New April 2009 Shocking Chemistry Report

Okay, the affiliation with a major research university and a peer reviewed journal has intrigued me, I will admit.
What is Bentham Open?
Has anyone provided any alternate, credible explanation for the existing of thermitic residue on all four samples or claimed this is a hoax?
If not, why isn't or hasn't this been published in the mainstream media?

Abstract
We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

Bentham Open is a forum used to put scientific information out to peers for review.
The main stream media will not be able to ignore THIS STORY much longer (they know very well about this info now.....BTW, so far drudgereport.com is currently SITTING on this news....they had it early). I also know several members of congress have read the reports and there may be a move soon to reopen a new investigation for this matter.
Also to note, the WTC buildings had interesting contracts leading up to 9/11 for the application of SPRAY ON fireproofing media to the steel structures........must have been one heck of a special mix! :eek:
LOLZ.....
It isn't read by anyone.
Impact readings - that gauge what an effect that this "journal" has on the target audience - indicate that no one knows about it.
It's a vanity journal. You pay to publish whatever crap you want. Like this garbage.
It's such garbage, that the editor QUIT when she found out about it. What's that say about Bentham if the editor doesn't know what's being published?
