When Steven Jones said he found, "uncommon chemical elements" in the WTC...?

Question

Why did not he first check to see if there was any natural (non thermate) reason for them being there? He did find the prescence of Iron, Sulphur, Potassium, Manganese, Fluorine, and Potassium. Many of these are ingredients of thermate, but he did not check for any natural causes of these elements.

For example, the third most common ingredient used in the world trade center is Gypsum Based Drywall which is 19% sulphur.

Iron is used in Paint and electronic devices

Potassium is used in Concrete.

Manganese was used in the structural steel, paint, batteries and any ceramics.

Fluorine is used in freon. 200,000 gallons of freon cooled the WTC. It had the largest ac unit in the country.

Titanium is used in paper and paint. Both were in abundance at the WTC, and made up 2% of the 767's that hit the WTC. WTC 7 was also clad in polished steel and titanium. For the truthers to claim these were uncommon at the WTC, and the only explanation for them at the WTC is through the use of thermate is a joke.

Answer 1

Because you apparently expect him to work like a serious scientist following the evidence wherever it leads him. Well he's not, he's an unstable attention seeker whose academic credentials are more than shady and who's credibility is indeed zero at this point. That goes for virtually all other "truth" movement scientists as well.

Conspiracy theorists including the so called scientists start with the conclusion, twist any finding they can into supporting that view and ignore or even refuse to investigate all evidence that doesn't support their theory. It's called pseudo science

Answer 2

Stephen Jones lost all credibility when he maintained that a picture of the first WTC building clearly showed molten steel on the building's outer surface when it was later proved conclusively to be the aluminum cladding installed by Alcoa during the building's initial construction - a fact that Mr. Jones apparently was unaware of when he made the allegation.

Your observation that Mr. Jone's papers have never appeared in any type of scientific venue pretty much says it all.

Answer 3

Oh God Jesus are you people still around?
