	eMedicine - CBRNE - Incendiary Agents, Magnesium and Thermite : Article by Jonathan L Burstein, MD
		Thermite is a mixture of powdered or granular aluminum and powdered iron oxide.
		Mortality/Morbidity: Outcome of thermite or ignited magnesium burns is essentially the same as for identical thermal burns.
		Thermite burns, being predominantly due to molten iron, essentially are thermal burns with minimally reactive metal particles embedded in the tissue.

	Thermite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A thermite reaction is a type of aluminothermic reaction in which aluminium metal is oxidized by the oxide of another metal, most commonly iron oxide.
		Thermite was originally used for repair welding in-place thick steel sections such as locomotive axle-frames where the repair can take place without removing the part from its installed location.
		Thermite was invented in 1893 and patented in 1895 by German chemist Dr.

		Considered is the possible use of thermite to melt sections of the columns of the WTC towers inner cores, thus aiding in their collapse.

		It should be stated at the outset that thermite is not definitely proposed as the mechanism for this cloud expansion.

		Thermite by it self is a horrible mixture, but when converted into a bomb is probably the most dangerous thing you can make without a lot of effort (i think).
		Thermites are a group of pyrotechnics mixtures in which a reactive metal reduces oxygen from a metallic oxide.

	Grimmer: Possible Use Of Thermite in WTC - Physics911
		Thermite has been proposed as a chemical reactant that is capable of achieving the collapse of the central cores of the WTC towers.
		The thermite reaction produces great heat, capable of melting steel, and since it does not produce reactant gases, there would not be the high explosive signature of a massive shock wave.
		The possible use of thermite was analyzed only because other researchers have proposed it and because the properties of the reaction are relatively easy to obtain.

	Grimmer, Thermite and the WTC
		Of course complete melting was not necessary to cause total failure: a lesser amount of a thermite-like compound could have been used to raise the temperature of the steel to a point where the columns would fail before melting, although some melting must have occurred to account for the steel pools.
		Even if the thermite is in turn covered with an "insulating layer" that's going to absorb some of the heat, then probably be destroyed by it.
		#4, for thermite to be used as a coating on the columns (and to stay there when burning) requires that it be made "sticky", presumably.

		All Formulas are by Weight Thermites are a group of pyrotechnics mixtures in which a reactive metal reduces oxygen from a metallic oxide.
		Since the thermite is ignited from the center out, the heat builds up in the thermite and it burns faster than normal.
		This gives you a thermite charge in an iron pipe arranged so that when the thermite is electrically ignited, it will burn from one end to the other finally setting of the flash powder charge.

		Basically the idea is to throw a bunch of thermite globules around, and it burns for so long that it would certainly burn through any human, armored or not.

		Jones presents evidence that an “aluminothermic process” called “thermite” was used to weaken and sever the 47 massive core columns that held up the towers.
		Thermite was patented in Germany by Hans Goldschmidt in the late 1800s.

	deseretnews.com \| Physicist says heat substance felled WTC
		EPHRAIM — A Brigham Young University physicist said he now believes an incendiary substance called thermite, bolstered by sulfur, was used to generate exceptionally hot fires at the World Trade Center on 9/11, causing the structural steel to fail and the buildings to collapse.
		Last year, Jones presented various arguments for his theory that explosives or incendiary devices were planted in the Trade Towers, and in WTC 7, a smaller building in the Trade Center complex, and that those materials, not planes crashing into the buildings, caused the buildings to collapse.
		He said that after thermite turns steel or iron into a molten form, and the metal hardens, it is gray.
