Has anyone ruled out...
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 11:13 AM by salvorhardin
Has anyone ruled out that it wasn't thermite/thermate but rather cigarettes dipped in liquid nitrogen that brought down the WTC towers? You can't prove it wasn't!

Smoking kills! And it could have easily killed 3,000 Americans on September 11!

2. Prove to me this wasn't how the WTC towers were brought down?
You're just using insincere rhetoric.

Not very logical.
It's your claim, you provide the proof.

3. You must have thought....
the other threads presented in this vein were really "clever". Stealing someone else's thunder is neither clever, nor original. The oct needs better material, and coordination. Thanks.

5. The frozen cigerette is being put into a flame beside the metal, LARED.
That might have something to do with it.

9. I get that part
Edited on Sat Jan-13-07 08:49 AM by LARED
It appears that the cigarette frozen by liquid nitrogen once lit by the burner, burns very hot. It's not clear why that happened.

Liquid oxygen would make sense, but not liquid N2?

11. I think it might be LOX - the blue color is right
But it would be pretty dangerous to have open flame around an oxygen enriched environment like that table top.

12. You're right
The description on the video has been changed to liquid oxygen (it said liquid nitrogen when I first looked at it).

You still can't prove this wasn't what took out the WTC towers though. ;-)
