Faruk Ucrut: National Geographic hitpiece will prove 9/11 fire collapse theory to be impossible.

Next Monday, a "documentary" will air on National Geographic entitled "9/11: Science and Conspiracy". Just from the name you can tell its going to be a hitpiece and its page on the National Geographic website reads like the Popular Mechanics article. So expect ad-hominem attacks, token family members / survivors and pseudoscience a plenty as the establishment drops another debunking airstrike on the truth movement.

Here's some of the "science" on their website:

Conspiracy: Thermite, which is less traceable, was used in the controlled demolition that brought down the towers.
Science: Some truthers claim dust that some New Yorkers found after the attack shares the components of thermite. Scientists assert that even if this dust did contain thermite, it would be impossible to determine whether the thermite came from a controlled demolition or simply from the melting of the airplanes. EMRTC designed an experiment to see if thermite was a plausible option in the collapse of the towers. The thermite in the test was not even able to melt a column much smaller than those in the World Trade Center.

So thermite, which burns at 4500 degrees, cannot demolish a building. But jet fuel and office material, which burn at 1400 degrees, can! That's a bit like saying a tank can't knock down a wall but a little old lady in a motorized wheelchair can! And are they seriously going with the natural thermite reaction theory that Frank Greening suggested? The theory that aluminum from the planes turned to powder and intimately mixed itself with the rust on the steel in the correct ratio to form thermite. And then out of the god knows how many cubic meters of dust produced, the small samples Steven Jones obtained just happened to contain some of this "intelligent malevolent thermite", as Gordon Ross put it?

The only thing their thermite experiment will prove is that fire can't demolish a building.
