Sorry if I reiterate some points before but new to the forum.
I actually do have some experience with using thermite. In fact did a thermite reaction last week for my class.
From the selected bits of the thread I read it seems some people think thermite burns like a fuel. Keep adding bits of steel and the reaction keeps going. This is just foolish.
The thing with a thermite reaction is once is starts it reacts violently and quickly. Once all the reactants are used up Iron Oxide and Aluminium then it stops. The intense heat is solely down to the fact the energy release is so quick. However thermite produces no shock wave like traditional explosives. Commercial demolition use the shockwave to cut steel as a force effect, not a chemical reaction or melting process.
For this reason I see no reason why thermite would be the choice of demolition. Due to the nature of its burn heat is extremely localised (the heat doesn't have time to conduct along the beam).
Thermite also is extremely difficult to set off. You generally need a magnesium fuse to set it off, blast caps don't really do it. If you wanted to bring the building down then traditional explosives would be the way to do, like it is always done in commercial demos.
Melting steel would also be expected. Concrete is an excellent insulator, any burning materials would only need a constant flow of oxygen.
Concrete and rebar buildings do not collapse to form a homogenus mass, by their very nature they end up being made of fairly large pieces that do not stack but form a tangled mass of voids.
I was unlucky enough to be in the 2007 Peru earthquake (8.0) and have seen the results of such collapse. Generally building built from brick with no concrete and rebar collapse with little void, and hence led to many deaths in Pisco and Ica. The concrete and rebar structures allowed spaces for people to survive.
Air flow from below, plentiful fuel and insulated covering is pretty much a blast furnace. This is how steel is mad in the first place. I get the impression that some people believe that you have a magic fuel which you make a pile of, put a bucket of iron and carbon on it, light it and the iron melts. This is simply facetious and erroneous.
I would actually be extremely surprised if there wasn't any melted metals of all types. I would even venture an opinion that lack of melted metal would be more likely with conventional explosive which by their nature do not produce a great big hollywood fireball.
So the presence of melted steel means........ a great big building was hit by a jet plane and the fire got very hot. Sorry if it doesn't sound very conspiratorial.
Oh one thing that always did bother me, which I hope somebody could help because this might unearth the truth.... From the video footage the towers collapse from around the impact site. How did the NWO and the giant lizards manage to plant the magical mini thermite of doom at the correct place for the planes to hit?
I would have assumed the place to bring a 100 story building down would be a the bottom. Due to the floors below it would seem to be the best place to set the explosives simply from a secrecy point of view as well as a physics standpoint, but I admit I am not an expert on convertly bring down skyscrapers.
