How much explosives? The question should be, what explosives were used? Make a circle with you thumb and fore-finger. That circle you just made filled with Thermite (a Simple mixture of Aluminum filings and iron oxide or RUST) will, when place on the hood of your car, quite happily burn it's way all the way through your engine and leave a burning pile of slag where the front end of your car used to be.

You need only tiny amounts of thermite combined with a primer or igniter (I'm assuming it was an explosive primer due to the pulverisation of the concrete sub structure) to burn very rapidly through even the heaviest of steel support columns.

This is about the only plausible explanation there being "molten hotspots" of steel within the rubble literally months after the event.

As for all these wankers stating that the squibs are a result of the physically impossible "pancake" effect caused by a fire not even half the required temperature to start weakening the fire-retarded steel central columns: They're the 65% of under-educated America sprouting hearsay like mass media parrots. If the WTC building were in the 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 or less chance that all three buildings collapse into themselves due to fire making them the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd buildings(with steel columns) in the history of mankind to collapse in such a fashion.

I feel sorry for the average "educated" American stuck in a Country full of under-achieving sheep, whom all believe in their hearts that they're a "Patriot".

At the same time I can see commonwealth governments following the destruction of the American People's civil liberties with interest. I mean if the US government lead by George Bush can do it then why can't the UK? or Canada? or Australia?

Why are there no massed peaceful demonstrations or riots or criminal trials? Because the American public seems to have traded Patriotism for oil.
