how did he manage to get on a plane

Thermite is an incendiary not an explosive, Cal. But I agree, I don't think they were lined with NIC (nano-thermite) 30 years before the incident.

The one thing that always bothered me (and I'm no 9/11 theorist) were the explosions every few floors as the buildings were collapsing. To me, and not that I know much about explosives, because... well, I kinda do, it looks like a text book demo placement.

Did the Government bring the buildings down? No, I don't think so. But there are those and other little things that have always bugged me about that day... alas, I'm not going to get into them here.

The terminology is wrong and I defer to your experience- but something has to trigger the "burn"- and wouldn't jet fuel or a burning airplane or office be enough to do so? My point was, I don't think thermite would be able to remain dormant for an hour or so with out a spectacular release of energy and collapse.

Wasn't that explained by 'experts' long ago as nothing more than air release, as a result of the floors collapsing down on one another below the level of collapse?

MIC or nano-thermite is much easier to "light up" than regular thermite. Whereas regular thermite needs something that burns extremely hot, like a magnesium fire (mag ribbons), certain MIC's can easily be lit up with nothing more than a blasting cap or even a match. So, to answer your question, MIC would indeed be easily lit up by a 1200+ degree fire.

My point was, I don't think thermite would be able to remain dormant for an hour or so with out a spectacular release of energy and collapse.

This is true to a point... While MIC burn can indeed be "controlled" by varying the amount of aluminum in the composition, and by it's thickness. And yes, it wouldn't remain dormant as long as "regular" thermite, because of the quite easy ways of setting it off, ie. burning jet fuel.

Perhaps it was, however since I don't really follow the movement, I can't say I've heard that. But let's say the "experts" are correct... why did all of these explosions only happen on only in the corners on each floor where they occurred? Were the corner windows weaker? Is there more pressure created in building corners than in the middle of the building? Last I checked, pressure waves spread out equally, unless something is blocking their path of travel. Furthermore, this didn't happen on every single floor. Just every 4-5 floors (I'd have to watch the video again). And it didn't happen all the way down, just 4 or 5 blasts. enough to weaken the outer supports. Once the mass of the top floors, in addition to the "blown" floors was added to the cascade, the supports of the remaining floors didn't have to be charged, as there was enough weight collapsing on top of them.

Remember how the WTC buildings were built. They basically had an outer support skeleton. Nut much in the way of inner floor supports, as each floors was anchored to the exterior skeleton... I'm sure there were some columns here and there, I am not a building engineer. But the main building support was on the exterior.

Post up the video sport.

Here is a teaser for you...
"Also unique to the engineering design were its core and elevator system. The twin towers were the first supertall buildings designed without any masonry. Worried that the intense air pressure created by the buildings’ high speed elevators might buckle conventional shafts, engineers designed a solution using a drywall system fixed to the reinforced steel core. For the elevators, to serve 110 stories with a traditional configuration would have required half the area of the lower stories be used for shaftways. Otis Elevators developed an express and local system, whereby passengers would change at "sky lobbies" on the 44th and 78th floors, halving the number of shaftways."

Oh, dear. Are we REALLY still having this conversation?

The video below shows that Bush did in fact see the first plane hit on that same day. I'll give him credit there.

I guess it just happened to be a mere coincidence that not one, not two but three "world trade towers" all fell with precision.

All three built of steel, yet fell STRAIGHT DOWN!

Anyone that believes that would have to be dysfunctional in the brain.

Would all floors have the same explosive air pressure? Sounds like explosives to me until enough of it is falling and then they aren't needed anymore.

The pentagon was hit with a plane? Where is it? If it did get hit by one, why was it right in the area of renovation? Why not just fly the plane straight down in the middle of it instead of an area where not many people were?

How would hijackers know to hit that section of the building and were they taught to fly a plane so precise to hit on ground level and not leave a mark in the grass showing that a plane had even touched that low. Private school or not, we still taught them how to fly.
