Discussion on Thermite Theory in Building Collapse

And you can see how this photograph has been subtly changed, and he,

Dr. Jones was pointing out these little white

dots that you can see in the

right-hand image, and he said, "Oh, you can see this thermite reacting." And

thermite is an incendiary. It's not even an explosive.

He was claiming that this was the main destructive mechanism of the,

of

the buildings.

Yeah, I've, I've heard this thermite theory from this

guy called Richard Gage.

Correct. Correct.

Uh, and, uh, the qu- the question that I have about that, and, uh,

you know, maybe we'll talk to him in the upcoming

days, uh,

but thermite is a very bright ... Like, it's, it,

it, it's has this, uh, light that, that emanates.

That's right.

And it's almost, it's blinding, a very small amount of it.

Enough thermite to take down buildings of that size, 110-story

structures like that, uh, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that

that would look like a quarter of the sun was burning in New York City.

Go to the next slide, number seven, and you'll get a s- kind of feel for that.

And, and, and this again is, you're exactly right, Stu.
