1) The amount of thermite needed to bring down that building would be literally tons. How would that go unnoticed?
2) Thermite does not burn horizontally.
3) None of the steel shows signs of thermite damage. Thermite does not burn evenly. It makes nasty holes with molten metal drips.
4) There is zero evidence of thermite.
Reposting for Event8. Here is one objection.
1. one might find tons here:
from the research paper posted
1. How Much of the Energetic Red Material Survived
During the WTC Destruction?
In the sample provided by collector J. MacKinlay the
fraction of red/gray chips was roughly estimated. Fifteen
small chips having a total mass of 1.74 mg were extracted
from a 1.6 g sample of dust from which readily identifiable
glass and concrete fragments had been removed by
hand. Thus the fraction of red/gray chips was approximately
0.1% by weight in the separated dust Another sampling
showed 69 small red/gray chips in a 4.9 g sample of separated
dust. Further samples are being analyzed to refine this
estimate. The fall of the WTC Towers produced enormous
clouds of dust whose total mass is difficult to ascertain; but
clearly the total mass of red/gray chips in the WTC dust
must be substantial given the fraction observed in these samplings.

there were also multiple layered chips found. one might be able to bend and manipulte this stuff. premade sheets with layers and layers deep that could be wraped around steel...just one scenario.
3. it would be interesting to know what caused this only after alittle over 7 days of being in the wtc 7 pile. Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl got there sept 19. he saw this when he arrived outside his hotel. now one has to assume this piece also came from the top of the pile since it was loaded just after 7 days. avaris flew over the wtc sites and did see some hot spots. one hot spot pretty much where column 79 (nist theory about wtc 7 revolves around column 79) was.
"One piece Dr. Astaneh-Asl saw was a charred horizontal I-beam from 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story skyscraper that collapsed from fire eight hours after the attacks. The beam, so named because its cross-section looks like a capital I, had clearly endured searing temperatures. Parts of the flat top of the I,
once five-eighths of an inch thick, had vaporized.
Less clear was whether the beam had been charred after the collapse, as it lay in the pile of burning rubble, or whether it had been engulfed in the fire that led to the building's collapse, which would provide a more telling clue.
The answer lay in the beam's twisted shape. As weight pushed down, the center portion had buckled outward.
''This tells me it buckled while it was attached to the column,'' not as it fell, Dr. Astaneh-Asl said, adding, ''It had burned first, then buckled.''
4. the paper proves there was thermite at the wtc.
