Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe

Danish Scientist Proves the World Trade Center was “brought down by mixture of explosives and incendiaries based on a thermite reaction” <!--break--> <img class="dada-image-center" src="http://rochester.indymedia.org/sites/default/files/migrate_dada/priyaharrit.jpg"><br> I always thought if we just looked close enough at the attacks of September 11th, 2001, we would find clues to the truth. I didn’t realize “close” meant looking on the atomic level. Trained in organic photochemistry and photo physics, and specifically photo physics of nano-structures, and structural dynamics of photochemical processes, Dr. Neils Harrit of Copenhagen, Denmark explained to me how an incendiary substance called thermite was found in the dust samples from ground zero in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. “We describe our findings from the WTC dust,” says Dr. Harrit, who refuses to discuss politics and remains focused strictly on scientific process and methods of research and evidence. “Scientists try to understand and explain things. When you can’t explain something, you have a problem” said Harrit. “At first it took me a couple of weeks to understand what I had seen. But since then, there was no way back.” The dust from ground zero, when viewed under electron microscope reveals indisputable evidence of Nano-Thermite, a highly specialized military grade incendiary material. Apparently, nano-thermite can either be strictly incendiary or combined with other chemicals for use as a hi powered explosive. Initially, Dr. Harrit “met a lot of silence” when he announced his findings, but he eventually joined a team of scientists, which led to the publication of a paper in the peer review journal, Open Chemical Physics Journal. The ground zero dust examined contained microscopic “spheres of iron indicative of a chemical process called thermite.” The round spheres, explains Dr. Harrit, is the “behavior of liquid droplets” formed when molten steel beams which once held up the WTC towers were liquefied. He then emphasized that it was &quot;physically impossible” for the steel beams to melt from jet fuel fires, which could not achieve the necessary temperatures required to melt steel, let alone transform steel beams into molten liquid. Only thermite, specifically nano-thermite, a classified military grade incendiary substance could achieve the necessary temperature to liquefy steel beams. Dr. Harrit said, “That steel could melt in a such a hydrocarbon fire is pure rubbish!” He added. “We don’t speculate. It is beyond scientific doubt that the buildings did not collapse due to jet fuel fires or planes hitting them. Only the ones who planted the explosives really know but when you apply explosives there is always traces, residue, something left… this is very strong forensic evidence for the use of thermite.” The red/grey chips, Dr. Harrit refers to, only seen with a high powered microscope are “still active thermitic material, which react when heated,” says Dr. Harrit. Thermite is the reason that ground zero smoldered for 3 months after the attacks. “It was no ordinary fire, millions of gallons of water could not put out the fire because it has its own oxygen source despite being under tons of rubble.” Protocol requires that fire experts investigate for explosives but standard operating procedure was ignored. No such investigation ever occurred until Dr. Harrit decided to examine the dust. When asked why the government did not investigate, Dr. Harrit said, they refused with the excuse that “we won’t look for what isn’t there.” That is a “circular argument” he said, because “if you haven’t looked, you don’t know if it is there or not.” The government explanation known also as the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) report, &quot;accounts only for the impact and not for the collapse itself. Their timeline stops just before the towers actually collapse.” When I gave him a typical New Yorker “you’re fucking kidding me” look, he said, “I laughed out loud the first time I saw it.” He cites footnote 13 on page 82 of the NIST report as “the most important footnote since the cold war,” which says that the findings “do not cover the collapse itself.” Dr. Harrit said he interpreted that as a “message to other scientists that we’re going along with this farce because we have bills to pay.” Dr. Harrit like other “scientists for truth” dismiss the government’s “pancake theory” that the WTC collapsed due to the weight of floors falling on each other. “It is impossible for the buildings to fall through the path of greatest resistance at free fall speeds without meeting any resistance unless the internal supports were removed, which they were,” says Engineer Richard Gage, founder of “Architects &amp;amp; Engineers for 9/11 Truth”. “We have direct evidence of explosive destruction,” says Gage, adding, “an asymmetrical process like fire cannot cause a symmetrical process like the precise demolition we saw.” &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Furthermore, no steel framed hi rise building in modern history has ever collapsed from fires which raged from 6-18 hours. The WTC buildings burned for less than an hour. Additionally, hundreds of first responders including medical personnel, WTC building personnel, firefighters and police officers &amp;amp; other eye witnesses report hearing distinct explosions prior to the actual collapse. These eyewitness accounts were also ignored in the official government NIST report. “Steel beams shooting out at high speeds, also indicate explosive forces,” said Gage, who referred to the thermite’s “chemical signature” as “the longest smoking gun in history.” In reducing complex physics and chemistry to a sound bite, Dr. Harrit says, “the WTC was brought down by a mixture of explosives and incendiaries based on a thermite reaction.” Since Dr. Harrit published his paper, “tens of thousands of scientists have reviewed it, and no one has shot it down,” he says, as he referred to the molecular evidence of thermite in the WTC dust samples as “the last nail the 9/11 coffin.” Indeed, as the dust settles,... we will see even more clearly. When asked why more scientists do not come forward, Dr. Harrit replied, “It’s a bad career move. My friends ask my why I did this and I tell them, I’m opposed to crime. This is a crime that has not been investigated. Someday when it is properly investigated, we will be there with the hard science and forensic evidence.” He adds, “I have six grandchildren, and someday when they ask me, which side were you on, I will be able to tell them, I was on your side.”
