I’d like to see evidence that a plane crashed in Pennsylvania, and the pentagon too. Where did all the plane parts go? I’d also like to know how thermite ends up mixed with bone fragments 100s of yards away from the collapsed towers. Is there any logical reason to find thermite in the dust at high concentrations?
No thermite was ever found. In fact the guys who ran the test that supposedly showed thermitic materials did not run any tests that would actually reveal if they had thermite or not. They promised to six years ago after their paper, but they have not.
A very simple test is to see if the material would ignite in an inert, non-oxygen environment. Thermite has its own oxygen sources so it would ignite. If it didn't ignite, you have conclusively proven no thermite.
It's now known what substance they did examine. It's an thin layers of aluminum silicate expoxied to rust.....tiny flakes of primer paint bound to steel.
You would also not need to examine the dust to prove thermite.
You would enormous qualitities of thermite for that collapse to work because while thermite get very hot, it's has less heat energy than regular stuff that would burn in a office fire. Paper has more heat energy than thermite. (Thermite is super heavy and burns out super quick.) An ice berg has more heat energy than a cigarette lighter too. To knock down two steel columns from the Chicago World's Fair they used 1500 pounds of thermite.
These enormous quantities of thermite would release an enormous amount of molten iron slag. You would see blobs of iron all around the columns when the Structural Engineers Association of New York examined them and they did not. There would be thousands of pounds of this slag around.
Thermite is also insanely bright even in sunlight. You need an arc welders mask to look at it. In Chicago, the bright light was visible two miles away.
Thermite is not used in demoltion for a variety of reasons. It's too slow to control the reaction. High Velocity explosives are much easier to work with and you get repeatable reactions. It would be virtually impossible to achieve the simultaneous collapse of the WTC floor by floor using thermite. The truthers only turned to thermite after realizing that high explosives would be far too loud to cover up. Windows would have smashed all around the WTC. If you make the explosive quiet they don't have the power to cut steel. It's impossible.
Most effective, yet TOO powerful red pill exercise ...
Ask anyone if a man can completely recover, in 2 1/2 weeks time, from getting both legs blown off at the knees.
Then, show them the 2 minute video of Jeff Bauman on the ice at the championship Bruins hockey game, vigorously waving a large, pole mounted flag overhead ... all this 19 days after having his legs blown off at the Boston Marathon.

I usually react to what is stupid and easily disprovable. So of the more far out theories have way too woo to even engage in them.
I rather debate a thermite guy than a no planer.

Ever high explosives sometimes fail.
