No - thermite wouldn't do it. Thermite's advantage is that the heat
has to be contained to reach temperature - like in welding rails or
specialized shapes. It thermite is exposed, the heat disappates and
the reaction disappears. I would think a welder would know that.

Next thing, "Truthers" will be claiming that WTC 7 and the the Towers
were brought down by tachyon beams routed through the deflector dish
of an Klingon War Bird who were hired by the Bush Administration so he
could have a pretext to go to war with Iraq.

Morons.

Never heard of shape charges?


Shape (sic) charges are not used for cutting steel beams. Of course, if one
doesn't know the term, one probable doesn't know the usage either.

Huh? In civilian life, shaped charges sure as hell are used for cutting
steel beams. Think *linear*.
