However, I would be interested in hearing why you think that those pictures are in any way evidence of thermite being used.
I never claimed to know exactly what cut it during the collapse, thermite or LCS, or even cut by hand, but if you really want an explanation.. here we go...
As you can clearly see, right below the cut, is the color grey. The original color of this beam is orange because of rust. The only explanation for this color distortion would be that some type of DIRECTED heat, or torch, or explosive device was applied to it, and it must be recent or else it would have rusted.. In the event of a professionally controlled demolition, in order to save money on explosives, they cut small sections out of beams and place the explosives in the remaining section so that the explosives dont have to cut the entire beam. This is a plausible explanation.

How exactly are broken columns suspicious in the remains of a building that just collapsed?
Its suspicious because it has evidence of being directly burned or cut, by looking at the discoloration. Also, its pretty well known that steel would rather bend then snap. Obviously, when looking past the camera lens illusion, this beam looks pretty straight.

I'm sure you have some evidence to back this up right?
Photo evidence. Compare this knowingly cut beam...
With this beam...
See the discoloration similarities?

You just posted a larger picture which showed much better detail, you then edited your post and removed it, and now you tell us we you "can not see them as well." are you playing games?
Quite bizzare.

You all should be focused on THESE cut beams.. from WTC 7.
--NOTE-- these were taken BEFORE CLEANUP.

Once again:
How do you know this was taken before cleanup?
Where did the original picture come from? What site? Who took it? Etc etc etc.
It seems hard for me to believe that photographers were wandering around the site, but cleanup/rescue crews weren't.

These pictures were taken 9/15/01, which is only 4 days after the attacks. Before the cleanup started. To put it in perspective, the clean up of WTC 7 didn't finish untill April of 2002.

But I can tell you for 100% fact that that is a cutting torch cut.

oddly enough, theres one part of that picture no one seems to notice that does lend itself to legitimizing the whole cutting torch issue.
anyone else notice there just "happens" to be a ladder laying on top of the rubble?

Dude, I KNOW ITS A CUT. Are you aware of how they prepare a building for demolition? I'm sure you are, I have told you. They cut small sections of structural steel with a "cutting torch" and put explosives on the remaining section of the steel that wasn't cut. This is so they can use less explosives.
