Lots of fun with thermite
Surprised that they didn't get Jim Caey and Jeff Daniels to help
out with that one...
Not to worry... we can add the obligatory dumb-and-dumber humor,
here on Vo.
... and hey: Not coincidental that the Steven Jones vid. is in
with these, eh?

Many who do not know what thermite is, have mistakenly assumed
that it must be "like dynamite" and have wondered how any sane
building owner could 'rig' a building with it, far in advance
(even a decade in advance is not out of the question) and not
expect an accidental discharge. "Sane' being a key concept which
is often overruled by 'greed'.
The stuff is real hard to ignite, and burns very hot. Of course,
no one would knowingly work in any high-rise which has been
preloaded with it - which is why they (building owners and
architects) don't want this 'minor' detail known... As about half
of the secretaries in Lower Manhattan would go on strike and stop
'dictation' or whatever they do for their bosses, if they knew
their building was on "the list," as was WTC.
Hmmm...what was that detail about the WTC "rubble fire" going on
for weeks on end - and at "far higher" temperature than the
well-known burn temperature of jet fuel.
Ah shucks, that's just a wild and ridiculous conspiracy theory,
no?
