Reply #165: Many explosives can withstand sustained heat without detonation [View All]

Tolerance and threshold can vary depending on the ingredients contained. It would be useless to make a complete list since there are many examples. In this case, the main concern should be what the physical evidence can corroborate.

Thanks to Steven E. Jones, we know the physical evidence collected from WTC molten debris contains sulfur, aluminum, and iron mixed together. This is highly characteristic of thermite type high explosives. Here are a few other references that may interest you.

4.) Regular thermite requires a high temperature of 2500 Kelvin (4000 °F) for ignition.

I believe the demolition hypothesis is plausible based on the physical evidence gathered. What are your thoughts and ideas on this issue?
