it was I.E.A.D. not CD

[number6]

Improvised Explosive Aided Destruction rather Controlled Demolition

although Bldg 7 did look very much like a Controlled Demolition

[hack89]

1. So there should be plenty of traces left in the dust, right? nt

[number6]

2. traces of what ? explosives

I do not know of any large scale analsys of the WTC dust.

but that would have been something they should done right after ....

[greyl]

3. Don't tell me...

All the dust in New York City was immediately shipped to China.

[hack89]

4. One of the earliest and biggest failures of the truth movement

a little initiative, a shovel and a garbage sack and any truther "scientist" could had all the dust they needed for an independent test. The stuff was all over NYC - inches thick on rooftops for miles around.

Someone actually did do an independent analysis of the WTC dust - no sign of explosives:

6. yes, three years after the fact!

and "EXPERT REPORT OF Richard J. Lee, Ph.D.
SUBMITTED ON BEHALF OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG"
:shrug:

[hack89]

7. The question is why didn't any truther do the tests

there are real scientist and engineers in the truth movement, aren't there?

So what if it is 3 years old - it was laying undisturbed in an abandoned building.

9. thanx for the link

good info on all toxic subtances in the dust

however I didn't see anything addressing a search for explosives residue
they probably weren't looking for any

[hack89]

12. They weren't looking for anything in particular

they were building a profile of the dust - if there were explosive they would have seen it.

What is your feeling about the failure of the truth movement to test dust? Was it massive incompetence or did they actually test and hid the results because they were negative?

[Ohio Joe]

5. and... what exactly is that?

Please elaborate.

[MrMickeysMom]

8. Somehow....

I just don't see the dust settling here...

[number6]

10. make that ...

Improvised Explosive Aided Destruction rather than Controlled Demolition

by that I mean enough explosives for the Buildings to collapse vs

a Controlled Demo ...

[Bolo Boffin]

11. But there were no explosives detected in the collapses

And you are aware you have set aside all notion of excessive explosives throwing heavy debris around? You're going strictly for the minimalist approach here.

[defendandprotect]

13. Yes, explosives were found -- Thermite -- used by military . . .

think Blackwater . . .

[hack89]

14. No - there was no thermite found

no physical evidence at all.

[William Seger]

15. How about Imaginary Explosive Aided Delusion? (n/t)

[Realityhack]

16. Now why on earth would it be improvised.

Even if one were to believe in some explosive conspiracy why on earth would you introduce the word improvised?
