Ron Craig asked questions by UW 9/11 Research Group

Ron Craig, an explosives/special effects expert, gave a talk about whether explosives brought down the WTC towers. He argues against the controlled demolition hypothesis. Craig is asked questioned by members of the UW 9/11 Research Group.

Craig is asked about the high temperatures found by RJ Lee Group since fires cannot reach such high temperatures. Specifically, "Some particles show evidence of being exposed to
a conflagration such as spherical metals and silicates, and vesicular particles (round open
porous structure having a Swiss cheese appearance as a result of boiling and evaporation)." Melting aluminosilicates requires about 1450 degrees C. Craig did not seem familiar with RJ Lee's analysis and replied along the lines that "9/11 websites" have made too much of the temperatures issue. He says he doesn't know about how such a phenomena could happen so he supports a new investigation into 9/11.

At least Craig is the first explosives/special effects expert to speak about 9/11. We appreciate he interest and efforts regarding 9/11 research. However, since 2007 when he debated Richard Gage, he hasn't published any of his finding so that they may be scrutinized.

Craig, a decent guy? He takes pride in not knowing what he is talking about, ignores the 2nd principle of thermodynamics, and avoids the very real contention that more than the controlled demolition, what is at stake is the contention that the NIST report is not just incorrect, but actually fraudulent.

Mr, Craig knows far little about controlled demolition or forensic demolition investigation to give an opinion abt 911, which is way beyond him as a hollywood special effect expert. He's also quite suspecious to be a hired gun for the gov like the guy in pop. mechanics.

@JaredPelletierFilms Goodness me, people like you actually exist? fucking idiot

Ron Craig is a failed loser

The dust was collected long after the collapse, with no chain of custody. And not one respected scientist agrees it shows thermite, or even Nano thermite. No one would use such a substance. The whole conspiracy theory timeline makes no sense whatsoever. The buildings collapsed starting from the point of impact. So tell me, why didnt the so called thermite or explosives go off immediately when the plane hit and exploded. Usually a fireball will set off bombs or thermite

[lamiac2411]

@JaredPelletierFilms Not completely true. Many chips with unreacted thermite was aquired from the WTC dust. This is a very advanced explosive. It is in no way used in any type of normal building structure whatsoever. This substance has been proven to be in the dust, not just by the truth movement scientist. But now also by a few well know universities and other scientists as well. There is no question about this, it is now proven. Now we need to know why the hell it was there

[JaredPelletierFilms]

@greenb1a i don't think the issue is controlled demolition. i think the issue is that nobody seems to understand the way modern buildings are structured, in the way they're designed to collapse in such a collision (a controlled manner, to avoid other damage). of course, there is more damage than in a controlled demolition..but it remains somewhat limited. but yea, if we believe in conspiracies..then that all gets thrown out the window

[EskolainenKarma]

@EskolainenKarma Sunstein, whose article focuses largely on the 9/11 conspiracy theories, suggests that the government "enlist nongovernmental officials in the effort to rebut the theories. It might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts."

Ron Craig is one such expert

[EskolainenKarma]

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups.

Ron Craig seems like a decent guy. I would encourage any serious Canadian researcher of 9.11 to go to him & ping-pong some ideas & get deeper into this discussion.
