Slide #57 - Hot Spots on September 16th

USGS Aerial Photogram

In this slide, Gage shows us a thermal image of the surface of Ground Zero dated September 16th, 2001.

I don't dispute this evidence. The fires under Ground Zero are well documented. They were burning as long as twelve weeks after the collapses.

But this fact doesn't prove what Gage wants to use it to prove.

Thermite Burns Too Quickly

YouTube has several videos of thermite reactions. Here's one of the more familiar ones.

YouTube: Irreversible Thermite Reactions

Impressive stuff. But as you're watching, observe how quickly the "irreversible thermite reaction" takes to burn out.

Thermite reactions cannot last for weeks on end. Any proposed thermite reactions would have burned out within moments. Therefore, the hot spots under the debris piles had to be ordinary fires burning the shredded remains of three of the largest office buildings on earth.

Only a constant heat source can account for the amount of heat that continued to radiate from the pile for months. Thermite happens too quickly for this. Gage has unwittingly provided information that does nothing to confirm the presence of thermite.
