The 'nano-thermite' clip

I have to thank my buddy Angie for forwarding this fascinating clip my way.

A team of research scientists has just published the results of an 18 month analysis of the 'dirt' from the wreckage site of the World Trade Center. They claim to have found a 'loaded gun' with the presence of large amounts of nano-thermite compound. It has a low ignition temperature, can melt metal, and is a highly explosive substance. Around since the late 1800's, consisting of aluminum and rust powder, there is no other conceivable reason for the high concentration of the unreacted material to be on site, other than for demolition purposes, according to the report.

I stopped 'processing' the tragedy of 9/11 some time ago. Moving on to global economic collapse, AIG, all the 'new' president's men, No. Korea; I feel that time will reveal things when appropriate discoveries arise. I think back to the pain-staking effort that was put into recovering every remnant of Pan Am Flight 103 that exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. Putting the plane back together took over 2 years in a hanger, yielding a fragment of a transistor radio that housed the bomb, a timing device fragment found among clothing remnants that matched a batch of 20 sold to the Libyan government in 1985, and a clothing label to a shop in Malta that was the piece of evidence that tied it all together.

And now we have a new angle to solve a crime that lives in infamy in the psyche of Americans. Dr. Niels Harrit, the Danish scientist who is interviewed in the clip, claims that the amount of nano-thermite needed to do the damage it did to bring down the THREE buildings was somewhere between 10 and 100 tonnes! Quantities that he suggests would have had to be brought in by pallet, and goes further to suggest that the company in charge of security for the buildings needs to be scrutinized.

This could be a flight of fancy but it certainly sounds plausible. It inspired hope in me, because the passage of time has dimmed the immediacy for knowing the final truths about 9/11, and now we have been given reason for re-examination. Thanks a bunch, Angie, for the heads-up.
