not just thermite, but "nanostructured super-thermite"

SUPER THERMITE?

cranberryzero: SUPER THERMITE?

It was exposed to gamma rays.

The truth is finally going to come out.

This has been obvious for years,but now nobody can deny it

Thermite, used in steel welding, fireworks shows, hand grenades and demolition, can produce a chemical reaction known for extremely high temperatures focused in a very small area for a short period of time.

I wonder where they could have possibly found this substance in a large super structure comprised of steel welded together and then which was collapsed by aluminum aircraft loaded with highly flammable fuel? Maybe everywhere near the site?

So, we finally taking one of these green? You know, you people saying that BushCo engineered the destruction of the WTC in complete silence baffle me, especially as some of you also attribute Bush to be the moron he is. How the hell did they manage to pull this off, destroying the buildings and never letting anyone find out, and then manage to fark up the rest of his administration so badly?

jones has been on "superthermite" for years.

it's a classic technique of conspiracy buffs and creationists--focus almost exclusively on one small thing and say that it raises questions while ignoring the gigantic mountain of other evidence.

Bush played you for a fool. He only wanted you to think he was the moron who couldn't open a door, or eat a pretzel. But he's really a sooper genius.

The greatest joke of all time was the devil convincing us that he didn't exist. The second greatest was that George W. Bush was a bumbling moron.

Bush couldn't be trusted, you fool. Cheney planned it all. He still has spies at the NSA and CIA who are afraid to talk to journalists out of retribution. He's been in government forever, and has plenty of time to slowly and methodically set the plan in action with people who either wanted to benefit or who were rightfully scared of what he could do to them if they ever even whispered anything about it to anyone. He underestimated the internet, but has lots of "experts" working to "discredit" the truth. Why do you think his house was blurred out on Google Earth?

timmy_the_tooth		2009-04-06 12:12:07 PM

"Uhhh, yeah, what we have here is your basic super-thermite crossed with British Columbian sensimilla. And, uhh, what good about this is that you can blow up the World trade center with it, and after get stoned to the bejesus belt."

StreetlightInTheGhetto		2009-04-06 12:13:59 PM

Sigh. You know, usually I can't even keep up that crap for more than a few lines. Cheney just makes it too damn easy.

Crosshair		2009-04-06 12:18:03 PM

Looks like I get another thread where I can easily add people to my "Troofers" favorites list.

Lets see, the WTC were made of steel, largely iron. Allot of stuff in offices are made from aluminum alloys.

Have a building collapse large enough to register on seismographs worldwide and I would guess that you would get allot of powdered everything. Hell, who knows, perhaps someone had some illegal stuff stored in the buildings.

Still doesn't answer the question of how they would have gotten enough termite in to take down the building.

DjangoStonereaver		2009-04-06 12:20:07 PM

I will admit something:

It wasn't previously planted explosives that did in the WTC.

It was me.

In 5 years, I discover a time machine, and I went back in time
to the morning of 9/08/01 and slammed my head against the support
beams simultaneously in the sub basements of both towers and WTC
7 (with a Time Machine I can do that), just to get out my
frustration at idiots who mistake rust flecks dislodged from the
collapse as nanoscopic thermite (whatever the hell THAT is).

I will bet his car has magnets along the fuel lines to realign
the gas molecules, too, for more complete combustion.

There was no explosion. The windows started popping out and the building buckled and fell straight down. (WTC I)

The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures.

so we are talking TINY particles here. nanometers? come on, your claiming the largest conspiracy in the history of the Earth and your proof is 100 nanometers?

cracka please...

Wake up sheeple. Steel DOESN'T BURN!!11!

HulkHands		2009-04-06 12:28:27 PM

The pieces were found by a "Manhattan resident" a few days after the collapse and then given to the scientists. They were not found by the scientists at the site.

Yup, that's air tight!

I'm a structural, peer-reviewed nano-explosive, and I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

TFA: "a combination of elemental aluminum and iron oxide"
Rust and aluminum found in the wreckage of a building?
That's unpossible!

Because the government can DO things, man! Forget the logic, you have to open your mind to realize that the government destroyed one of its most prized sites and killed a multitude of its own citizens in order to be justified in attacking a country when they could have easily just faked a direct attack from them instead of this vague "Well maaaaybe they DID do it!" bullcrap!

Duuuuuh!

I would rather hang out with and debate Freepers than I would "Truthers." This thread is going to be so full of FAIL that I might steer clear of it for a few days.

Don't tell anyone, but they will. Given enough time, they will all turn up dead. Oh sure, you'll hear some bullcrap stories about "old age" and "car accidents" and "tinfoil poisoning", but I think we all know the truth.

cranberryzero		2009-04-06 01:02:53 PM

subby here...

i just noticed that this was my 611th greenlight.

611.

look at that six upside down.

yes, the nano super thermite has been a complex conspiracy between me, drew curtis and the jews so that i would get exactly 611 greenlights up to this point.

why not 911?

that would be too obvious. only the true believers would realize that there's more to the hidden 9 in 611 than the blatant 911.

Headso		2009-04-06 01:10:10 PM

Considering multiple countries were warning about an upcoming attack for months before the attack all the way up to days before it I would think it was more of a situation of colossal incompetence than an inside job.

Maybe there was a conspiracy to cover up their incompetence though..

Yup, that's air tight!

How? How was that tiny amount of... something... found by a "resident"?

"One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower,

Oh, okay. When dust and debris was choking and blinding everyone else, and they were all running for their lives, Personal Locator Alarms on the firefighters screeching, one guy happened to notice some tiny little flakes of something and think, "Hey, this might be explosives! I'd better give it to a scientist!"

Bullshiat. Farking bullshiat.

albo		2009-04-06 01:16:52 PM

as those of us who have actually worked for the feds can attest,

never ascribe to governmental conspiracy that can be better explained by governmental incompetence.
