Another logical question George.
If thermite charges are supposed to burn STRAIGHT through the metal being cut, why are there 45 degree "groves" through the metal plate that the column in this photo was made of? Look at the red lines in the red oval. The "grooves" are 45 degrees from the face of that plate.
How did a thermite charge create 45 degree "grooves"? They should be perpendicular to the face, not at a 45 degree angle.
And this George?
