Where did his samples come from?

When did he get them?

Has he published the full report from hs lab?

has any independant lab tested the sample?

I'm not going to watch a video. Where is the paper, allegedly "peer
reviewed, I'm sure. Real scientists publish papers that can be
fact-checked. (not all papers are published by scientists or
are fact-checked.)

Thermite is used for cutting through steel.
Thermate is a military-grade explosive.
You have now made reference to both. Which is it?

Thermite is comprised entirely of rust, aluminum and magnesium. All
of which can be found in a 40year old concrete structure (oxidized
iron) hit by a commerical aircraft (aluminum and magnesium).

But I waste breath on you.

Just when did this Professor do his test ? As dust was still falling
or months later in a junk yard with cut off beams or in the bottom
where the beams were cut out ...

For a moment I though he meant termites had demolished the WTC. Shoud be

I agree, i cannot possibly begin to imagine how someone could be so certain
that the flakey goverment report is correct and accurate, nor how someone
could be so willing to believe their government, Unless they are part of the
government or a troll.
When you look at the evidence (of which there is very little if any in the
government reports) and you consider that the goverment ignored or destroyed
much of the evidence, you would have to brainwashed, extremely dumb, a troll
or unwilling to admit you could be wrong to keep ADs 100% belief in it up.

I'm not much on conspiracy theorists. Could the material in question
be Thermite? This highly specialized material is comprised of
steel rust, and aluminum powder. It doesn't get much more specialized
than that, I don't think?

Concrete - oxidized iron, you have now made reference to both, which is it?
:-)
The fact that there may have been been small traces of the above present any
way cannot be used to disscount the thermite theory being as they would be
present if thermate had been used, that is just stupid logic. If thermate
had been used there would be much higher levels of these compounds present
and they would be more localised, the government have basicaly said that
because there might be traces of the above present anyway that they will not
check this out (convenient ?).
It is just another flakey bit of assumption to excuse the possible real
reason for the collapse.
It would be easy to acertain wether the levels of the above compounds were
minute traces from the plane (or even from the plane at all) or wether they
were from thermate used.

Both. Concrete floors and some supports, lots of iron with the
requisite oxide layer.

Thermite or thermate, which is it? They are not the same.

No, but it is a perfect opportunity for someone like yourself to
posture and strut how much they don't know, especially about
forensics.

Some people were there on that day, and knew that government was
incapable of doing anything. It was the raw guts and nerve of those
that survived that carried the day, saved the lives that could be
saved, and started the system moving such that government *could*
function.

Your efforts and opinions are merely silly, on this topic.

Take it or you will become an enemy of the United States. That will get you

Your government passed "The Patriot Act" so beware! If you are not Patriot
or for that mater too much patriot, you will become an enemy of the state.
Read it! Your "elected officials" did not! They just voted for it, so you
and your miniscule brothers and sisters obey the law or else!

Listen to the government. Obey your government. Serve your government. If
you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. We are the government and
we come in peace.

Thousands of eyewitnesses to the events of 9/11 saw things that were
consistant with PM and the "Standard Story" and contrary to Twoofer
claims. There are no such eyewitnesses that claim they saw a
commercial jet fly low over the Pentagon and leave, or claim seeing
man-made explosives or molten steel on the pile at WTC. Contrary to
Twoofer lies, 95% of FLt93's parts have been recovered and all the
passengers have been identified via DNA.


There are no eyewitnesses to "molten metal" on the pile at WTC. All
the stories turn out to be second-hand when researched.

There are no eyewitnesses that say they saw evidence of man-made
explosives at WTC. "explosion" is just a good word for "loud noise".
Nobody heard explosions as loud as the 1993 bombing consistent with
the video of the collapse. Thermite takes minutes to operate and
produces voluminous white light, white smoke and slag. Nobody saw
light and smoke prior to the collapse. Nobody found the slag,
afterwords.

At the Pentagon, There are hundreds of eyewitnesses that saw the plane
approach the building low and fast. Nobody saw that jet fly over it
and leave. Many of them saw it crash.

In PA, 95% of the aircraft debris of Flight 93 has been recovered and
identified as have DNA samples of all the passengers.

Every quote of a NY fireman provided by the "Truth Movement" is a lie,
edited and out of context and without citation. The "Truth Movement"
censors information that contradicts Truthy claims.

Nobody heard explsions of size and timing consistant with any of the
collapses of any of the buildings at WTC. The explosions would have
been larger and louder than the 1993 bomb (about half a ton of TNT,
equiv) which everyone hear and didn't come close to bringing a tower
down.

Oh geez, the first chart is pitifully non-obvious. It's not a
"perfect match". The ratio's are way off. Just showing there is
aluminum, iron, and sulfur in both samples proves nothing. That's
like saying you found "carbon AND oxygen and Hydrogen And Nitrogen" in
air!!!! Where's his discussion of eutectics to get to melting
temperatures?

There's copper in one sample, and NO copper in the other.

Where do you get sulfur?

Ingredient
Gypsum (calcium sulfate) Wt. % 60- 100
Silica, crystalline, quartz Wt. % 0.1- 1

Oh, wait, it's gypsum board, drywall, it's got a high concentration of
sulfur.

So, you melt together common building and airplane metals which have a
lowered eutectic when put together (aluminum and iron), and add in the
crap like drywall and the like which provides a source of Sulfur. Add
in common wiring materials which have copper in them. This guy has
got nothing but the presence of some of the most common materials
you'd expect to find. He got 2 charts that looked the same, and his
"anti" proof is that plain steel looks different. "Well Duh".

Zzzzzz.

This guy found some hollow sphere metallic dust with a little sulfur
in it. Zzzzzz.

The craziest part of this whole thing is.... if you're just going to
blow up a building, why bother to do the whole "plane thing"?

All these write-ups are based on the theory "since there was molten
metal, there had to be incindiary devices". So, for the moment, I'll
buy into the "fact" that there was molten metal.

So, here goes....

Here's the NIST's direct addressing of this stuff... What a cool
page. Directly addressing the FUD out there.
http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006.htm

Importantly...
"7a. How could the steel have melted if the fires in the WTC towers
weren't hot enough to do so?
OR
7b. Since the melting point of steel is about 2,700 degrees
Fahrenheit, the temperature of jet fuel fires does not exceed 1,800
degrees Fahrenheit and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified the
steel in the WTC towers to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours, how
could fires have impacted the steel enough to bring down the WTC
towers?

In no instance did NIST report that steel in the WTC towers melted due
to the fires. The melting point of steel is about 1,500 degrees
Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit). Normal building fires and
hydrocarbon (e.g., jet fuel) fires generate temperatures up to about
1,100 degrees Celsius (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit). NIST reported
maximum upper layer air temperatures of about 1,000 degrees Celsius
(1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) in the WTC towers (for example, see NCSTAR
1, Figure 6-36).

However, when bare steel reaches temperatures of 1,000 degrees
Celsius, it softens and its strength reduces to roughly 10 percent of
its room temperature value. Steel that is unprotected (e.g., if the
fireproofing is dislodged) can reach the air temperature within the
time period that the fires burned within the towers. Thus, yielding
and buckling of the steel members (floor trusses, beams, and both core
and exterior columns) with missing fireproofing were expected under
the fire intensity and duration determined by NIST for the WTC
towers.

UL did not certify any steel as suggested. In fact, in U.S. practice,
steel is not certified at all; rather structural assemblies are tested
for their fire resistance rating in accordance with a standard
procedure such as ASTM E 119 (see NCSTAR 1-6B). That the steel was
"certified ... to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours" is simply not
true."

----------------------------
Think I'm going to say "oh, the steel couldn't have melted". Nope.
I'm going to tell you it could have. And here's how you'd get it.
Especially the hollow spheres with sulfur. I'm not saying this
happened, but using the level of "science" and "logic" I see in the
WTC hoaxers, my explanation is just as plausible.

Key here is the statement that 1100C for normal building and jet fuel
fires.

Search the eutectic of aluminum + iron, and you'll find... tada...
liquid right in the 1100C range. And that's just for pure lab Fe/Al.
Start mixing in other compounds, and it will go lower.
See Fe/Al here...
http://www.thefabricator.com/Metallurgy/Metallurgy_Article.cfm?ID=676

See Fe/S here in a "pretend paper" (it reads like my sophomore or
junior level papers I wrote in college - who talks stoichiometry for
this stuff? This isn't analytical chemistry here... metals and
ceramics don't behave according to stoichiometry really, do they?)...
http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/200704/JLobdillThermiteChemistryWTC

So, the known, expected temperatures were in the range expected for
iron + aluminum + sulfur to be liquid without needing thermite or
thermate or whatever. How do you get hollow spheres? Well, how about
the air blowing out from the collapsing building? It's all going to
be iron, aluminum, and dry wall - splattering everywhere.

Wow, that almost sounded scientific! LOL

I AM an expert on x-ray spectrometry and I assure you that there is no
way that it could be used to ID Thermite. From WTC debris, you would
find Al, Mg, Fe and many other spectral lines, none of which is
uniquely associated with thermite.

Cutting a horizontal or vertical I-beam with thermite is very
difficult, due to thermite's tendency to just burn a hole under itself
and flow down. Could be used to start a fire, though a gasoline can
would be more practical.

Sadly the steel tube beams [ugh!] holding up the concrete floor pads
of WTC were under the concrete not in the concrete - exposed and bare
in places - and could be cut using a step ladder and a hacksaw.

In every era there are people, for reasons that tend toward the
pathological, who see that their lives are as nothing compared to
"great forces". The "forces can be the government, the Jesuits,
the ... Jooos (an eternal favorite) in short, any group that the
madman is ignorant of. This behavior has been recorded thru history,
it is nothing new.

In any event, the amusing thing about this thread is the idea that
there was some sort of controlled explosion, a view that is really
remarkably stupid inasmuch as any visit to a company site that
actually does this for a living gives lie to the silly contentions.

I bumped into one CT who, in order to get around the obvious problems
involved in planting explosives, claimed (darkly) that they were
planted during the construction of the WTC.

hahahahhhahahahaaahahahahahahahahahaha

Anyway, perhaps some new flavor of madness will emerge here.

Re that video, none of the people quoted say they saw molten metal
first hand. There is no "proof". There are assertions that others with
relevant expertise find unconvincing if not downright flawed. AFAIK,
Jones has never relased teh entire lab report of the analysis of his
sample let alone let other labs test it.

Quoted in teh video, Robertson says he has no recollection of saying
what this video attributes to him. When checked, every claim of molten
metal turns out to be second hand and unverifiable.

"As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and
molten steel was still running."

This statement has been attributed to Leslie Robertson and used to
support some of the more unusual claims regarding the 9/11
attacks. I was wondering, is this statement correct, or could you
clarify it at all?

And a short time later, an email arrived from Leslie E Robertson himself:

I've no recollection of having made any such statements...nor
was I in a position to have the required knowledge.

his name, MUST, understand, can eplain, and does have technical

Uh, thermite is not a compound, it is a mix of powdered aluminum and
iron oxide. I'm not going to get excited because the WTC debris
contains aluminum and iron oxide. Or aluminum oxide and iron, the
products of the reaction.

Actually, C4 will not "Ignite" Thermite, or if you prefer Steve Jones's
chosen word "Thermate".... It will cause it to be spread over the entire
Blast Radious, but it would not "Ignite" it, as the density of the
"Thermite" mixture wouldn't be sufficent. Thermite needs to be packed
against the Steel to effective, not scattered throughout the Blast
Radius. Steve Jones did Physics, not Chemistry, and he is way out of
his Field of Expertiese, when he blathers about, on this seneerio.

Huh? What language is it that you claim to speak? You don't know what
sheetrock is? How about "drywall" - ever hear of that? Basically - it
is formed hardened gypsum sandwiched between layers of heavy paper -
usually in 4 foot by either 8 foot or 12 foot sections - and used as
quick and effective wall covering material. It can be purchased in
almost any home supply or hardware store - at least here in the US.

Also like Kleenex for facial tissue... a manufacturers brand name of a

I now see that there are numerous references that indicate that gypsum
is not flammable. Here is one --

Product Name: Gypsum
Other Names: Calcium sulfate dihydrate, phosphogypsum
[...]
Fire Hazards: Gypsum is not flammable and will not support combustion.

http://www.csbp.com.au/downloads/chemicals/1071198990_Gypsum.pdf

...

Obviously the heavy paper on the outside of sheetrock is flammable.

Well no wonder no one knows what the fuck it is then, but typical of
Americans. It's about as stupid as me saying my house is built with Blue
Circle, My drains are made from Stanton, My toilet is made from Royal
Doulton and my drill is made from Black & Decker.
Oh and also if that's the case it should be Sheetrock not sheetrock.

Any how it's called plasterboard here, although i have heard of the term
drywalling.

Thanks for clearing that up :-)

Well haven't you noticed, there are a few other countries on this fucking
planet, we don't care about about a US brand as far as i'm concerned you are
talking a load of nonsense, so perhaps if you want to be understood
worldwide you should use the correct description instead of some crappy
brandname.
No wonder your peace talks don't do well, nobody can understand you because
you think every other country should know the US, speak the US and live the
US!!

What kind of idiot would suggest plaster board is flammable, have you ever
seen rock burn ?
It melts.
I don't think it burning is the issue, it is just the fact that it would
have left sulphur deposits.

I posted that because someone upthread seemed to indicate that because
it contains sulfur that it could burn.

Just because someone called it sheetrock, doesn't mean
that you have to have a conniption fit.

It's not a chosen word, there is a distinct difference:

"Thermate is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition, a thermite-like compound
used for military applications. Thermate, whose primary component is
thermite, also contains sulfur and sometimes barium nitrate, both of which
increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly
reduce the ignition temperature. Various mixtures of these compounds can be
called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to
them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of
Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0%
sulfur and 0.3% binder."

Thermite does not include the additional chemicals mention above and is not
as fierce.

Rock burns - they have hard coal deposits here.
I know only bogs in the UK - so that rock is to soft to be a rock.

But having known of the Iron Bridge and what sits next to it - coal is near.

You've got your ownership incorrect. The USA is owned lock,

countries. Almost every natural resource pulled out of the
ground here is shipped West... to board a ship.
