The Raw Story: Scientists find active 'super-thermite' in WTC dust   Updated at 7:42 AM

A team of nine scientists have unearthed startling data from dust gathered in the days and weeks after the World Trade Center towers collapsed on 9/11. They discovered that scattered throughout the dust samples were red and gray chips of 'active thermitic material', or an un-reacted pyrotechnic explosive.

Thermite is used in steel welding, fireworks shows, and hand grenades. It is the combination of a metal powder and a metal oxide which produce a reaction known for extremely high temperatures focused in a very small area for a short period of time. The 'active thermitic material' discovered in the World Trade Center dust was a combination of elemental aluminum and iron oxide, and is a form of thermite known as 'nano-structured super-thermite'.

“These observations reminded us of nano-thermite fabricated at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and elsewhere; available papers describe this material as an intimate mixture of UFG aluminum and iron oxide in nano-thermite composites to form pyrotechnics or explosives. Commercially available thermite behaves as an incendiary when ignited, but when the ingredients are ultra-fine grain and are intimately mixed, this 'nano-thermite' reacts very rapidly, even explosively, and is sometimes referred to as 'super-thermite',” the report explains.

I suppose that it is impossible that there might have been traces left from the construction of the building?  Also, IIRC, it is also used to cut steel beams, like when a demolished building is being cut up to be removed from the site.  :tinfoil:

Exactly correct - and when one considers the speed of the cleanup operation for such a massive project, it is very likely that torch compounds were spilled -- logic just refuses to enter their tiny little minds. Perhaps the tinfoil deflects rational thought as well as super-secret Government rays...

AHA!!!  So you admit that the WTC was brought down by thermite charges cutting the beams well away from the impact zones!!!  I knew it!!!  9-11 was an inside job!!!  9-11 was an inside job!!! :tinfoil: :fuelfire: :ranton:

I admitted that the thermite was maybe used AFTER the towers were brought down by terrorists flying the aircraft into them.

It's all bullshit.  The journal allows independent submissions (which are hardly peered review).   The first author of this nonsense is a truther:

http://www.transnational.org/Resources_Media/2007/Harrit_Sept_11.html

Lastly:

Affiliation: Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, DK-2100, Denmark.

Are they kidding me right now? 

I didn't download the nonsense because I don't want it on my computer.  Silly DU misfits love the chum, but never question the source, the timing (8 years later???) and the ridiculousness of it on its entire face.

     In other news, a 747 crash-landed in a cemetery yesterday. So far, 2,500 bodies have been recovered and excavation efforts will continue through the day.

     Also:

     Several thousand people would have to be involved in the 9/11 Conspiracy

     BUT

     Nine scientists couldn't POSSIBLY falsify information to support their claims.

Man...I hope they never find the residue of the Proton Torpedoes!!!  :whatever: :-)

They won't...they'll be to preoccupied with the blast marks from the Phasers.

By refusing to expose and bring the perpetrators to justice, President Obama has become complicitous in the schemes and crimes of the neocon Zionist Cabal.

And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

I'm just hoping they don't pick up the chronoton particles left behind by my TARDIS.

Wow..

They found traces of iron oxide and aluminum, at the same place a aluminum aircraft crashed into a steel framed building.

Shocker.

Iron oxide?  OMFG!!!  Next thing you know they'll be telling us the oceans, lakes, and rivers are full of Dihyromonoxide (DHMO)!

Ohnoes!  OMG!!1!!Eleventy111!!!!

Have you ever read the MSDS (http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html) for that stuff - truly a nasty product that should be immediately banned.  :-)

I got burned by dyhydromonoxide once.  Holy crap did it hurt.  Who knew such an innocent looking material could be so dang dangerous!?

Did you shield your sonic screwdriver when you used it?  :o

They won't be able to,............Scottie couldn't get enough power, the reactors  were already at peak performance transporting all of the people off the planes.

Weeeell, just tell Scotty to re-arrange the dilithium crystals or something!
