possible nanothermite or cutter charge in rubble pile?

a short clip I lifted from the documentary WTC: The First 24 Hours (at around the 17:10 mark) showing what appears to be a small but highly energetic explosion coming from (or from under) a burning car in the rubble pile on the night of 9/11. I can't imagine what part of a car would create such a small and bright explosion...

I think you should forward this

to Steven Jones and/or Kevin Ryan, as supporting video evidence, because it sure looks like it to me. It's so bright white in contrast to the cozy yellow-orange of the car-beque.

aw smack--u could see it before?

It didn't show up in my browser so I thought something was wrong and ended up re-embedding... Oh well, I did forward to Dr. Jones...

Yeah... but you know

it loops uncontrollably. You know that, right?

gretavo's picture

well, it does now...

Did you see it as a quick time video? That was my first attempt that seemed not to work... I'm trying to figure out how to embed videos here without needing to go through the fascist youtube people...

No, just this way

n/t

ok, well i'll figure it out...

I know what it has to do with just not sure what to do about it...

It must be the lithium

It must be the lithium battery exploding in a hybrid car, nothing to see here, move along.

(hehe, just pretending to be a CD skeptic)

Could it possibly be

Could it possibly be unexploded explosives or thermite material that fell onto and into the vehicle which ignited later that day? The explosion seems too small to be planned since it did not seem to be strong enough to affect anything beyond the vehicle itself.

yeah, my suspicion is that it didn't go off when it should have

and ended up in or under that car after the "collapse", and was caused to explode due to its proximity to the visible fire... pure speculation, but it does emit a lot of light and no flame...
