I fugure the goons have plenty of stuff that is still unused.<br><br>Maybe a DU hot shot ain't so far out.<br><br><br>"DU MISSILES AT THE WTC? <br><br>With no evidence of a Boeing 757 hitting the Pentagon available to the public, some 9/11 researchers claim a DU tipped missile, launched by a weaponized UAV, like the Global Hawk, struck the Pentagon. The Global Hawk followed the missile into the building and was destroyed leaving behind only its most durable parts, such as the engine parts and parts of its landing gear. <br><br>Because DU is extremely dense, a wide variety of missiles in the U.S. arsenal are tipped with DU rods to penetrate the armored steel of military vehicles and buildings. Because uranium is a spontaneous pyrophoric material, it inflames when it reaches its target and generates such intense heat that it explodes. This is what causes the bright flash that is seen when a DU missile impacts upon its target. <br><br>The white flash seen in videos of the two planes striking the twin towers is exactly the kind of flash that occurs when a missile with a DU penetrator strikes. If DU penetrators caused the flashes seen on videos of the planes smashing into the towers, where did the uranium rods go? <br><br>Working with Hufschmid, AFP has located several photos that show a mysterious burning object passing through the initial explosion in the South Tower. This object, which displays the characteristics of a burning DU penetrator, can be seen on page 39 of Painful Questions. <br><br>The photo of the fireball that occurred immediately after the crash of the plane into the South Tower shows two fast moving objects that passed through the tower and are far ahead of the inferno. One appears as a black dot leaving a trail of white smoke; the second appears to be a dark rod burning with a white flame followed by a trail of black smoke. <br><br>The second object displays the characteristics of a burning DU penetrator. AFP sent enlarged photos of the object to Marion Fulk, a retired chemical physicist from the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and asked him if this object could be DU. <br><br>“Yes, it is possible,” Fulk said. Asked about the dark smoke trailing behind the nearly pure white flame, Fulk said, “It could be uranium oxide.” <br><br>“Let’s assume it is uranium,” Fulk added. “It’s burning near the surface and it’s pretty hot.” It is a small object with great mass and has huge momentum behind it, Fulk said. “It’s way out ahead of the explosion and nothing stopped it.” <br><br>If the object is a DU penetrator, that would explain its intense heat, radiation expert Leuren Moret told AFP. The DU would have already been burning before it hit the tower. The burning uranium would have acted to ignite the fuel in the aircraft causing the tremendous explosions seen in both towers. As it passed through the building some of the penetrator’s kinetic energy would have been converted to heat energy. <br><br>The difference between the orange colors of the flames coming from the explosion in the tower and the white flame of the small dense object are indicative of “a huge temperature difference,” Moret said. The white flame coming off of the uranium suggests it is burning at a very high temperature although it is not possible to determine the exact temperature from the photograph, according to Fulk and Moret.
