Thermate is the controlled demolition explosive thermite plus sulfur. Sulfur cases the thermite to burn hotter, cutting steel quickly and leaving trails of yellow colored residue. Prof. Steven Jones, who conducted his PhD research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and post-doctoral research at Cornell University and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, has analyzed materials from WTC and has detected the existence of thermate, used for " cutting " the steel support columns, as evident in the photo below. (picture at the site) Dr. Jones is a co-founder of Scholars for 911 Truth. Dr. Jones in earlier work pointed to thermate as the likely explosive that brought down the WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 skyscrapers. But only recently was physical material analyzed in the lab and the presence of thermate announced. The samples were provided Dr. Jones team from redundant sources. Both BYU and Prof. Jones have been offered additional grants if he would " change the direction " of his research. In addition, there have been threats made by an individual who " is taking action " to stop Steven Jones' research, specifically his experiment with thermites (aluminothermics), on the grounds his work may be helpful to " terrorists " . Jones notes that much more detailed information on both thermite and thermate is readily available on the Internet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [see video comparisons of thermite/ate here and compare to WTC photos and live video below--both video links available from here: _http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/04/338202.shtml_ (http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/04/338202.shtml) ] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See a photo of ground zero, and read more at the Portland IMC: _http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml_ (http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml) Clarification by Steven E. Jones Monday, Jun 19 2006, 9:56pm hardevidence Just a quick clarification: As I said in my talk at the Chicago conference, and in my remarks to Alex Jones, the results so far on the analysis of the previously-molten metal samples are PRELIMINARY. I emphasized that, in fact. The samples are predominantly iron, so we can rule out the 'molten aluminum' hypothesis with a high degree of confidence. There is very little chromium, so that the 'molten structural steel' hypothesis is highly suspect. Yes, there is sulfur -- but proving the use of 'thermate' positively will certainly require further analyses and comparisons with samples of known origin (such as thermate-products). And that analysis takes a lot of time, unfortunately. Patience is a virtue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other media reports at: _http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & ie=ISO-8859-1 & q=BYU+Physics+Prof+Finds+The rmate+in+WTC+Physical+Samples & btnG=Google+Search_ (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & ie=ISO-8859-1 & q=BYU+Physics+Prof+Finds+Therm\ ate+in+WTC+Physical+Sample s & btnG=Google+Search) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
