The way you demolish a building in a controlled fashion is by explosively blowing out its load-bearing elements simultaneously (per floor), so that no side of the building can act as a fulcrum. Using thermite charges to melt the load-bearing elements would accomplish the opposite of that, since the burn rate would never be perfectly even. For that matter, it would take several minutes to melt through the supports, meaning that it would be completely impractical at preventing a tip-over. God, there's credulousness, and then there's willful stupidity.

hmm you're saying that building can't or won't fall down in "controlled fashion" as result of fire, or what? Let me remind you that the official theory is that it fell down squarely in its footprint as result of asymmetric and irregular fires, which, I suppose, are not even at all.
Be careful not to disprove your official theory along with conspiracy.

No, not at all. What I'm saying is that if you're actually trying to do so, thermite is a stupid way of doing it.

Why? If you believe in official explanation you must also agree that termite would do the job just fine. Why something that would work would be stupid?

Because it wouldn't a sure thing in the first place, and in any case it would take far too long to be useful for a "just in case" controlled demolition as is being described here.

But you have to take the circumstances into consideration...What is stupid for an average demolition job can not be applied to a false flag operation.

Wiki: Thermite can permanently disable artillery pieces without the use of explosive charges and therefore can be used when silence is necessary to an operation.

A massive explosion at the ground level of the towers in order to cut the core columns would raise a lot of suspicion. Therefore, they were weakened with thermite in advance, and then cut completely with a relatively smaller explosion.

">Video which strongly hints at the smaller explosion.

Who are you? Why, you're a conspiracy theorist!

I'd rather be a conspiracy theorist than someone who accepts what is spoon-fed without questioning it. If calling me a delusional nut makes you feel better about your constructed reality then do so.

hmm a lot of people are very sure that two building in the row can fall down into their own footprints as result of totally irregular fires...

You can have a point here. I don't really think such tall buildings would require any just-in-case measures at all. Huge buildings are more structurally like cardhouse than solid cardboard box, perhaps them cannot tip over. To tip over, you need much larger bending strength than otherwise necessary. But I dunno, I'm not civil engineer.

EDIT: Nevermind, that was a dick thing to say.

Unreacted. Wouldn't it be strange if this was formed after the collapse.

What is Thermite? Iron oxide (Read, Rust) and Aluminum shavings.


Iron Oxides form very easily when you heat steel to a glowing state, as the Oxygen readily bonds with the iron, and it flakes off as a coarse powder that is easily ground to dust.

Aluminum shavings/dust is easily formed when aluminum is torn/crushed/rubbed against something. Most modern buildings contain lots of metals such as aluminum, I'm sure you can find several pounds of the stuff with in ten feet of you in an average North American office.


If it was formed BEFORE the fire and collapse, I would be more surprised to find iron oxides and aluminum, rather than aluminum oxide and iron filings.

I think there would be aluminium dust from airplane impact, as airplane is made mainly from aluminium and crashes into building on very high velocity and grinds against structural elements, shattered glass, etc etc...

Building fall, I don't think it would reduce aluminium into dust. Aluminium mostly bends and deforms, not shatters, and velocities of fall are not that big.

I think most of conspiracy theories and most of their disproofs are equally retarded.
