Question Mauddib. Does thermite/mate cause p waves? Since it doesn't explode, I would assume no.

If Scott Forbes is who I was thinking about, then why is he still alive? What does he have to gain by lying? I'll look into if he is who I'm talking about.

To make thermite go off you need explosives, and a good amount of it which would have been heard over the noise of the collapse and would have been heard at least several blocks away, yet it wasn't, and again it would have made P waves because of the explosive devices.
Conventional thermite reactions require very high temperatures for initiation. These cannot be reached with conventional black-powder fuses, nitrocellulose rods, detonators, or other common igniting substances. Even when the thermite is hot enough to glow bright red, it will not ignite as it must be at or near white-hot to initiate the reaction. It is possible to start the reaction using a propane torch if done right, but this should never be attempted for safety reasons.

Who is this "Scott Forbes"... BTW griff, not to step on your toe but yes there are people who lie to get attention among other things. I don't know who this man is or what he is claiming but you are wrong.. There are people who "gain" by lying, they gain attention, they can even gain money.

Often, strips of magnesium metal are used as fuses. Magnesium burns at approximately the temperature at which thermite reacts, around 2500 kelvin (4000 °F). This method is notoriously unreliable: magnesium itself is hard to ignite, and in windy or wet conditions the strip may be extinguished. Also, magnesium strips do not contain their own oxygen source so ignition cannot occur through a small hole. A significant danger of magnesium ignition is the fact that the metal is an excellent conductor of heat; heating one end of the ribbon may cause the other end to transfer enough heat to the thermite to cause premature ignition. Despite these issues, magnesium ignition remains popular amongst amateur thermite users.
The reaction between potassium permanganate and glycerine is used as an alternative to the magnesium method. When these two substances mix, a spontaneous reaction will begin, slowly increasing the temperature of the mixture until flames are produced. The heat released by the oxidation of glycerine is sufficient to initiate a thermite reaction. However, this method can also be unreliable and the delay between mixing and ignition can vary greatly due to factors such as particle size and ambient temperature.
Another method of igniting is to use a common sparkler to ignite the mix. These reach the necessary temperatures and provide a sufficient amount of time before the burning point reaches the sample.

I love these new stabilized images, anyone see the JFK and bigfoot stabilized?
Anyhow I believe the thermite reaction you are seeing is perfectly explainable and a natural reaction from the plane impact. The plane was aluminium, the building was rusty and the sheer friction from the impact would of been enough to create the aluminium filings and heat required to trigger the reaction. All the ingredients for a thermite reaction are there, and oh look - its coming from the same area that the plane hit. Funny that.

I could agree with this if you can show that a natural thermite reaction has ever happened before. People have tried and failed. But, like soo many other things that have never happened before...... magically happened on 9/11.

I don't buy into the no-planes theory, i am sorry but it would of been easier to use real planes. Just imagine the impact went wrong, plane hits and no kaboom? Everyone would of known. I am quite open minded and I have looked at all the holo planes theory on many different sites, transparent wings, lack of resistance from the plane, nose cone ejecting from other side that looks like a DU weapon etc.

No one is saying anything about the no plane theory. Where are you getting this? Strawman tactic?

Ok well, I guess you never heard of thermite fires caused by drilling? These can be brought about simply by drilling a rusty surface with aluminum drill tips. Good construction workers should know this and have to be careful drilling rusty metal surfaces as to not cause a thermite fire.
