similar to how welders commonly use thermite to manually cut steel beams in half.
the beam is literally melted in half.

Thermite can be used for quickly cutting or welding steel such as rail tracks,
without requiring complex or heavy equipment
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite#Civilian_uses

after the building collapses, all that thermate and steel then collects at the sub-basement area of the towers, and you have a very large molten pool of melted steel and burning thermate all collapsed together into a confined area at the base of the towers.

Since Aluminum melts at 1200 degrees, what's the issue here? hack89 Oct 2014 #1

Al melts but doesn't glow bright orange when heated less than 1800 degrees F! wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #2

So molten steel is common at fires? hack89 Oct 2014 #3

" So molten steel is common at fires?" wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #4

So they slathered entire columns with thermite to melt them hack89 Oct 2014 #5

for your education: wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #6

You prove my point hack89 Oct 2014 #7

nonsense! wildbilln864 Oct 2014 #8

So what was heating the steel so long after the collapse? hack89 Oct 2014 #9

Huh? gyroscope Nov 2014 #16

What about super duper Theramateite??? zappaman Nov 2014 #17

Why would there be unburnt thermite in the rubble pile? hack89 Nov 2014 #18

Thermate is a hypothetical substance? gyroscope Nov 2014 #19

Your links undercut your argument of large amounts of unburnt thermate in the rubble pile hack89 Nov 2014 #20

"Unburned thermate" gyroscope Nov 2014 #21

You said there was unburnt thermite in the rubble pile, not Jones hack89 Nov 2014 #22

Nonsense gyroscope Nov 2014 #23

But the thermite would not have melted the steel beams hack89 Nov 2014 #24

Thermite cuts by melting gyroscope Nov 2014 #26

But it only melts a very small portion of the steel hack89 Nov 2014 #27

Doesn't matter if the thermate was expended gyroscope Nov 2014 #28

There was not enough molten steel to form pools hack89 Nov 2014 #29

Wrong again gyroscope Nov 2014 #32

They covered the vertical columns with tons of thermate and miles of det cord completely undetected? hack89 Nov 2014 #33

Det cord? lol gyroscope Nov 2014 #35

So you of course can show where large building demolitions are routinely done with wireless? hack89 Nov 2014 #37

Not going to address the tons of thermate? Don't blame you. hack89 Nov 2014 #38

Wrong on all counts. nt gyroscope Nov 2014 #80

So cutting the columns would not collapse the building? hack89 Nov 2014 #81

That's not what I said gyroscope Nov 2014 #82

There were only forty or so core columns hack89 Nov 2014 #83

It's been explained several times gyroscope Nov 2014 #85

ok zappaman Nov 2014 #86

So if all the core columns are cut the WTC would not collapse? hack89 Nov 2014 #87

Do you agree that the WTC collapse obviously looked like CD? nt hack89 Nov 2014 #84

No doubt about that! gyroscope Nov 2014 #89

Which means the columns did not have to be melted, just cut. hack89 Nov 2014 #91
