That is why you wont see any truther making an estimate of the required amount of thermite that could be responsible for all that energy. It would make their pet theory look so completely absurd.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/e962dc8ff6f5.jpg[/atsimg] Watch that video again, Sir Isaac Newton. Video of the chips combusting and producing a bright flash.
And here you are talking about the spheres and "thermite" chips again. Forgot already that those "thermite" chips didn't even burn when put a blowtorch to it.
I reject that explanation because the spheres appeared after the reaction.
As for the spheres, so you reject perfectly reasonable explanation number one. Another perfectly reasonable explanation is residue from welding.
Um, that's a lovely explanation you conjured up there, but you must be forgetting the dozens of witness testimonies that describe molten metal underneath both twin towers and WTC7. You've been shown more than enough evidence to prove the existence of molten metal in the debris, so what good does talking about combustable materials energy do?
As for the reason the rubble was hot, it had little to do with plane crashes. The energy in the combustible materials that was already inside the buildings was much higher. The jet fuel was all burned up in the early stages of the fire on that very day.
That's why there was eutectic steel found in the debris, which thermite can create (backed by experiments), but of course you chose not to address that detail or the video that I asked you to watch in your post because it destroys your official story "loony theories". :down:
Just as a side note, the idea that somehow thermite is responsible is another one of the loony theories. Thermite has a very low energy density.
And the lame appeal to common sense argument surfaces, I never get tired of seeing those from your side of the story. Poor logical thinking does not trump evidence:
The amounts needed would just be absurd. That is why you wont see any truther making an estimate of the required amount of thermite that could be responsible for all that energy. It would make their pet theory look so completely absurd.

Let's say (guesstimate) 100 tons was needed, that allows you to cut all the columns on four floors.
Funny how no one noticed all these workers cutting away at the fireproofing, bashing holes in the walls to get to the columns, nor the many km of wire to connect it all up.... must have been done by invisible ninjas!
Also the same invisible ninja's must have planted the explosives as well!

Yeah, claims backed up by evidence, experiments, and facts are just so silly! Super silly OMGLOLROFL! Is that the only thing that you can think to say? Probably 2/3s of your posts that I've read mention how silly somebodys claims are with a complete lack of actual debunking. Why don't you actually contribute to the flow of the discussion instead of just calling everything that goes against your point of view silly?
Not as much as you crack people with your silly claims in this thread!
To what, your invisible ninja post? I don't know how they set it up, that is not important. The evidence of a thermitic based demolition is there, so why do I need to speculate on exactly how the building was wired? That's what you guys like to do, shift the conversation in a direction that requires speculation, and then you pick out that statement and call us "loony" for thinking that's possible. I'm not a demolition expert so I wouldn't know, but just because I can't answer exactly how many grams of thermite were placed on what columns, what detonators were used, how long the preparation took, how they kept it low-key enough so that nobody would notice, and so on doesn't mean that the theory is tossed out of the window. The evidence of thermite is there, so that's the important thing, not whether or not FBI agents dressed up as construction workers to sneak thermite in or something like that.
and you are unable to provide a answer...

"The robbery came nearly five years after the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey tightened security at the complex in response to the terrorist bombing on Feb. 26, 1993, which killed 6 people and injured more than 1,000. Since then, all people entering the complex's elevators have had to show identification, though they do not have to pass through metal detectors.
Since the bombing, every one of the 40,000 employees who work at the Trade Center has had to show an identity card to security guards to get on elevators. Visitors are required to show a picture identification and to be buzzed upstairs by the company they are visiting.
But Scott Waldman, a 27-year-old lawyer who works in the complex, said that guards had waved him through on several occasions without checking his identification and that messengers often arrived at his office unannounced.
''I'm not shocked that this happened because there are plenty of days when you can wave an ID in front of them and they just let you in,'' he said. ''Often they are talking to each other and don't even look. You can give them anything.''
Security experts said that it would be hard for any system to stop the robbers who appeared yesterday morning, noting that they appeared to have compromised the complex's security system from the inside.
Security was heightened again last week after one of those implicated in the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, was sentenced to life in prison
With that logic, the Pentagon security footage is not HD, therefore a plane did not hit the Pentagon. The low quality video shows a bright flash after it's ignited. Arguing that since we don't have a high resolution video of the thing that's clear as day in the video as it is is just stupid.
That video is not proof. I mean, cmon...they did not have an HD camera. It looks like a camera phone.
Maybe somebody who is conducting an experiment to compare how the chips in the dust react when ignited by a blowtorch vs. the paint samples?
Also, who the freak in their right mind would attempt to set off a thermetic reaction like that?
Sorry, but that is proof. You can cover your eyes and say "LALALALA" all you want, but any rational person can clearly see a bright flash when the dust chip is ignited. Claiming that the video wasn't HD doesn't debunk the fact that the chip reacted energetically and created iron spheres in the process.
Sorry, but that is not proof.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/206e0a1f3571.jpg[/atsimg] Why do you continue to embarass yourself with stupid statements like that? The typical appeal to common sense that is consistently used by official story believers does not trump physical evidence.
I want to see a physical piece of evidence because there is no way in the world you could bring down 2 100 story buildings and have nothing left of what you used for the CD. NFW....
I am driven by facts and evidence.
Tupac, you are blind. You are so driven by an agenda that you want to believe. You need to believe something. It is hard to admit you are wrong.
If your only argument against the results of that experiment is the quality of the camera, than that really shows the extent of your intelligence and cognitive thinking ability.
As far as the video, no, you cannot compare it to cheap cameras used for surv...If you were going to perform an experiment to show 9/11 was a fraud you would use decent quipment. These guys can afford a cheap ass FLip?
What I am against is the taxpayer paying for another investigation.
