    what was the name of the explosive substance that was mixed in the paint of the...

    ...three towers? i can't remember the name of it. it was used in the paint to cause the explosion. it wasn't jet fuel because that doesn't burn hot enough to mealt the steal and concrete. but the substance that was mixed with the paint sure burnt hot enough to demolish an entire building. all three of them were always under construction when a tenant moved out the office space was re painted.
    a local school caught fire. the fire burned for several hours yet the building never burnt down, it was an old concrete building. seems strange that after several hours fire couldn't burn this building down yet supposedly jet fuel could demolish an entire building in seconds flat. remember the 3 towers were made of concrete not straw.
    they did an experiment and the jet fuel did not burn hot enough. not only that but they found ashes of this certain substance as well

    The steel didn't 'melt'. Rivets popped, weakening the structure. There is a call, in the background you can hear pop. pop, pop. and then nothing. It was my friend's son buddy. Calling him as this was the only call that went through. He was trapped, but heard the popping. He was excited because 'help was coming'. Experts say it was rivets giving way.
