Steel Samples from WTC Towers after 9/11 (Clip 1, part 1)

Video obtained from NIST by FOIA. Part of 911datasets.org release 26, file WTC Tape 1-1 (first of 2 parts edited only for length) -- NIST details here: http://wtc.nist.gov/pubs/NISTNCSTAR1-3Draft.pdf -- Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster -- Mechanical and Metallurgical Analysis of Structural Steel

@roquefortfiles so do you believe fire was enough to destroy the steel?

[roquefortfiles]

@bjdm3089 How many fucking times do i need to tell you? Incendiaries are not used for building demolition. You're dreaming if you think load bearing steel the size of the WTC's is going to be sizzled apart with a few buckets full of thermite. It ain't happening dude. And please don't send me Jonathon Cole's ridiculous crap videos of his Wile Coyote Do it yourself terrorist kit. Bunch O Crap.

It requires high explosives. Stuff like RDX that goes off at 5 miles/sec.

Go and learn.

@bjdm3089 resulting in iron microspheres.

Really? So do welding torches. Of which there were plenty all over the WTC. And nobody has ever come forward with a chain of custody for your...(ahem) THERMITE. For all they know they are putting post clean up welding slag under the microscope.

Buildings are not taken down with this material. Go and ask a professional. They'd laugh at you (Sort of like I am)

[roquefortfiles]

@bjdm3089 Peer reviewed?? By who? UPOST IT Science. COM? LOL. The materials that make up the building easily account for your..."Thermite" residues.

JFC The truth movement couldn't even get through a puny sized steel column and had to resort to burning a flower pot full of Thermite at their little 911 Truth convention at Burning Man in Nevada.

You're on Glue dude. There is no professional anywhere who even remotely consider this material for a CD.

It requires high explosive

[bjdm3089]

And on top of it all, the red/gray chips found in the academic paper mentioned below are ACTIVE: when ignited at surprisingly low temperatures (~500 centigrade), they react VIOLENTLY and produce liquid metal resulting in iron microspheres. This is a primary indication of a thermitic reaction, EVEN IF the nano-formula permitted its creators to add other elements for different effects. Let me guess: this is PRIMER PAINT!!!!!!

[bjdm3089]

What you continue to dodge is the blatant evidence of molten material. Microspheres of a fusion of iron and other metals is proof that it was once in a liquid state. We know that, fire-proofed or not, iron and steel may weaken but DO NOT MELT, DO NOT LIQUIFY without extreme temperatures which only an exothermic chemical reaction can produce. The bending of massive steel girders, the FEMA report showing steels with holes in it--this requires incendiaries

[bjdm3089]

I am happy to continue this debate because real science can easily settle it. You continue to bring up the thermite so let's get this straight: thermitic material at the nano-level has been found in samples of the WTC dust. The peer-reviewed paper clearly shows evidence of highly advanced/energetic material which is quite apparently thermitic in nature. Nano technology requires MONEY and LABS. This is one observation, it is not a CONCLUSION that nano-thermite is ALONE what brought down WTC1,2,7

[roquefortfiles]

@bjdm3089 There is no one on the planet educated in controlled demolition, military or civilian who would EVER use thermite for a building implosion. It wouldn't happen dude. Call up a demolition company and tell them you would like them to use Thermite for your next high rise implosion.

Now wait for the laughter because that is what you'd get.

6% of the dust? LOL Had the amount of Thermite needed for this REALLY been there you would be talking about levels of 80%..

Get real

[bjdm3089]

@roquefortfiles FEMA says clear evidence of melting steel "like swiss cheese"; USGS independently reports 6% of dust is microspheres; and NIST says, "Why test for explosives? We don't expect to find any evidence and we DENY any and all reports of liquid metal in any form!" Too bad this violates national standards which require testing for thermitic residue if there is any evidence of molten metal or explosions. Admitting symmetric free fall for more than two seconds, THAT is a joke!

[roquefortfiles]

@bjdm3089  LOL. Bare steel with no fire proofing? GOOD LUCK!!. Its not put on the steel for fun and decoration. Sections of the WTC steel found afterward were virtually stripped clean of it. Even a small area of exposed steel will fail the entire piece. Fire VERY MUCH can do this to the steel. Thermite does not react for weeks at a time.. Nor is it a substance that ANY trained professional would EVER use for a CD.

Some very very silly stories going on here.
