"Cloverfield"

Do we really need the horror of 9/11 to be repackaged and presented to us as an amusement-park ride?

    Why people believe it is a controlled demolition.

    A minute before the collapse a camera catches molten iron pouring from the corner of the floor near the impact area. Jet fuel and burning office gear does not melt iron. Thermite and thermate produce molten iron. Thermite and thermate produce a white or light smoke just as is shown in the video. Thermite and thermate are used in controlled demolitions of buildings to cut through the supporting steel columns prior to the detonation of charges to knock the cut girders loose and cause the collapse. There is no other reasonable explanation for the presence of molten iron pouring our of the corner side of the building.

    The only reason that we see the flow of molten iron from that part of the building is because the exterior wall had been dislodged by the impact of the aircraft. There were pools of molten iron in the basements of the Towers that remained molten for weeks. Most of the thermite or thermate charges were hidden from view, otherwise, how do you account for the volume of molten iron?

    After the thermite or thermate burn was completed and the girders cut, the explosive demolition charges were set to knock the structure apart. This happens seconds after the flow of molten iron is seen.Huge beaems are hurled a hundred a fifty feet across the street and conrete is pulverized into a fine powder at the top of the building where the knietic energy would have been the least.

    One of the beams that was cut with thermite or thermate is clearly visible in one famous photo of a fireman in the foreground in the debris pile and the melt along the edge or the beam is clearly visible. It didn't just shear or fracture, it was cut with melting heat. The angle of the cut is the same as is used to bring down buildings in controlled demolition.

    You could get me to believe that some morons would hijack an airplane and fly it into a building, but i cannot buy them packing the building with thermite or thermate.

    The molten iron doesn't make sense unless the building was rigged prior to the airplane hitting it.

    Either you haven't looked at the videos or you think that steel girders just melt when you hold a match to them. Most of the official story is based on the steel being weakened by the heat with no mention or suggestion of it being melted. Because they know it couldn't happen without thermite or thermate which are used in controlled demolitions.

    Well maybe they had a blast furnace from a steel mill up there.

    All you have to do is go to youtube and do a search on theremite thermate and wtc or 911.

    The country is run by proven liars and science has nothing to do with believing their lies.

    The evidence was destroyed and "recycled" by people who should have known better.
