Just the right kind of explosives for the job. To the elevator shafts…then a team of expert loaders would have hiddenĪccess to the core columns and beams. “looking at the building it wouldn’t be a problem - once you gain access Asked how he thought it might have been done he posited, World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11 was a classic controlled 'that he knew from the first day that the destruction of In an interview with Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Sullivan stated: 'Fire cannot bring down steel-framed high rises - period.' Tom Sullivan grew up with the son of Jack Loizeaux, president and founder of CDI,and a pioneer in the controlled demolitions industry. (CDI,) which was contracted to help with the clean-up phase at Ground Zero, said in an interview: On 9/11, cutter charges would simply have been much bigger versions of the steel beam cutter charge (linear shape charge) demonstrated in the video below:Ī demolitions expert formerly with Controlled Demolitions Inc. Thus the evidence again fits what we would expect to find in a demolition that was a combination of thermite, and cutter and kicker charges.

in liquid state - for long periods of time. With the melting point of steel at 2800F, and the thermite reaction reaching temperatures of 5,000F, the reaction would produce enough heat-energy to keep steel molten - i.e. This would require a powerful exothermic reaction, hot enough not just to melt steel, but to raise its temperature considerably above melting point in order for heat to be stored, in the same way that water brought to near boiling cools down into the solid state of ice far more slowly than water at room temperature. One thing which stands out about the presence of molten steel in the basements is that it stayed molten for so long, reported for weeks and even months afterwards. This would be when firefighters were reporting that the fires were under control and almost out. Molten iron and steel was not observed dripping from the building until about ten minutes before destruction. Thermite melting the core columns so that all load is transferred to the perimeter columns would give precisely this effect.Īnother spectacular coincidence is the 'fireproofing upgrades' which took place a year before 9/11, but only on floors of or near impact in both Towers, floors 92 - 100 in WTC1, and 77 - 78 of WTC2, which required the vacating of tenants during the work ( page 42, NIST NCSTAR1-6A.) Twin Tower core backbone under constructionĪnother interesting use of thermite can be seen the moment just before each demolition when the perimeter columns around the impact areas seem to bow outward, giving the impression of overload.

In the below images we see the principle support columns in the 'core' of WTC 1, an extensively cross-braced steel assembly which served as the backbone of the towers, and held 70% of the weight. Even then, failed demolitions are not uncommon. It is a difficult undertaking to remove all supports nearly simultaneously in redundantly engineered modern high-rises, with extensive cross-bracing which transfers load from compromised members to sound ones.

Banana peel demolitions are used for taller, narrower buildings, where there is danger of the building tipping over should the bottom be cut and the rest of the sequence not execute perfectly.īut first, just how does a demolition work? Students of the truth about 9/11 will not be surprised to learn that it is essentially the art and science of causing to happen what cannot happen without careful engineering: all structural supports in a building must be cut at essentially the same time, so that all pieces are falling at free-fall acceleration through thin air.
