"6. Discussion The temperatures required for the observed spherule-formation and evaporation of materials observed in the WTC dust (table 1) are significantly higher than temperatures reachable by the burning of jet fuel and office materials in the WTC buildings (table 2). The temperatures required to melt iron (1,538 °C) and molybdenum (2,623 °C), and to vaporize lead (1,740 °C) and aluminosilicates (~2,760°C), are completely out of reach of the fires in the WTC buildings (maximum 1,100 °C). We wish to call attention to this discrepancy: the official view implicating fires as the main cause for the ultimate collapses of the WTC Towers and WTC 7 (FEMA [13], NIST [15] ) is inadequate to explain this temperature gap and is therefore incomplete at best. The formation of numerous metal-rich spherules is also remarkable, for it implies formation of high-temperature droplets of the molten metals, dispersed in the air where they cool to form spherules. As displayed in figures 3 and 4, we observe spherules with high iron and aluminum contents, a chemical signature which is not consistent with formation from melted steel.
The data provide strong evidence that chemical reactions which were both violent and highly-exothermic contributed to the destruction of the WTC buildings. NIST neglected the high-temperature and fragmentation evidence presented here: it appears nowhere in their final report [15]. Proposed new building codes based on the WTC disaster must address all available evidence for what caused the complete and rapid destruction of these skyscrapers. Understanding the mechanisms that led to the destruction of the World Trade Center will enable scientists and engineers to provide a safer environment for people using similar buildings and benefit firefighters who risk their lives trying to save others. Thus, a thorough investigation which considers these data, showing extremely high temperatures and severe fragmentation in the formation of small metal-rich spheres during the WTC Towers destruction, is highly motivated. In particular, the repeatedly-delayed report on the destruction of WTC 7 on 9/11/2001 [21] should address these striking facts.
[20] Even in a testing furnace when the air temperature is raised quickly and held at 1,000 °C, and heat is not conducted away by a large building structure, it takes approximately two hours for protected steel to reach 600 °C.

GREENWALD: ... One of the oddest shapes is called the compression. It's so valuable that it's been locked inside a tent within the hangar. It looks like a meteorite and nobody knows which tower it came from says Charles Gargano, vice chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the hangar and the Trade Center Site. Gargano says the compression is actually 4 stories that have been crushed into a jagged object four feet high.
GARGANO: This is metal that has been compressed again as the result of the collapse of these extremely tall buildings. And that is made up, composition of different materials steel, concrete and other materials and you can see how that was compressed.
Amazingly, it's possible to make out individual objects. There are bathroom tiles, a pipe, and blackened pieces of paper carbonized by the heat. It smells like charcoal. Peter Gatt, who's one of the preservationists here, points to the spine of what looks like a corporate report.
GATT: This is a book. You can find a book inside. You can read letters on these little papers and for some reason they're still here.
BETH: You can actually make out words on some of these tiny pieces of carbonized paper..."

they think a nuclear bomb caused that? are they fucking stupid, look at a video of hiroshima, then ask that fucking question again. your talking about a force equal to 12,500 tons of TNT that equates to roughly 25 million pounds of explosives put that in the basement of the world trade center and your gona get a huge fucking crater and destroy all of manhattan. stop being stupid.
Where did all that heat come from? If the surface temps were 1300 degrees one can only image how how it was 6 floors down in the basement where folks were seeing steel running like lava. That had to be at least 3000+ degrees. Open air fire with perfect fuel and conditions burns at 1800 degrees F. I know where the heat came from. It is undeniably from a chemical reaction of thermite.
NIST isn't in denial, they know what they are doing. They are covering this up. NIST has a whole team of thermite experts on the 911 panel for a reason. So they know what NOT to look for. You can't find what your not looking for and they know full well thermite and other exotic explosives were used to assist in bringing those towers down. NIST admits in its report it never even looked for evidence of explosives.
Try this on You-Tube: Dr. Judy Wood-The New Hiroshima-Part 2A/2B. I admit at first glance it appears to be good science fiction, but almost all science fiction stories eventually become science fact, don't they. Keep an open mind and give it a watch. I dare you.
That must be a class he took at Duke right? Pittfalls of the brain 101. All these people suffered from mass hysteria at different times right? (Thats the other class he took)
