INTRODUCTION
The
destruction of three skyscrapers (WTC 1, 2 and 7) on September 11, 2001
was an immensely tragic catastrophe that not only impacted thousands of
people and families directly, due to injury and loss of life, but also
provided the motivation for numerous expensive and radical changes in
domestic and foreign policy. For these and other reasons, knowing what
really happened that fateful day is of grave importance.
A
great deal of effort has been put forth by various government-sponsored
and -funded investigations, which led, in large part, to the reports
released by FEMA [1] and NIST [2]. Other studies of the destruction
have been less well publicized but are no less important to the
outstanding obligation that remains to the victims of that tragedy, to
determine the whole truth of the events of that day [3-10]. A number of these
studies have appropriately focused attention on the remaining physical
material, and on available photographs and video footage, as sources of
evidence still in public hands, relating to the method of destruction of the three skyscrapers.
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:
1.
It is composed of aluminum, iron, oxygen, silicon and carbon. Lesser
amounts of other potentially reactive elements are sometimes present,
such as potassium, sulfur, lead, barium and copper.
2.
The primary elements (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) are typically all present in
particles at the scale of tens to hundreds of nanometers, and detailed
XEDS mapping shows intimate mixing.
3. On treatment with methyl ethyl ketone solvent, some segregation of components occurred. Elemental aluminum became sufficiently concentrated to be clearly identified in the pre-ignition material.
4.
Iron oxide appears in faceted grains roughly 100 nm across whereas the
aluminum appears in thin platelike structures. The small size of the
iron oxide particles qualifies the material to be characterized as
nanothermite or super-thermite.
5.
Analysis shows that iron and oxygen are present in a ratio consistent
with Fe2O3. 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.
6.
From the presence of elemental aluminum and iron oxide in the red
material, we conclude that it contains the ingredients of thermite.
7.
As measured using DSC, the material ignites and reacts vigorously at a
temperature of approximately 430 °C, 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 900 °C) but very likely a form of super-thermite.
8.
After igniting several red/gray chips in a DSC run to 700 °C, 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.
9.
The spheroids produced by the DSC tests and by the flame test have an
XEDS signature (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) which is depleted in carbon and
aluminum relative to the original red material. This chemical signature
strikingly matches the chemical signature of the spheroids produced by
igniting commercial thermite, and also matches the signatures of many
of the microspheres found in the WTC dust [5].
10.
The carbon content of the red material indicates that an organic
substance is present. This would be expected for super-thermite
formulations in order to produce high gas pressures upon ignition and
thus make them explosive. The nature of the organic material in these
chips merits further exploration. We note that it is likely also an
energetic material, in that the total energy release sometimes observed
in DSC tests exceeds the theoretical maximum energy of the classic
thermite reaction.
Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material. Bentham Science Publishers

unreacted thermitic material
Basically powered iron and aluminium. Erh Rust and corroded steel reinforcing rods in concrete from sulphate attack. There must have been thousands of elements in the twin towers + the aluminium airframes two aircraft of the / central computers/ metal /electric wiring at 2000 degrees C + vehicles in the basement.
Usually there are simple, incidental reason behind news headlines.

A freelance job that was allowed, planned and backed by the globalist elite. The bearded boogeymen were the fall guys, the victims of the twin towers destruction. A price that Bush and other unelected elitists, shadow governments deemed was acceptable . In the launch of the NWO empire.

Even if the 9/11 families were to get their trial in the lawsuit, they
might have difficulty getting some of their new material into evidence.
Some would most likely be challenged on grounds it was irrelevant or
uncorroborated hearsay, or that it related to Saudis who were clearly
covered by sovereign immunity.

a regional war—and right in the middle of the world’s oil patch, so we

Dick Cheney was the dodgy neo-con behind this CIA gagging. It proves you can't let these anti MMGW, oil industry addicts and Iraq/Afghanistan profiteerers into power. Cheney and Rumsveldt are the two global Bogey men of the last decade. Both of them need to be tried for torture and war crimes; along with Bliar and Bush.
