It's funny, I've been attacked by Truthers for my spelling and grammar twice today. A sign of desperation I suppose.

Newsflash mon CaptianNSO! The ATS reply window has an embedded spell check feature. See those little squiggly red lines under misspelled words? Well, now you know what they are. I have no doubt you will express your appreciation.
Newsflash! No it doesn't. That's something in your browser.

Excuse me...just for one second....i would say on one thing could you refrain from the term jews....this is not a jewish thang as gets explained over and over.
It is a Zionist thang....and Zionists are of all ilk.
JEWS are a people......
ZIONISTS are a political movement created by one Theodore Herzl 1860-1904
i know it seems nitpicky....but it is a huge difference.......

Riiiight which is why NO Truthers will answer basic questions and why so many of their theories are contradictory and why most of them post debunked "facts".
Thermite reactions have many uses. Thermite is not an explosive; instead it operates by exposing a very small area of metal to extremely high temperatures. Intense heat focused on a small spot can be used to cut through metal or weld metal components together both by melting metal from the components, and by injecting molten metal from the thermite reaction itself.... Thermite can be used for quickly cutting or welding steel such as rail tracks, without requiring complex or heavy equipment. However, defects such as slag inclusions and voids (holes) are often present in such welded junctions and great care is needed to operate the process successfully..

FALSE. The first use of the tube structure was the 43-story DeWitt-Chestnut Apartment Building in Chicago, Illinois which was completed in 1963:

The first building to apply the tube-frame construction was the DeWitt-Chestnut apartment building which Khan designed and which was completed in Chicago by 1963. This laid the foundations for the tube structural design of many later skyscrapers, including the John Hancock Center and Willis Tower, and the construction of the World Trade Center, Petronas Towers, Jin Mao Building, and most other supertall skyscrapers since the 1960s.
You read that right. Most supertall skyscrapers since the 1960s have a similar tube frame design as the WTC towers.
Actually, the collapses looked like demolitions, sounded like demolitions, and collapsed at a speed consistent with controlled demolitions.
FALSE. There are many first responders who testified to hearing timed explosions. You can read about them in the First Responder Oral Histories. There are also many survivors and by-standers that have publicly stated that they also heard the timed explosions as the towers were collapsing.
You can hear some of these many witnesses in my video here:

Ooohhh, guess what? That only works for concrete structures which is exactly what's in the videos. Yes, concrete structures will easily crumble and crush themselves. Steel structures do not. Therefore, your comparison is moot and not comparable at all in the least.

There were plenty of visible and audible explosions. First responders testified to the explosions as reported in the First Responder Oral Histories. They also testified to low-level flashes coming from the lower floors in both towers as the towers were collapsing above.
You can also hear the pre-collapse and during-collapse explosions going off in this video here:
Part 1: video.google.com...
Part 2: video.google.com...
Part 3: video.google.com...
The explosions heard in the above video are corroborated by first responders, so no need to try to explain them away.
That's the audio explosions aspect of your claim. Now off to the visible aspect of explosions:

That's the WTC on the right, some apartment towers on the left. You can see the explosive ejections coming out of all of the buildings. Those ejections are the result of high-powered explosives being detonated.

Well you know, the way the WTC floors were set up, its no wonder they progressivly collapsed the way they did. And yes, guess what, that pesky steel only tube in tube design is what helped. What held up each floor? Steel seats upon which floor truss ends sat on. The same design from top to bottom, save for the technical and mechanical floors. So, yes, Verange would have worked here.
The major finding of the NIST report is that the design and construction materials of the World Trade Center did not contribute to the disaster; they performed exceptionally well. Despite this fact, the report offers several recommendations that are not supported by the investigation, nor are they backed by substantive research. In fact, the premises of some of the statements appear to be in error.
