As users of Thermite know, it is very difficult to get Thermite to ignite. Although it is possible to ignite it with a propane torch or Magnesium ribbon, it does not always work, and can leave you frustrated. Thermite can even be heated until it's red hot and still not ignite.

If you think you can just throw chemicals together randomly and make a reactive mixture then you are the one who is clueless.
For a start off how was it ignited? Office fires do not get hot enough to ignite thermite, even correctly mixed thermite.

This was debunked years ago btw.

As I read this reply, I recalled an event from my days in chemistry. Of course back then we had fewer chemicals . ha ha ha
A friend baggered me for several days for the formula of an explosive compound. He knew I had learned it because I was into that sort of thing. At last I told him the ingredents he needed but warned him it had to be processed in a certain way in order to function properly.
Well, you guessed it. He got everything together and dumped it all into one large flask.
Suddenly there was a mushroom cloud of greenish-yellow smoke going up to the ceiling that left a stain for the next two years. The heat was intense enough to make the top few inches of the flask curl out and down. There was no explosion, just a load "swoosh" and other students screaming and running.
I was about 15 feet away and felt the rush of heat on my back.
He got five days suspension, to let his hair and eyebrows grow back. I sat down and laughed until I cried.
The moral of the story is this:
Having the right stuff in the right amounts can make a lot of different things. But there is almost always a "process" for mixing and handling this stuff inorder to get what you want. If you just throw everything into a big bowl, you may not get what you want and may be lucky to survive

Here are NIST's two models of WTC 7's collapse. It was not a pancake collapse in any manner. The first simulation shown is what their physics engine produced when considering NO damage to the building. The second simulation, starting at approximately 47 seconds is the simulation that factors in the damage caused by WTC 1. You'll notice that the building buckles where the corner damage is.
I can't really simplify this any further.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like the side-by-side comparison video myself.
That was the second in this set. It compared the NIST "fantasy" to reality. It is easy to see the difference.
The more replies I get to this thread the more it appears we have been right all along.
Even those who are trying to argue a different point, are proving us right.

Do you not see anything wrong with this photo? Seriously?
From which vantage point was it taken from?
How can objects in the foreground and in the background both be in focus and
objects in the middle ground out of focus?
Does the image of building 7 look remotely genuine to you?
Doesn't it look pasted in to you?
This is a faked photograph, just like the rest!

I for one have not seen this view until today.
I will also admit that I should have looked closer when I did see it.
All the other views are looking over another building . This must have been from the rear or some thing.
I am not saying it is a fake, just saying it is new to me.

Here is a video of Richard Gage contradicting himself. And now the big question is this...is there such a thing as silent explosions?
Explosion
The act of exploding; detonation; a chemical action which causes the sudden formation of a great volume of expanded gas; as, the explosion of gunpowder, of fire damp,etc.
A bursting with violence and loud noise, because of internal pressure; as, the explosion of a gun, a bomb, a steam boiler, etc.
A violent outburst of feeling, manifested by excited language, action, etc.; as, an explosion of wrath.
Richard Gage asserts that there were silent explosions.
