I don't have your gift for nit-picking...

For the first time in aviation disaster history, the black boxes of a land-based crash that wasn't located at inaccessible elevation weren't recovered.
Is that better?

Typical of argumentative and ad hominem refusals to consider anything but the "common sense" popular theory, you pick on details and overlook significant statements.

I've corrected that quickly-written statement to its actual intent, which was that Barium and other elements of its type were in higher quantities than they should have been.

Thermite isn't used in communications gear. It isn't used in building renovations either. It's used in exterior open-field conditions such as laying down rail road ties and connecting high-tension electrical cables.

Sigh... what, the 9/11 Commission Report? Do you also at least have a companion "Omission Report", to cover everything that one left out?
And if you qualify the building performance report, the FEMA report and NIST report as "investigations" then fine, however loosely you want to use that word.

I'm sure, like the government theory, much of what they claim can also be replied to or justified otherwise.

Actually, the official story says there wasn't explosions all over the place that day. Just plane crashes. The diesel in the buildings didn't even go off.

Actually, it was intermittent fires that roved from fuel source to fuel source throughout the day; nothing that would fell a building; even your trusted authorities say it wasn't enough to bring it down. The length of time it burned is secondary, according to the NIST theory, to the combination of damage and that one particular fire that "thermally expanded" a horizontal support beam. It could have burned for as little as the thousand-foot towers and still would have gone down, according to their description.

Molten aluminum is silvery-white, this was orange, and burned or remained molten for up to six weeks. Yours is a legitimate question, but analysis answers it for you.

It seems more that they're dismissed by uncorroborated nit-picking and lack of consideration.
