rawstory.com— A coalition of nine scientists co-authored a study in The Open Chemistry and Physics Journal detailing the presence of 'active thermitic materials' in dust collected from WTC sites.

The World Trade Center buildings were designed to withstand multiple impacts from airliners.Then there is World Trade Center 7 skyscraper, which also collapsed straight down on itself, and was not hit by an airliner.The Empire State building was stuck by a bomber, the fire was put out, and the building re-opened in two weeks after repairs were made.
You DO know that thermite has a very common use in construction as a welding agent, right?Hmm. Do you think that the WTC was constructed? Or perhaps it was grown?
The towers were designed to withstand low-speed impacts from airliners no larger than a 707. Not only are the planes that hit the towers considerably larger than a 707, they were also moving at least 4 times faster than the designed-for impact speed. So at a rough guess we're looking at 20 times the anticipated kinetic energy being unloaded into the building. Wow, it's hard to imagine that causing damage that wasn't anticipated!The ESB was struck by a B-25 bomber, unloaded, at low speed. That's actually quite a small airplane, maximum takeoff weight less than 20 tons. It doesn't compare in any way to a loaded 767 (weighing anywhere from 150 to 200 tons) moving at more than 500 MPH.
It takes a very high temperature to set off thermite. This could have been painted on at any time and once the planes hit, fireball to ignite the thermite. This eliminates the need for cords making it easier for them to set it up and not get noticed. The one missing factor was where are the Det cords and how did they get them in. This kind of application would eliminate that need. This is a huge step forward.
Keep in mind that peer reviewed journals are also the primary means by which the elite suppress the truth by denying (censoring) publications. In many cases a scientific community will reject papers out of political motivation. While I agree that this research is sound, etc... I do not want to discourage people from thinking for themselves. The reliance on "experts" that are easily bought off by government is why no one believes the 9-11 truth movement. They turn off their brain and then trust government sanctioned experts (NIST Report)The government uses this process to support all kinds of false polices based upon bad science. The fact that this paper made it through the peer review process and goes against the establishment is an amazing testimony to its legitimacy.

Will we ever really know the truth about what happened on 9/11? "You can't handle the Truth!"--Jack Nickelson in some movie or other...

Like what? Would you like to present your rational evidence for your suspicions?

reiggin and Galt, The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth have engineering degrees. They don't believe the official story.
