bill asked 'Are you saying that you personally believe that metal that is a flat silver colour when molten glows orange ? '
I just look at the evidence. It's not about what I believe. It's about what IS. |

No that is not what was being said Bill.
The question is how do you make such a large poole of molten steel at that one location in part of a building which is seriously on fire? How do you get the steel to that point? Before melting - if so who fires all the thermite to do the meltinjh etc etc.... After melting if you have just cut tens of columns with it? How do you get it to one point? ------ Channels for it to flow - who put the channels in place after the aircraft had bulldozed debris through the space? ------ Manual - suicide workers in fireproof suits who carry all the little bits from each of the cut columns and walk across the fire lor to pour each bnit into one pool? Whichwever of those two you suggwest how do you keep it molten? AND where do you hide the tons of molten aluminium so it doesn't fall out the same place and give evidence for your opponents??? Other than that there could be something in your claims. |

I tried to read this thread from the start but couldn't stomach it anymore. On the Hindenburg episode of Mythbusters, they applied a thermite "paint" to their model and ignited it. Pretty GD cool, BTW. Why can't Jones paint some structural steel with any type of thermite he wants and actually demonstrate what he claims. Other than smoke and bright light, what the hell is going to happen to the steel? Will it warm up a little (somewhere back in the early pages 27 degrees C was mentioned, IIRC) or will it melt?
My bet is on the slightly warm up. Where is Crazychainsaw when I need him! |

Hey:
Why hasn't the Jones' boys staged a demonstration on a mock-up column? I offered a while back to supply the column to any "truther" that wanted to "cut it with therm?te" but got no takers. I'll still do it (except you have to pay shipping, it's been a little slow) to any "truther" willing to try (you fail you pay for the stock and fabrication, I'll give you a quote). So how many orders should I get together? |

It's actually funny that you use the word 'silvery'. That is exactly how Shyam Sunder of NIST described the molten stream pouring out of WTC2...'' it was 'silvery' he said. You are evidently of the opposite opinion.
I have messed about with molten alumnium before and it remained unfailingly silver. So me and Shyam are in lockstep and you are out of step with us ? lol |

'twoofer' is just an unclever name made up by somebody with no wit or imagination to mislabel the true Stalwart 9/11 Truthers. I was relieved that the name was so clueless. With a little application they could have come up with something much better. Too late now though. You are stuck with 'twoofer' which is just fine by us.

In more distant shots of the stuff pouring out, which catch it at a lower level, it does appear less red, which would be consistant with its cooling back to a silvery appearance.
Problem is that colors do not always remain stable in digital photography because cameras adjust to surroundings. Bear in mind, too, that lead can be heated to a red glow before it evaporates. I do not have the referrences at hand to back this up, but I believe it will glow at lower temperatures than aluminum. I am still betting that the stream is lead from the UPS. It was certainly in the right location. |

That part of the tower was in the shade.
I need to ask, If this "active thermitic" substance was found in all those samples sent to jones 6 years after 9/11, samples I might add that were found in various locations as far away as the Brooklyn bridge. within a three inch thick layer of dust all over the southern tip of Manhattan. Why wasn't it ignited by all the fires around ground zero? |
