debunked-iron-microspheres-in-9-11-wtc-dust-as-evidence-for-thermite.t2523/
www.metabunk.org...
Have fun folks, ten years ago the board look just the same, argue argue, you will never win no matter what side your on, you will however get board and go away, just like me and many thousands before me..
Carry on if you must..
The iron microspheres (as evidence for thermite) were debunked years ago, but they keep coming up. The bottom line is:
Iron Microspheres form from condensed vaporized iron or from molten iron
You can melt iron by igniting it with a Bic lighter, if the pieces of iron are thin enough.
There are several other sources of iron microspheres
Iron microspheres were expected in the WTC dust

So you cannot cite where lee claimed anything about 3600 degrees Fahrenheit and the WTC actual being 3600 degrees in 9/11??

So you are saying a structure that was welded together, in a city of welded together structures, in a country that burns coal are not contained by products of high temperature processes?

RJ Lee group found evidence of 3600* F, who can tell me where that heat came from ?

Iron Microspheres in the Context of the World Trade Center Dust
Well, let’s start with the basics. The World Trade Center was a building with many iron‐based components. There were structural components such as beams and electrical conduit. There were building contents such as desks and file cabinets.
Now, the building is hit by two jet airplanes resulting in a fire fed by jet fuel. The electrical system is compromised resulting in high voltage, high amperage electrical arcing between the wires and the conduit. The fire is in a building with a central core of elevator shafts that act like a chimney efficiently providing the oxygen needed for combustion. The air and other gasses are flowing with hurricane force speeds. The fire is sufficiently hot to exceed the plastic strength of the structural steel and the building collapses.
What about the iron microspheres? The iron has a thin layer of rust flakes that can be easily removed by sticky tape. The iron is heated red hot or hotter and subjected to hurricane force blast furnace like wind. The iron flakes are liberated as small particles and some iron is vaporized. Like drops of water, the iron flakes form molten spheres that solidify and the fume also condenses into spheres, the most efficient geometrical form. Incidentally, iron is not the only material that formed spheres during the event. Some building material is made of minerals containing aluminum and silicon and alumino‐silicate spheres were also observed in the dust.
The formation of iron and other type spheres at temperatures obtainable by the combustion of petroleum or coal based fuels is not a new or unique process. These spheres are the same as iron and alumino‐silicate spheres in the well‐studied fly ash formed from contaminants in coal as it is burned in furnaces.

, the heads of a commission stating they were set up to fail means something.
I prefer the world of the analytical thinkers,

Ah, so you’re inferring that THEY believe temps were up to 3600.
In order to vaporize Led temps of 3600* F must be reached, so yes thats what they believe, really not to hard to understand.... or look up for yourself..
Did you write them and ask?
Did you go to your local university and ask?
Or are you satisfied with what you’ve got so no need to investigate?
