He talks about molten steel which is a wrong representation of the official explanation. The fact the media makes mistakes like this is rather common, it is a bit awkward the truth movement picks up this mistake to prove their point on such a large scale.
It is suggested that the molten material falling down is as a result of a thermite reaction. It is also suggested that actually very little thermite is needed. The two do not add up.
Beside from that, it is good to see some actual experiments. Although the fact that thermite could have been used does not at all imply it was used.
Historically, pyrotechnic or explosive applications for traditional thermites have been limited due to their relatively slow energy release rates. But because nanothermites are created from reactant particles with proximities approaching the atomic scale, energy release rates are far improved.[2]
MICs or Super-thermites are generally developed for military use, propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics. Because of their highly increased reaction rate, nanosized thermitic materials are being researched by the U.S. military with the aim of developing new types of bombs that are several times more powerful than conventional explosives.[3] Nanoenergetic materials can store higher amounts of energy than conventional energetic materials and can be used in innovative ways to tailor the release of this energy. Thermobaric weapons are considered to be a promising application of nanoenergetic materials. Research into military applications of nano-sized materials began in the early 1990s
