Reactive Revolution: Meet the Pulverizers (How man-portable explosives can destroy concrete)
"When you carry out demolitions under combat conditions, the type of drilling carried out by miners is not much of an option –- even the most modern equipment is heavy and cumbersome, and drilling is still a slow process. So military demolitions rely on using large explosive charges.

That is, until the development of the Penetrating Augmented Munition, or PAM, which uses a shaped charge to drill the initial hole, then a second charge fires explosives into the hole:" ...

"ARDEC, the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny, New Jersey, has been working on this concept for some years.

The first development was Barnie, which is described as a "unitary demolition warhead."Instead of PAM's multiple charges, it simply has a single shaped charge with a reactive liner. Barnie warheads were tested with several different reactive mixtures, and showed that they performed far better than normal liners. The material could be selected to produce either cratering (suitable for tasks such as destroying roads or runways) or deep damage (for demolitions)."

1. Excellent!
Now research what these armaments sound like when exploding and point out any similar explosions on the recordings of the three buildings falling.

Also, the presentation of any evidence that these armaments were used on 9/11, like scrap metal, unexploded armaments, etc., would be most appreciated as well.

2. don't jump the gun the post didn't allude to 911
however, researching military weapons research may yield some insight for those trying to confirm the government's story
