Catalyzing what? Seriously, read one of the zillion pages on thermite, call a chemist, please dear God learn what thermite is.

It's not an explosive, it's an incendiary that would need to be placed on the exposed steel and ignited with a remote device. This is fact, and there isn't a human being alive who knows anything about thermite who disagrees with that. Even your conspiracy theorists know that, which is why they have said that thermite was planeted beforehand. You are the only one I've ever seen say it was on the plane. Does that tell you something?

This still doesn't account for the mass amounts of thermite that would be needed and on the exposed steel to do the job. You would need thousands and thousands of pounds of thermite placed directly on the steel columns to get that reaction. How did they possibly manage to do that as well as setup remote detonators while people worked for months leading up to the attack?

The fact is that the steel was sold all over. Some of it was also kept. They have a giant hangar that has tons of parts from the building in it, including some that were deemed as memorable (the last piece removed that everyone signed, original front columns, etc). They just had it on TV.

Not to mention that it wasn't really the US that sold it all. A bunch of NYC and New Jersey scrap yards had the steel, they sold some of it to China, some to India, and so on. They built ships with it, memorials with it, it's everywhere. The US didn't sell the steel, the scrap yards did. If you want to say they were in on it, go ahead, but the US didn't cart shit off to China.

Thermite is a plausable explanation backed by video footage.
Of course this is why no credible scientists have concluded this?

Seriously, if you are going to hoist a few pics and automatically determine it is from thermite (thermate) when you don't even know how it works, you are crazy. First, thermite/thermate burns down, with gravity, not across like it would have to to sheer the metal. Second, it takes a shitload of thermate, something to ignite it, and it has to be in direct contact with it to do so. You would have to plant it way in advance. It also doesn't explode which kills all your "he heard an explosion" quotes. Lastly, almost every credible engineer and scientist concluded that it was probably aluminum with the jet feul that caused anything you may be seeing in those photos.

Seriously man, not even the real conspiracy theorists buy this one.
