“all you need is rust and aluminum in the right propportion to make thermite”
I should have said, “nano-thermite” – probably not something any of us can bake up at home
Explosives Found in World Trade Center Dust
Scientists Discover Both Residues And Unignited Fragments Of Nano-Engineered Thermitic Pyrotechnics In Debris From the Twin Towers http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/thermite/explosive_residues.html
“Because the reactants of thermite must be milled very finely to attain explosive reaction rates, such thermites are often referred to as nano-thermites. Such nano- or “super-thermites” typically have particle diameters on the order of a few hundred nanometers. The reaction rate in turn determines the destructive character of the material. Whereas a cup of conventional thermite will melt a hole clear through a car’s engine block, the same quantity of nano-thermite will blow the car apart. ”
“Even before WTC dust was subjected to the kind of microscopic scrutiny described in Active Thermitic Material Discovered, several features of the dust analysis published by the USGS pointed to the use of aluminothermics. For example, the USGS data shows high levels of barium — a fact that is difficult to explain, barring pyrotechnics. The high levels of iron and aluminum in the dust — each ranging from 1.3 to 4.1 percent of the dust samples by weight — also appears anomalous, although prosaic sources of the metals can be imagined. ”
“The inescapable fact is that these spheroidal droplets in the WTC dust look exactly like the products of the combustion of nano-thermite explosives, and their discovery in consistently substantial concentrations in diverse samples of dust from the day of the attack weighs heavily against theories that they were generated by something other than the Twin Towers’ destruction. Elemental analysis of these droplets described below would show that they are dead ringers for known aluminothermic residues. ”
“A paper published a year earlier than Active Thermitic Material Discovered showed that metal-rich spheroids in WTC dust had iron-to-oxygen ratios indicating abundant elemental iron, such as found in thermite residues. It also pointed out several other features of WTC remains that indicated exposure to temperatures far above what could be produced by fires burning jet fuel and office contents, including: iron-rich and silicate spherules, volatilized lead, a molybdenum spherule, and materials with a “Swiss-cheese appearance”. 16 Molybdenum has a very high melting point of 2617ºC. ”

World Trade Center destruction interview with Dr. Harrit
“This stuff has only been prepared under military contracts in the USA and probably in bigger allied countries. This is secret military research. … It was not prepared in a cave in Afghanistan.”
“Nano-thermite is the explosives of the future. Smaller, cheaper and nastier”
