When
a former worker from the World Trade Center came forward recently with
crucial and verifiable information about what was really on the 81st floor
of the South Tower (WTC 2), he broke up a logjam of unanswered questions
about the source of the molten metal seen falling from the tower before its
collapse on 9-11.
Based
on this important piece of information from a former IT professional who
worked with computers in the Twin Towers, I was able to determine that the
two airplanes that struck the twin towers of the World Trade Center on 9-11
had directly impacted secure computer rooms in both buildings: the first on
the 95th floor of the North Tower; the second on the 81st floor of the South
Tower.
This
information raises new questions: Were the computer rooms equipped to play a
role in the crime? Were there homing devices or computers in these rooms
that used precision-guidance systems to direct the planes into the towers?
Did these computer rooms contain pre-placed explosives or forms of Thermite
to destroy evidence, create an incendiary spectacle, and weaken the
structure prior to the collapses?
EVIDENCE OF THERMITE
Photographic
evidence strongly suggests that the secure computer rooms in both towers
contained forms of Thermite, which had been pre-placed to destroy evidence
and facilitate the collapse of the immense steel-frame towers while creating
a deadly pyrotechnic spectacle. After examining the photographic and
physical evidence, Professor Steven E. Jones of Brigham Young University has
concluded that the yellow and white glowing metal pouring from the east
corner of the 81st floor of the South Tower was probably molten iron created
by a Thermite reaction.
It
could not have been molten aluminum as the federal government's Final Report
on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers (NIST, 2005) speculates,
Jones says, because, among other things, molten aluminum would appear
silver-grey in daylight conditions. Having tested pieces of hardened molten
metal from the twin towers, Jones found that they were composed primarily of
iron, not structural steel. This is positive physical evidence of an
aluminothermic reaction, more commonly known as Thermite, having occurred in
conjunction with the collapse of the twin towers and WTC 7.
Aluminothermics refers to the intense exothermic (heat producing) reactions
that occur when powdered aluminum reacts with powdered iron oxide and/or
other elements and oxides. Copper, potassium permanganate, zinc- and barium
nitrate are among the additives Jones has found evidence of in the dust from
the World Trade Center. The Thermite reaction produces an extremely hot
reaction (up to 2500 °C or 4500 °F), which creates molten iron and aluminum
oxide. The molten iron produced from Thermite is white hot and the aluminum
oxide is a white smoke.
EVIDENCE OF SULFIDATION
Thermate is a variant of Thermite that contains additives to enhance certain
effects. It may contain pyrotechnic additives, such as barium nitrate, for
incendiary purposes. The addition of barium nitrate increases its thermal
effect, creates flame in burning and significantly reduces the ignition
temperature.
The
addition of 2 percent sulfur to Thermite improves the steel-cutting
properties by creating a eutectic that will melt steel at much lower
temperatures. Eutectic comes from the Greek word "eutektos," which means
"easily melted." Thermate cuts through steel like "a warm knife through
butter," Jones says.
The
FEMA-sponsored Building Performance Study of 2002 contains evidence of
melted steel caused by sulfidation and oxidation. This is found in the
"Limited Metallurgical Examination" written by Professor Jonathan Barnett.
The NIST report, however, fails to address the evidence of sulfidation found
in the structural steel from the WTC. Barnett examined two pieces of melted
steel: one from the WTC 7, the other from the TwinTowers. About the first
piece, Barnett wrote: "The thinning of the steel occurred by a
high-temperature corrosion due to the combination of oxidation and
sulfidation." This was done by "a eutectic mixture of iron, oxygen, and
sulfur that liquefied the steel," he concluded.
Barnett
found the same sulfidation in the piece of melted steel from the Twin
Towers. "The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are
a very unusual event," Barnett wrote. "No clear explanation for the source
of the sulfur has been identified." Professor Jones points to Thermate, with
2 percent sulfur, as being the most likely culprit. The oxidation and
sulfidation of the steel requires the oxygen and sulfur being "intimately in
contact with the metal at high temperature," Jones said.
VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THERMATE
The
molten iron seen falling from the South Tower's eastern corner before it
collapsed must have weighed many tons. One cubic meter of iron weighs about
8.5 tons and it certainly looks like several cubic meters poured from the
81st floor shortly before it collapsed. But what could have been the source
of so much iron on the 81st floor?
The
NIST report gives no answers to this crucial question. In this respect, the
NIST report is a good example of studied ignorance. Not only does NIST fail
to provide any information about what was on the crucial floors of the South
Tower (79, 81, and 82), but they actually suggest that these floors
contained normal office materials.
"There
were vigorous fires on the east side of the 80th through 83rd floors,
especially on the northeast end of the 81st and 82nd floors, where the
aircraft had bulldozed the office desks and chairs and added its own
combustibles," the NIST report says in its "Account of WTC 2."
From
the NIST report the reader gets the impression that these were normal office
floors with "desks and chairs," although that was definitely not the case
with the 81st floor while the contents of the 82nd and 79th floors remain
unknown. Fuji Bank was the tenant of floors 79-82, yet for some reason the
NIST researchers were unable or unwilling to provide any description of the
contents of these crucial floors – four years after 9-11.
A
former Japanese bank employee recently came forward and explained that the
81st floor was an entire floor of server-size computer batteries: Fuji Bank
had reinforced the 81st floor, he said, so the floor could support more
weight. The entire floor was then filled with server-size Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS) batteries.
These
units were bolted to a raised floor about 3 feet above the reinforced 81st
floor. "The whole floor was batteries," he said, "huge battery-looking
things." They were "all black" and "solid, very heavy" things that had been
brought in during the night. They had been put in place during the summer
prior to 9-11, he said.
But
were they really batteries or were they Thermate? "It's weird," he said.
"They were never turned on."
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THERMATE EXPLOSIONS
Were
these batteries the source of the molten iron seen falling from the 81st
floor? Was Thermate in these "batteries"? Is there evidence to prove
Thermate was used on the 81st floor?
Before
addressing these questions, allow me to explain how Thermate may have been
used in the crash zones:
The
perverse terrorist team that planned the destruction of the Twin Towers
apparently used Hollywood expertise to create an incendiary spectacle. They
employed remote control devices and precision guidance systems to fly the
planes into the towers at precisely the points where they had pre-placed
explosives and Thermate incendiary bombs.
Immediately before the planes, or specially prepared drones, hit the towers,
missiles carried beneath the fuselage were fired into the buildings. These
missiles, which contained depleted uranium (DU), caused the white flashes
seen before the planes hit the towers. This white flash is evidence of a
pyrophoric white-hot uranium penetrator, which bores through everything it
hits and creates a super-heated space as it burns at extremely hot
temperatures. Asked if a white-hot DU penetrator would set off Thermate,
Jones said, "Definitely."
The DU
penetrator would carry on through the tower unless it were stopped by a core
column or some other extremely dense object. In fact, a white-hot burning
object with the characteristics of a DU penetrator is clearly seen coming
out ahead of the fireball that engulfed the SouthTower. If DU missiles were
used, they would have created a super-heated space in which any combustible,
such as atomized jet fuel, explosives, or Thermate, would ignite
immediately.
While
the orange and black fireballs caused by the burning jet fuel are easily
recognized in photographs, there is visible evidence of Thermate seen in the
dust and smoke – the conspicuous white smoke of aluminum oxide.
Photo
below: the fireball at the entrance (on the left side of the photo) is
grayish, and at the exit (on the right side) is full of soot. This is
evidence that the fireball at the left has a lot more thermite and/or other
explosives in it, while the fireball as the exit is full of jet fuel. The
white streams along the side of the building might be from packages of
thermite that are burning as they fall.
THE
WHITE SMOKE OF WTC 1
On the
95th floor of WTC 1, Marsh & McLennan had a "large walled data center," a
secure computer room along the north and east sides of the tower. And that's
exactly where the plane hit – the north wall of the 95th floor.
The
plane struck the North Tower right in the middle of the north face. The nose
of the plane struck the 130th perimeter column at the 96th floor slab and
something, perhaps the nose landing gear, carried on right through the
middle of the building and severed three columns on the south side of the
tower.
An
image caught on video immediately after the plane struck the tower shows a
huge fireball engulfing the north face of the building where the plane hit.
But from the east side of the tower a suspicious huge white dust cloud is
emerging that looks like an exploding bale of cotton. It is pure white and
shows no signs of burning jet fuel. This white dust is emerging from the
east wall of the tower, from the level and side occupied by the computer
room.
An
explosion of white smoke accompanied the impact of the first plane.
Professor Jones, when shown this photo, said, "It looks very much like
aluminum oxide dust." The white smoke is clearly coming out of the east side
of the building and is also seen behind the orange and sooty cloud that is
rising on the north side of the tower. It is very clear that two very
different materials are exploding in the crash area: jet fuel and perhaps
some form of Thermate, which is producing the telltale white smoke.
The
NIST report does not mention the white smoke or dust seen coming out of the
North Tower and attributes these clouds to 10,000 gallons of burning fuel
mixed with dust:
Atomized jet fuel is highly flammable (similar to kerosene), so both the hot
debris and the numerous pieces of electrical and electronic gear in the
offices were more than sufficient as ignition sources. A surge of combusting
fuel rapidly filled the floors, mixing with dust from the pulverized walls
and floor slabs.
The
pressure created by the heated gases forced the ignited mist out the
entrance gash and blown-out windows on the east and south sides of the
tower. The resulting fireballs could be seen for miles, precipitating many
911 calls.
Isn't
it odd that the explosion, which was supposedly caused by jet fuel
combusting in the middle of the building, did not affect the western façade
as it had the eastern? Why did the east side of the building react so
differently from the west side? And why is the smoke coming from the east
side such a bright white and completely lacking any of the characteristics
of burning jet fuel?
Is this
where Thermate incendiary devices had been placed – in the computer room of
Marsh & McLennan? If Thermate bombs had been pre-placed in the 95th floor
computer room, who put them there? Certainly Marsh & McLennan must know or
have records of who had access to that room and what was in it. This
information needs to be revealed.

the rest of the smoke is black.

WHITE SMOKE FROM WTC 2
The
bright orange and black fireballs that erupted from the South Tower are
indelibly seared in the memory of the modern world. But here again, there
was a conspicuous white cloud that is not easily explained by the burning
jet fuel.
The
explosions coming from the point of entry and the east wall have the
characteristics of Thermate. Note the white smoke and bright orange flame;
this is not from burning jet fuel.
Again,
the NIST report points only to burning jet fuel:
Within
about one half of a second, dust and debris flew out of windows on the east
and north faces. Several small fireballs of atomized jet fuel burst from
windows on the east face of the 81st and 82nd floors, coalescing into a
single, large fireball that spanned the entire face. A tenth of a second
later, fire appeared in the dust clouds ejected from the south face of the
79th, 81st, and 82nd floors.
The
plane passed from left to right. The explosion coming from the point of
entry is unusually strong and exhibits the artificial orange flame and white
smoke of Thermate with barium nitrate.
"The
fireballs burned for 10 seconds, extending almost 200 feet out from the
north, east, and south faces," NIST reports. "Having consumed the aerosol
fuel, the flames then receded." From the south face of WTC 2, the "dust
clouds" that emerged look nothing like combusting jet fuel. They look much
more like the white smoke of Thermate than burning kerosene.
The
massive aircraft and its estimated 9,100 gallons of fuel hit the south face
of the South Tower at 540 mph and carried on through the east and north
sides. But what is exploding out of the south side of the tower a fraction
of a second later? The huge whitish cloud of dust that comes from the south
face has orange flame within it but has none of the dark orange and black
colors seen in the jet fuel fireballs that emerged from the north and east
sides of the tower. This white dust lacks any visible evidence of burning
kerosene but was expelled from the tower at least 250 feet. What was the
force pushing it out if no jet fuel is seen in it or behind it?
As one
looks up at the three fireballs emerging from the explosion that occurred at
the crash level of the SouthTower, it is clear to see, from the color of the
flame and soot, that the jet fuel is primarily in the front of the fireball.
The further one looks to the rear, toward the point of entry, the less
evidence one sees of burning kerosene.
When
the SouthTower begins to collapse, huge amounts of white smoke are pushed
from the tower. Furthermore, prior to every documented flow of molten metal,
NIST observed puffs of dust. The photographic and physical evidence proves
that Thermate was used in the destruction of the towers and strongly
suggests that it had been pre-placed on the floors that the planes hit.
If Arab
terrorists did not pre-position Thermate in the secure computer rooms and
throughout the TwinTowers and WTC 7, who did? Finding what was on these
crucial floors and who had access to these floors and secure computer rooms
will help identify the real culprits of 9-11.

There is not much soot in a fireball at the entrance hole.

fireball looks more like a sooty, hydrocarbon fire.

create that white smoke?
