Creative Speculation

(11,082 posts)... so first, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to produce some credible evidence of thermite. This video was laughable when it was new and it hasn't weathered well. Steven Jones claims thermite produced molten metal in the basement but doesn't even attempt to explain what kept it molten for weeks, which only proves how easy it must be to get a PhD in physics from some schools. That one piece of steel that showed eutectic corrosion is known to have happened at a temperature of around 1000 degrees C, nowhere near the the temperature of thermate. There is no positive identification of that small amount of molten something pouring out of the building as being steel, much less that is was caused by thermite, and in fact, the complete lack of the intense light that thermite also produces disproves that hypothesis -- not to mention the fact that there was nothing remotely resembling the quantity that would be necessary to cause the building to collapse -- and the simplest explanation for the white smoke is that it's just white smoke, not aluminum oxide. There are photos of workers cutting columns diagonally with a torch, exactly like the "mysterious" cut columns, to free them from the debris pile.
In short, the only thing this video demonstrates is that "truther science" consists of ignoring half the evidence and applying sloppy thinking to what's left. You should be embarrassed to be spreading it around.
