was his [hobby], to study building collapses--what affected the engineering of buildings, how they [would] weaken and how he could respond and stay safe." [6]
And this 39-year veteran of the New York Fire Department, who was the most highly decorated firefighter in its history, initially believed the South Tower had come down due to explosives, because the collapse had been "too even." Unfortunately, Ray Downey is not with us today, as he was killed when the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m.

The Thread is about a direct lack of proper investigation.
He is actually saying that the fireman's manual states that thermite is one accelerant that should be tested for in the case of a steel building collapse! that surely must be one the most important parts of his speech. Thermite is in that manual, yet is one of the most poo-hooed CT ideas. This is a whole new light on it for me.
Actually there is quite a bit left in permanent storage, what are you looking for?

What were Thermite accelerants doing in the WTC dust?
This is a compound that should not have been in the WTC.
Why didn’t any investigator investigate demolition when hundreds of credible eyewitness went on public records stating they saw and heard explosions?
Most people know NIST report is a proven lie proven by A&E
Most people know the government is covering up a crime.

Boy the usual posters got here pretty quick for this thread. Time for the character assassination of Eric Lawyer because they don't want you to think about the facts.
Fact - FEMA and NIST by their own admission did not test for explosives. Remember this is after the '93 WTC bombing.
Fact - There is a mountain of evidence which proves explosions were heard on 9/11.
Fact - Evidence was removed and destroyed which is a serious violation of the most basic investigation procedure.
So fellas continue with your character assassination of Eric Lawyer and keep ignoring those facts.
I commend Eric Lawyer and any other citizen with the courage to come forward!

looking for thermite during fire investigation
Took out my copy of DOT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS GUIDE, which every
fire apparatus has to carry a copy. Nothing in there about thermite.
Conclusion - More nonsense by drooling bat crap insane truther for the
bat crap insane truthers....

It never fails! Every time someone speak out against the OS the same bunch of 911 Trusters, or (OS believers) swarm in here with their insults, ridicule and negative comments,
yet none of you have brought anything to the table to prove Eric lawyer is wrong.
The fact is, ground zero was guarded,
so no one could take anything or examine any of the debris.
There was no tagging of evidences
there was nothing but a fast clean up operation to destroy what evidences that could be found.
Everyone knows that including you Trusters.
Plenty of Firemen saw, and heard explosions in all three WTC, some of you Trusters can deny their credible on the record statements, you all are entitle to your opinions but not your facts.
What are you Trusters afraid of?
We just want a new investigation so we can have the truth.

Most people know NIST report is a [color=gold]proven lie proven by A&E.

Some of you Trusters can make all the excuses all you want, but that is all they are, excuses.
Are you saying I am lying, yes or no? then go and register at NFTA as I did, there you will find, as I did under Fire and explosives investigations, "Exotic Accelerants" and amongst others is thermite, so go and look! I think you pulled out the wrong thing.

Opinions, opinions, opinions when are you “OS Trusters” going to learn how to debate?
Where is your proof that there wasn’t any “EXOTIC ACCELERANTS"?
We have proof, sciences does not lie.
Some of you can hand wave and ignore all the credible scientific evidences all you like, but it is not going away.
