Thermite was as least partially responsible for the collapse of the WTC towers.

1. First of all your clip was inconclusive. So I can't comment on the point your trying to make. What I can say, is that you're taking a science experiment on a small level and comparing it to actual events. This is a non- starter. http://toolmonger.com... -example of Thermite reaction with steel -compare to my original picture in question http://www.indybay.org... <> You have failed to address my main argument. There was more than just a couple of firefighters who witnessed molten steel. I am more likely to believe multiple eyewitnesses rather than a theory presented by you. (No offense, I'm sure you're a very nice guy) < > (It's molten steel, please don't confuse the audience) The video evidence of molten steel coming from the window is the same lava flows witnessed by the firefighters inside the building at different points of the building, (firefighters who have experience in fire and are far more qualified to observe fire and its effects, than say someone like you.) So again, it's not that easy to discredit the testimony of Fire "Professionals". 2. Bombs in the basement (Using Thermate and Thermite / Incendiary bombs) <> Again, just "saying" that thermite does not produce rivers of molten steel is your opinion and you have failed to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Your claim of a chemical reaction between aluminum and plaster mixed with jet fuel is laughable at best and would not explain the fact that the building collapsed into its footprint. In order for the building to collapse into its footprint, the basement areas would have to be blown out. 3. http://www.rinf.com... The second WTC janitor has come forward with eye-witness testimony of a 'bomb-like' explosion in New York's World Trade Center North Tower basement on September 11, 2001. While working in a sub-level 4 workshop of the North Tower on 9/11, Jose Sanchez heard a bomb-like explosion, had his hair burned and rescued a co-worker who had his leg and knee broken from the basement blast taking place at approximately the same time the jetliner struck the tower's top floors.### Now this is an eyewitness account of bombs going off in the basement as the planes are striking the towers. I encourage the audience to read this article as it details the events from a maintenance worker who worked in the towers for 14 years. 4. My opponent has failed to address the fact that jet fuel does not reach temperatures above 2000 degrees. The temperature it takes for steel to melt and bend like licorice, as referenced in my photo evidence. http://www.ae911truth.org... http://content.edgar-online.com... < > This is a nice fantasy, but my opponent has not provided any photo or written evidence that jet fuel burns hotter than 2000 degrees. He cannot prove that his theory is possible; in fact his theory is not true. I want to also remind the audience that my opponent has failed to provide any eyewitness accounts to refute any of my claims, the only evidence he has been able to provide is a very quaint science experiment, that when you factor in the jet fuel (can't burn hotter than 2000 degrees). It cannot be considered credible and I encourage the audience to discard my opponent's argument based on faulty and make believe science. 5. The fact that the government investigation after 7 years has failed to provide a complete investigation of WTC 7 is very telling at the least. The building in which was arguably the most unlikely to collapse, (never struck by a plane) in fact collapsed. Now I have already proven by my definitions that Thermite is used in controlled demolition, and we know that the leaseholder Silverstein gave the order to "pull it" meaning, demo the building on 9/11. "I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse." Larry Silverstein, on 9/11 How long does it take for a building to be prepped for demolition? Hours? Days? Weeks? How could the building have been demolished minutes after the order is given without intense and time consuming preparation? Buildings that are collapsed must be weakened evenly at the load bearing support beams. If we are to believe my opponents theory than how were the towers able to collapse in such an even proportionality? There are just too many questions that my opponent has failed to answer with any clarity and seriousness. I encourage the audience to vote for truth, vote pro on the resolution. Thank you.
