Vorpal Cat posted:One advantage that thermite has over C4 for the purposes of a conspiracy theorist is that you can make thermite out of iron oxide and aluminum dust. How hard do you think it is to find evidence of iron oxide and aluminum dust in the world trade center ruble. Why bother looking for other posible explanations for you evidence when you already know the answer. This and the general 'testimony' of the Architects for Truth group are what convinced my aunt. She's outside the usual profile of a truther: mid-50s, center-left Democrat, hates Alex Jones/Icke types and yet, there she is. In her case, I think it's just disgust at Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld mixed with hearing half-truths that subsequently got justified and built upon by the conspiracy machine. Thermite was detected!! It's just iron oxide and aluminum. But it was SUPER-thermite!! The one name she tends to refer to in debates is Steven E. Jones. He's a physicist, and he's published papers! ... but he has no building forensics knowledge and doesn't publish in peer-reviewed journals. Of course, that's just because he's speaking truth to power and THEY don't want to get his message out. Of course, she also had a large brain tumor when she bought into the conspiracy during the first real burst of truther media output of ~2005.
