So I guess this LIE of the truthers is not a LIE after all.

No, it means that if the Government hands the Smithsonian a hunk of steel and says it is from WTC, then the Smithsonian will accept the Government's word for it. Now, that display you saw may actually be from WTC, but you can bet that if the Government gives a piece of the WTC to the Smithsonian for display, they will not hand over evidence to contradict the official story.
To say that one piece of steel on display at the Smithsonian is evidence of no thermite is like handing your insurance company a sparkplug to prove you are not at fault in an auto accident.

First, so that I can take your analysis seriously, could you show on a structural print where that piece of steel was located in the undamaged building.
Second, would you provide your resume' showing your experience in analyzing mechanisms of structural steel failure scenarios.
Third, could you provide your educational history showing degrees awarded in the field of structural engineering.
Fourth, could you provide an in-depth explanation of just what caused the building to fail when it is on record that the construction manager has stated the structure was designed to withstand multiple impacts of planes similar in size to the one alleged to have crashed into the building.
It's a simple matter for anyone interested to study the maps to see it is indeed possible given the level of competence the OS has attributed to the hijackers. Or they could have come in at a higher angle Of descent. These were talented fellas that flew these planes. And it was a big target right? One of the largest man made structures on the planet.

Yes, I have seen the maps of lower Manhattan and ground zero. For pilots with the remarkable skills shown by these they could have aimed and hit lower. Plenty of relatively free air space aproaching the towers, expecially from the hudson river side.
Must not have looked very hard
WTC was ringed by 50 story buildings, many less than 100 yards from WTC
One of the largest man made structures on the planet.

I always wondered about the magical passports of the "highjackers".

Magical? How so? Because they survived? Does that mean that every object that survived is magical to you? Every scrap of paper, every item of clothing - is it all magical? Or do you just not understand how things work and therefore everything - electricity, running water, gravity - all seems magical to you?

Originally posted by headorheartA plane explodes into a building that then collapses and a piece of paper that was involved in the initial explosion survives barley harmed? I wouldn't say magical, I would say extremely convenient.
So explain to me how it is possible that that can happen.
Yes yes I know there was paper all over the place but that is completely different.

Hear, read what this guy had to say:

You see, when paper survives that deflates all the interesting, spooky conspiracy "theories" it is considered magical, but if it does not detract from your narrative then it is an ordinary occurence.

That guy was me , the paper on the ground was from the offices
Now explain the passport
There's little to no way of varifying it was from ground zero. and even if it was of course some of the metal would get bent a bit even if something else caused it because it was such a maelstrom of materials colliding.

Explain what? The paper from the offices survived, you admit that, and the passport survived. Somethings "survived", somethings did not. Just like in any chaotic, catastrophic event. Also, you assume the passport was on his person - you're not allowed to do that.
