In 2006, Steven Jones, PhD, Professor Emeritus from BYU with a doctorate in physics, reported that he and and other scientists and researchers had found scientific evidence that the incendiary thermate was present in the samples from the WTC that they had studied. [1]  Thus, it became widely known that thermate was what was most likely used to cut the steel columns that supported the Twin Towers, and that this was what could have made their consequent plunge to earth in about ten seconds possible.  Now, thanks to the most recent work by Steven Jones and his fellow independent scientists, the public is learning what was most likely used to cause the Towers to explode in the manner in which they were obviously destroyed - unconventional demolition.

An article published on April 3, 2009 on the Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice website states in its first paragraph:
"A new study by independent scientists and researchers suggests the cause behind the catastrophic destruction of World Trade Center Towers on September 11th can be seen in the dust itself: active thermitic material, a highly engineered explosive." [2] 
 
Steven Jones and eight additional scientists and researchers have identified a high-tech form of thermite, called nano-thermite, in the dust samples collected after the events of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center in New York City.  "The scientists examined small red and gray chips in four dust samples independently collected in the days and weeks [following September 11, 2001]... Using advanced techniques of chemical and physical identification, the scientists were able to determine the chemical identities of the components of the chips."  The scientists published their findings in a peer-reviewed article in The Open Chemical Physics Journal [3].  They concluded that "the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material." [4]

This is nothing less than conclusive scientific evidence that in the catastrophe known as "9/11",  fires from the planes' jet fuel are NOT what brought down the Towers, as we have been led to believe.  Explosives were used for that purpose.  

It is time for an independent investigation into this crime, with the power to subpoena witnesses.
Please call, e-mail, or write residents of New York City and ask that they sign the petition for the NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative to place a referendum for an independent investigation on the NYC ballot for the November election. [5]
