Is There Evidence That Explosive Charges
Were Used To Destroy The World Trade Center Towers?

Highly sensitive garbage?
It appears that FEMA was determined to keep a tight reign on who would be allowed to do a serious investigation of the cause of the collapse. Through the companies hired, they also made sure complete control was had over the hauled-away debris .....
Yet in an article about the access control and security systems used, the author reports: “Ninety-nine percent of the drivers were extremely driven to do their jobs. But there were big concerns, because the loads consisted of highly sensitive material. One driver, for example, took an extended lunch break of an hour and a half. There was nothing criminal about that, but he was dismissed.
”What is so "highly sensitive" about bent-up steel? You would naturally think nothing if the governments story about why the buildings collapsed is to be believed. But if explosive charges were placed in strategic locations throughout the buildings, then indeed, some of the cargo would be "highly sensitive material."

Explosive Evidence.
The FEMA report titled World Trade Center Building Performance Study, Appendix C
(Available at http://www.fema.gov/library/wtcstudy.shtm)
“Limited Metallurgical Examination”, shows evidence of explosives used, by way of photographs, microscopic, and chemical examination.
They do not draw this conclusion though. Instead, the authors write (in these selected sentences [The coloring of the text is added here. See below for reason]): “Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure.”...
“The thinning of the steel occurred by high temperature corrosion due to a combination of oxidation and sulfidation.”...
“The unusual thinning of the member is most likely due to an attack of the steel by grain boundary penetration of sulfur forming sulfides that contain both iron and copper.”...
“A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.”...
“The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified. The rate of corrosion is also unknown. It is possible that this is the result of long-term heating in the ground following the collapse of the buildings. It is also possible that the phenomenon started prior to collapse and accelerated the weakening of the steel structure. A detailed study into the mechanisms of this phenomenon is needed to determine what risk, if any, is presented to existing steel structures exposed to severe and long-burning fires.”
I would like to note that when faced with a mystery, the proper thing to do is to experiment. An experiment could be done to test if high explosives or a “long-burning fire” could reproduce the observed corrosive destruction of the steel.
A real investigation, as opposed to a whitewash investigation, would do this. Actually, if you think about it, a long-burning fire might be able to soften the steel but it wouldn’t be able to inject the chemical ingredients of explosives into the steel, as the examination shows.
