Correct. The one about WTC 1/2 said that pancaking doesn't happen, so if you damage a building on the 80th floor of a 100 story building, you'll just lose the top 20 floors.

Then the (highly suspect) video with the "charges" on WTC 7 show them doing the demo near the top of the building as opposed to the base. How would that bring down WTC 7 all the way to the ground if the experts in the other video are correct?

video doesn't show the whole building; dont detonation experts put charges up and down in a 'zipper' effect to ensure it collapses inward?

If they wanted it to collapse inward, then why is the first “charge” detonated on the extreme right side of the building?

I don't see anything in your first link that discusses thermite.

In your other link it says, "The chips are characterized by a red
layer in which XEDS analysis identifies carbon, oxygen,
aluminum, silicon, and iron."

Aren't those all normal common elements found in building materials and office products?

Even the iron rich spheres can be replicated in your own home by igniting steel wool. One of those papers associates those easily replicated spheres with thermite seemingly only because it is part of a chip sample that also contains elements found in building materials and office products.

And why use thermite to demo a building when even demolition experts don't? They don't use it because it is impractical. It's not even explosive. They need more control over when structural failure occurs and thermite just simply does not provide that level of control or precision. Why take the "control" out of "controlled demolition"? And as stated earlier in this thread, why use an impractical substance with limited control to break a world record for imploding a building?

The ingredients of thermite are listed in the USGS report.


It's like listing lead, antimony, and barium for gun residue from a crime scene without calling it gun residue.

Yes. But do your common building materials ignite at the the ignition temperature and give off the combustion energy listed in the report? Of course not. The AlO3 and FeO3 are sized and layered so they do combust in the absence of atmospheric oxygen once they reach the ignition temperature.

True.

Thermite is primarily AlO3 and FeO3. Aluminum and iron rust.

Quietly cut steel.

Why not both?

Can you explain the flowing streams of molten iron at the bottom of the WTC debris witnessed by rescue crew days later?

Not making claims about WTC 1 and 2, just allowing the evidence to lead me to where it goes. There is a tremendous amount of information and disinformation about WTC 1 and 2 that does not make sense and if making sense of it hurts sensibilities, I'm sorry. That is not my intention.

Questioning your sensibilities is not the same as having mine hurt.

I'm just trying to get you to post specifically what you believe and my thought is that as you type it out, there may be a point where you'll realize how ridiculous it is. Not the questions, mind you - but the shite you're filling the vacuum left by unanswered questions with.

Back to the attacks - so you do believe the towers were a controlled demolition. Why not just say that?

Were the airplanes flown into the towers also a part of the conspiracy, or were the conspirators just unbelievably lucky in having al qaeda fly plans into towers at about the same time the demolition had been planned?

The ingredients of thermite also happen to be common to building materials. Barium is used in concrete and sheetrock. Antimony is used in electronics. Steel, iron, aluminum are also obviously tied to common building materials. Seems like there's no way to conclude with a shred of credibility that a few fragments of rusted material are actually thermite if the chemical compounds are much more credibly tied to common structural materials and office gear.

Maybe you can start over by citing which elements unique to thermite and in an amount that could conceivably be tied to the use of thermite to break a world record of controlled demolition, were found in the rubble.

Is that video from the 81st floor? That's about the area where one of the planes hit. I know very little about composition of a plane and its potential cargo, but when we combine the possibilities of the plane with possible sources unique to that floor, then maybe we can embrace a little Occam's Razor. From what I have read, that floor was where one of the building's bank of batteries where an uninterrupted power supply had been installed. Seems to be video of what happens when batteries located there for an uninterrupted power supply get damaged in a fire. Do you disagree?

You're asking me "Why not both", but you're not asking why demolition companies do not.ask that same question. They don't use both, do they?

If you're going to wire a building for controlled demolition using all the loud drilling to insert explosive charges, and then blow up a building, what purpose does a quieter thermite serve? You've already alerted everyone and you're about to create multiple massive explosions..

And what's with comparing thermite dropped to kill humans versus using it to bring down more hardened structures? I don't understand the relevance.

This topic seems to have been about WTC7, not the other towers. Wouldn't the thread follow a clearer direction if we stuck with the thread title? Are you suggesting both were brought down with thermite (for some crazy reason that even demolition experts cannot explain for you), or just one tower?

Witness testimony of molten steel in the WTC rubble (burning jet fuel cannot do that, thermite can easily).

How would this mysterious unnamed witness know the difference between molten steel and molten aluminum? Molten aluminum seems to be more likely than molten steel.

No debris showed cut steel. No evidence whatsoever.

Are you suggesting that this was such a clean, well executed operation that all tonnage of cut steel was surreptitiously lifted and removed (because they knew exactly where in the massive debris field to find it?), along with all detonation cords commonly found in controlled demolition rubble?

Let me ask you a question: do you believe the Saudi terrorists that flew the planes into the various buildings were patsies?

Despite all your protestations counselor you still have not addressed the fact that particles of in tact thermite were found and tested in the lab per the paper I previously linked.

Why were particles of perfectly layered, in tact and active AlO3 and FeO3 found ubiquitously through the WTC site.? Not just AlO3. Not just FeO3. But layered in a fashion for maximum combustion. That’s not by accident.

I think by definition and act, someone that flies a plane into a building for a cause is a patsy.

What does that have to do with the likelihood of a secretly planned/executed demolition of two of the largest buildings in the world that would have to be pulled off while 35,000 people occupied said buildings 40+ hours per week?

Next step:

Who or what entity patsy'd them? Just looking for a logical guess.

The official narrative was OBL through his Saudi family resources brainwashed these terrorist to fly planes into these buildings because of long time religious, political or other reasons.

Another tin foil hat theory is U.S. intelligence provided the resources to OBL since the Clinton days and U.S. intelligence motivation was a multitrillion dollar war theater.

Another tin foil hat theory was mostly due to Mossad who worked with Larry Silverstein as a common insurance fraud criminal where Mossad knew that with the U.S. and the ME in conflict 1000s of years of hate can be kept off our favorite little country for a couple of decades.

Or maybe its all parties:

30% OBL taking advantage of U.S. intelligence resources.
10% of Larry Silverstein playing common insurance fraud criminal.
30% U.S. intelligence with the multitrillion dollar incentive to usher in a money making war and grow the U.S. government.
30% Mossad to keep the heat off their little country from ME actors with the U.S. keeping them busy with war.

Maybe it's not a grand conspiracy. It could be just a convergence of interest.

Listen, I'm more than willing to believe all sorts of nefarious shite about our government and the governments of others. Throw in MIC and a dozen other entities that make billions off of things popping off. I'm even willing to connect some dots to do this. But I try my best to discern between BS and reality - like the tabulator thing in the '22 AZ election was nonsense while signature verification and registration are legit voting issues.

You haven't explained how dozens of conspirators/demolition experts crawled around the WTC towers and WTC 7 for weeks to rig the buildings to blow without detection by the 35,000 people that occupied these buildings on a nearly daily basis. Add to this the improbability of all the actors that would have to be involved in the planning, funding, and execution stages - how would they have been able to not just pull this shite off, but done so in a way that twenty years later - nothing. Not a single one of them has come forward and outside of some mysterious dancing Jews, nobody can name a single one.
