that ordinary fires in the rubble pile could not produce those temperatures. Why would they be producing combustion byproducts if they weren't ordinary fires.

Secondly, you have to agree that those temperatures are hot enough to melt aluminum. Explain to me in any o f the eyewitness accounts where molten steel is distinguished from molten aluminum.

It is still not clear if you think the molten steel is the byproduct of the the thermite reaction or if the thermite melted structural steel. The first makes no sense when you consider that thermite is used for emergency repair welding of railroad tracks- do you really think they wait for weeks for the stuff to cool and harden? The second case is impossible according to photographic "proof" of thermite cut beams.
