Thermite is a more logical explanation for the collapse than the other theories... and i say 'theories' since it doesn't appear anybody knows the truth.

thermite is the lamest 'theory' if you are going to collapse a building. Personally I do think the fire from the planes caused the collapse, but even if I was to bring a building down, thermite is not the way. a shaped charges is the way to go. thermite is very random, its hard to use and it only burns down, making it useless for severing virtical support girders. A shaped charge would be able to cut through the girder as shown, and be set off with control. In my younger and foolish years I played with thermite, aluminum powder, rust, and Sulpher to bind it. It is chaotic and uncontrollable, once set it burns straight down.
I don’t understand your fascination with thermite, it’s not what you think it is. If this was a huge setup, they would use industry standards to collapse it, not thermite.
