That's mainly a question of terminology. Corrosion creates eutectics, eutectics melt.
To be honest, Astaneh-Asl's quote is a little perplexing. Adding previous sentences, he said, "Here, it most likely reached about 1,000 to 1,500 degrees. And that is enough to collapse them, so they collapsed. So the word "melting" should not be used for girders, because there was no melting of girders. I saw melting of girders in World Trade Center." I've often wondered whether the last sentence was mis-transcribed, and dropped the word "no" from before "melting", because as it stands the quote makes no sense. But of course, for a conspiracy theorist, it's forbidden to question any small excerpt from a quote that seems to support the conspiracy theory, even if it only does so when taken out of context.

Exactly.
Which is precisely why finding such particles is not evidence of a thermite reaction at all. I am glad you understand so easily what appears to be an unintelligible concept to Jones, Harrit and Basile. Then again, Basile's test proposal does not mention looking for micro spheres, so apparently not even he considers them as of value in telling thermite apart from mundane materials such as paint or rust.

But you failed to ask him, and the steel he found was not melted, it was corroded, learned after it was analysed. And it corroded after 9/11. Thus you failed to do research, and remain a follower, not a doer.
There was no melting of steel on 9/11, you can't produce evidence. Astaneh was talking about corrosion in fire at 1000C he found. What is your point. Do you think steel melts at 1000C, that is the temperature after studying the sample was found to be the highest temperature, not the temperature required to melt steel. Thus corrosion if fire at first looks like melting, but there was no pool of steel, of iron form the melting, it corroded in fire. Do you always call rust melting? Make my day, ask Astaneh what he thinks now. But you will not take action, you will troll and post BS, you don't care about the truth, your actions are indicative of someone who does not care 19 terrorists murdered thousands. So you make up or repeat lies about 9/11. 15 years of failure based on lies. |

Bump:
I figure while the only remaining spokesperson for this "study" is currently posting here (Ziggi), he might comment on the lack of progress and status of the money raised. |

It is mid October, are we getting an update anytime soon? According to aneta.org and a poster by the name of ziggi, we should have already been informed of the progress.

It's not working for me. Might as well be down. So it's been like 3 years, can they just get away with it?

Sounds like a domain problem. Rick is known for forgetting to renew the domains in due time.
But actually, markbasile.org is just a container to display this page: http://aneta.org/markbasile_org/ Does that one work for those who said it didn't work for them? Edit: Well, JDH says aneta.org is the problem, so that will probably fail too. It's working for me from two locations (my home and my hosting provider) and Google's DNS is resolving it, so I can't confirm the failure. |

It must feel pretty disappointing for Rick to still renew the domain after all of this time. I remember a few months ago he edited the website to say "Do not donate anymore. Basile has not fulfilled his obligations" or something like that before I guess he was talked out of it.
