Physicist says heat substance felled WTC
Jonathan | 12 Apr 2006There has been much controversy since the plane crashes of 9/11 as to what really happened. Many have jumped on a bandwagon stating it was an inside job…a conspiracy connected to the American Government. Many others, perhaps the majority, jumped on the bandwagon of popular belief…that it was a terrorist attack that America was victim to and knew little or nothing about before it actually took place. There there are various other camps that state something within these two extremes views is what took place.
Here is an article regarding one scientist’s hypothesis as to what created the intense heat believed to be necessary to have caused the structural damage to steel inside the building in order for it to collapse as it did. The source of this heat continues to this day (nearly five years later) to be an enigma.

Physicist says heat substance felled WTC
Extremely hot fires caused structures to fail, BYU expert says

“It looks like thermite with sulfur added, which really is a very clever idea,” Steven Jones, professor of physics at BYU, told a meeting of the Utah Academy of Science, Arts and Letters at Snow College Friday.
The government requires standard explosives to contain tag elements enabling them to be traced back to their manufacturers. But no tags are required in aluminum and iron oxide, the materials used to make thermite, he said. Nor, he said, are tags required in sulfur.
Jones is co-chairman, with James H. Fetzer, a distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a group of college faculty members who believe conspirators other than pilots of the planes were directly involved in bringing down New York’s Trade Towers.
Last year, Jones presented various arguments for his theory that explosives or incendiary devices were planted in the Trade Towers, and in WTC 7, a smaller building in the Trade Center complex, and that those materials, not planes crashing into the buildings, caused the buildings to collapse.
At that time, he mentioned thermite as the possible explosive or incendiary agent. But Friday, he said he is increasingly convinced that thermite and sulfur were the root causes of the 9/11 disaster.
He told college professors and graduate students from throughout Utah gathered for the academy meeting that while almost no fire, even one ignited by jet fuel, can cause structural steel to fail, the combination of thermite and sulfur “slices through steel like a hot knife through butter.”
