certainly. a thermite reaction produces molten iron and can reach temperatures hot enough to evaporate steel. are you denying these facts?
What I fail to see, and people have failed to answer to me is whether or not it can explain the molten steel
weeks later. Thermite is a fast reaction. Just because by your logic thermite can 'explain' the presence of molten steel, it
does not explain how the thermite not only survived the collapses without being damaged beyond ability to function, survived the collapses without being destroyed period, how such incendiaries would be able to sustain a 'steel cutting' reaction over an extended period of 10 or more weeks.
Do you have any idea how much thermite would be required to sustain a reaction for 10 weeks? The inability or reluctance of people to explain this detail makes detracts from the credibility of such claims.
explosives and thermite reactions can produce temperatures hot enough to melt and evaporate steel.
--Once again I address the issue, is a thermite reaction capable of lasting for ten weeks and
sustain metal in a molten state
-- How much of it is required to sustain the reaction for that long?
-- Did rogue thermite charges somehow survive the building collapses?
That's pretty much speculation... and fails to answer to the problems with assuming molten steel found 10 weeks later being a result of thermite.
planes slamming into buildings and the resulting office fires cannot.
These examples show what a 'normal' fire is capable of doing to steel:

I'm not bringing this up specifically to 'explain' molten steel, but to point out that similar conditions were shaping up in the twin towers and WTC 7. That is how vulnerable steel is to 'fire'.
Steel loses its rigidity under thermal stress, and undergoes 'plastic' behavior meaning it becomes distorted under its own weight and any loads it is sustaining. All three buildings suffered structural damage and ignited. In other words they were all already compromised at the moment the fires began, I imagine that all the structural damage preceding ignition only expedited the weakening process by redistributing building loads to remaining intact columns, some of which, while not severed, were seriously compromised by damage.
pools of molten metal have NEVER been discovered below a natural collapse of a building from fire.
Can you point out a controlled demolition which resulted in pools of molten steel? You seem to keep a distinction between 'natural collapse' and 'controlled collapse'.
-- To this point I fail to see how such distinctions are comparible:
A collapse happens because of:
(A) Poor design, or neglect of the building designers or engineers to account for variable in a building's construction. (Covering failures to account for building codes, fire resistance, temperature changes in a particular climate, engineering calculation flaws, or otherwise)
(B) A Structural breach that compromises the structural integrity of a building's supports (This falls under conditions from impact damages or fire, and other processes
(C) Controlled demolition where the building is intentionally being brought down
There's not really any definition for 'natural', as buildings are man-made to begin with and their integrity is contingent upon those who design it.
Back to the point:
-- By this statement you claim that there is no precedent for 'natural collapses' that have resulted in 'molten metal', does this imply that there have been 'controlled demolitions' which have resulted in molten metal weeks following? Do you have any examples?
no steel frame building in history has ever collapsed from fire.
Nothing that
TOTALLY collapsed maybe. We are talking about collapses in general, partial or complete. The statement that
NO steel structure has
EVER collapsed is inaccurate.
so when we discover molten pools beneath buildings that never before collapsed from fire, rational people start to suspect that maybe something else was happening in those buidlings that caused them to globally collapse in near free fall speed.
-- First you must establish if there was any precedence for the molten steel to see what processes are capable of generating it. Can it be caused by natural chemical reactions, or can it be caused by thermite or other steel melting solutions.
-- Next you must establish whether unnatural causes of molten steel such as thermite can sustain a reaction for the length of time required to sustain steel in a molten state.
-- You must establish whether natural causes of the byproduct can sustain themselves long enough to generate steel in a molten state, and whether the condition within the debris pile was favorable for such a natural process to take shape and sustain itself
for the simple reason that the official story CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS PHENOMENA
Hmmm, I'll await the results of your search for precedents to explain away how the thermite lasted that long.
Already provided a 'plausible' explanation, which is capable of such
follow this line of reasoning.
1. thermite reactions can cut through steel like butter
--Established
2. controlled demolitions essentially remove the vertical resistence of a building by cutting through the supporting columns
-- Impact and fire damage do the same...
3. thermite reactions produce molten iron
-- For several weeks?
4. thermite reactions produce temperatures hot enough to evaporate steel
-- Established
-- If there is an absence of evidence to support thermite being present however, this can be explained away by the oxidation process which breaks up the material composition of the metal
5. molten iron and evaporated steel etc where found at wtc 1 2 and 7
-- Have you completely eliminated the oxidation process as being a possibility?
