We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper

One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later

As disturbing as 9/11 was, the peer-reviewed paper of Dr. Niels Harrit of the University of Copenhagen is causing shockwaves around the world.

In the paper, "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe, Open Chemical Physics Journal, Vol. 2 (2009),"
Dr. Harrit and eight other scientists from Denmark, the United States and Australia report the actual cause of the destruction of towers 1, 2 and 7 in New York almost eight years ago.

Nano-thermite, a mixture of aluminum and rust powder, reacts to intense heat of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, producing molten iron and an effective explosion. It can be used as rocket fuel and contains more energy than dynamite. Over 10 tons have been estimated to have been found in Manhattan near the site. While thermite can be bought by anyone for welding (which produces iron), the nano process is performed by and for military uses only

Some people need to give it a rest. Seriously.

Well I guess you're not one of the 775+

This is new information just published in a physics journal ... nice that they don't think like you RW.
This isn't a link from some left or right wing media rag - it's from a physics journal.

Why? ......... please be specific.

From the physics journal - this is public material so it does not have to follow the normal copyright rules as it is available free to all.

CONCLUSIONS: We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in significant numbers in dust associated with the World Trade Center destruction. We have applied SEM/XEDS and other methods to characterize the small-scale structure and chemical signature of these chips, especially of their red component. The red material is most interesting and has the following characteristics:

Quote:

5. Analysis shows that iron and oxygen are present in a ratio consistent with Fe The red material in all four WTC dust samples was similar in this way. Iron oxide was found in the pre-ignition material whereas elemental iron was not.

Quote:

7. As measured using DSC, the material ignites and reacts vigorously at a temperature of approximately 430C, with a rather narrow exotherm, matching fairly closely an independent observation on a known super-thermite sample.

The low temperature of ignition and the presence of iron oxide grains less than 120 nm show that the material is not conventional thermite (which ignites at temperatures above 900C but very likely a form of super-thermite.

Quote:

8. After igniting several red/gray chips in a DSC run to 700C, we found numerous iron-rich spheres and spheroids in the residue, indicating that a very high temperature reaction had occurred, since the iron-rich product clearly must have been molten to form these shapes.

In several spheres, elemental iron was verified since the iron content significantly exceeded the oxygen content. We conclude that a high-temperature reduction-oxidation reaction has occurred in the heated chips, namely, the thermite reaction.

keep up the good work, conspiracy theorists.......the real answer lies on the grassy knoll

Why don't you at least take the time to read the journal article before you post. Do you have any knowledge to explain the thermite ... no ... you don't. But you "Tanked" from the PoFo forum feel so inclined to debunk scientists ... classic thread title knee-jerk reaction posting.

"Spheres formed during ignition of commercial thermite, with corresponding typical XDS spectrum"

"Spheres formed during ignition of red/gray chip in DSC, with corresponding typical XEDS spectrum

"Spheres extracted from WTC dust" and "XEDS spectrum from a sphere found in the WTC dust"
