"The photo with the angled cut column has somehow taken on an almost mythical status amongst some people in the 9/11 movement. In this short video I explain that it's not evidence of thermite and how it could very well have been done by cleanup crews with a thermic lance.

So, let's look at some real evidence of explosives on the core columns. Gordon Ross' theory, in which concussion charges are placed against the welds of the thickest core columns, explains exactly what we see in the pile; column ends that are bent, broken and exploded. You can watch his presentation on YouTube (part 1, part 2, part 3)."

1. Thanks, rep. I was always skeptical about that after the guys here at DU

explained a couple of years ago at least that it was probably an
artifact of the cleanup.

They said it was angle cut so it could be pulled down by a crane
in a controlled manner, and pointed to the biscuit at the side
as a latch to be broken. They talked about how you could stick
a thermal lance in through the back. It sounded pretty convincing
to me.

I was very glad to hear that Richard Gage's new video no longer
features the angle cut.

3. They wouldn't leave such obvious evidence

Personally, I think the thermite theory is unproveable and just a set up to make non conspiracy theorists (who don't believe the islamic conspiracy theory) look wrong.

4. thanx reprehensor

I've seen the photo and the claim that it was cut by thermite,
I googled for a piece of steel, cut by thermite and by explosives
but I didn't get very good photo's

..it could very well have been done by cleanup crews with a thermic lance.
