  • The commentator sounds like Richard Hammond?

  • i've seen thermite melt an engine block to a molten puddle. this stuff is nasty.

  • very nice video. this might inform some ppl who post angry, rather than informative. the only thing is, thermite has been recorded to exceed 5k degrees.

  • recorded with a microweave?

  • recorded with a toaster ?

  • I made a paper airplane that says greetings from 9/11

  • what happens if you drop it on the ground? does it just keep going down into the earths core

  • great video!!!  keep up the good work

  • ok i admit, im not a scientist nor an engineer/chemist but i will ask the stupid question anyway...why the fuck would someone use thermite/thermate to burn through a safe? if im not mistaken (and i probably am), wouldn't you burn all of that (ahem, flamable) money? and if money isnt in there, wouldnt it absolutely fuck up anything in there to make it furthermore unvaluable? only a half baked thief would ever try that.

  • just so you dont ALL think Steven Jones is a nut, check out he architect's and engineers video debunking the "fuel" theory. Steven jones has an actual piece of the molten metal from the WTC site, and it has been analyzed by 5 independant labs specializing in metalurgy, and, yes, horror of all horrors, he is RIGHT! Not only was Thermite used, but also Thermate. Big, bad, mean hot shit that is!! So, check out Steven Jones, Richard, oh, cant remember his lat name. They are right.
