9/11: The pyrotechnic and explosive link

● An article published in a Journal of Chemical Physics, signed by no less than nine experts, analyzing the results of studies on particles taken from the 9/11 event at the World Trade Center in New York City in 2001 makes the most shocking conclusion: "highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material" was discovered.
● [The] document published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal 2009, volume2, title "Active Thermal Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe", authored by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley and Bradley R. Larsen, makes for interesting reading.
● In the introduction, the team states that it was intrigued by the fact that "the collapses of the three tallest WTC buildings were remarkable for their completeness, their near free-fall speed, their striking radial symmetry..." After a substantial study was made (and the work has been copied and pasted at several sites around the Internet so that it will not be hastily taken down and buried), the following conclusions are made:
● Elemental iron was not found in pre-strike samples, but was present in the post-strike samples of materials, leading the scientists to conclude that the post-ignition materials contain the ingredients of thermite; the small size of iron oxide particles "qualifies the material to be characterized as nano-thermite or super-thermite" and is "very likely a form of super-thermite" due to the temperatures at which the materials react; the conclusion is that a thermite reaction took place;, then "We note that it is likely also an energetic material, in that the total energy release sometimes observed in DSC tests exceed the theoretical maximum energy of the classic thermite reaction".
● And now, the final statement: "Based on these observations, we conclude 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".
● Could we expect the United States of America to now launch a full, open and comprehensive investigation into what happened? However well-meaning Washington declares it is, the hearts and minds of humankind need acts and not words. The acts, since the year 2000, have written a horrific epitaph for Washington and a deep political grave for its leaders. What was that about "change"?
