I like this one - looks like forth of july sparklers - thermite burning
You do know what thermite is, don't you? I would hope you didn't just read this from some site and decide it was thermite.

Thermite is not an explosive, it's an incendiary. In order for it to cut horizontally and be used in the way the conspiracy theorists have stated, it would had to have been applied to the actual steel beforehand. You also need a lot of it to get the desired result

Thus, for this to be true, thousands and thousands of pounds would have to have been placed directly on the steel beforehand, held in direct contact throughout, and remotely ignited. Considering the WTC was one of the most secure buildings in the world and housed the top financial companies, you would have to assume that they were in on it as well seeing as how they would have had to have gone in well before, exposed the steel, and placed the thermite in direct contact.

Not to be a jerk, but the thermite conspiracy is one of the most laughable ones out there. There are much better ones for you to choose from.
