Reply #27: Yes, But Doing So Creates Effects Not Seen.

[Christophera]

cutting steel with high explosives requires huge loading meaning that some shrapnel will be expelled at near 20,000 foot per second.

To cut the 47 1,300 foot columns into pieces small enough to disapear from photos requires up to 1,500 cuts. To make those cuts would totally change the visual character of the event.

If there was enough thermite high in the tower to facilitate the collapse we saw, molten steel would have been splattered around ground zero and noted. As it was there was only molten steel in the basement having flowed there from nearby locations. That molten steel was undoubtly created by thermite. That is actually the ONLY way to do it.
