From Wikipedia:

Thermite may be used for repair by the welding in-place of thick steel sections such as locomotive axle-frames where the repair can take place without removing the part from its installed location.

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. Care must also be taken to ensure that the rails remain straight, without resulting in dipped joints, which can cause wear on high speed and heavy axle load lines.

Copper thermite is used for welding together thick copper wires for the purpose of electrical connections. It is used extensively by the electrical utilities and telecommunications industries (exothermic welded connections).


Now on top of this, we find out that it's used by "electrical utilities and telecommunications industries". How many mires of electrical wires and telecommunications cables was in the towers, keeping mind this is a city of fifty thousand people?

You keep doing this - pretending that it's impossible to find a certain chemical but the truth is these chemicals are pretty common.

NIST didn't find that. And fire investigation protocols demand that once any unusual events are detected in a building fire, specific accelerants and incendiaries must be looked for. NIST looked for nothing, because there was nothing to look for.

No chemical analysis. They conjectured.
Now your getting into nonsense. They should have kept evidence. Um, where? Where in the world are they going to keep billions and billions of tons of evidence?

Your also saying that "investigation protecols demand" that they look for accelerants, etc... And I disagree with you. When you have it on video tape that a plane with ten thousand gallons of jet fuel rams into a building, I'm guessing they knew the cause the fires without having to guess. I'm just saying.
