Bull! The heat from the fires was hot enough to weaken the steel, and with the weight of the forces involved I don't doubt for a second the steel beams were bent. That said, there is no way any demolitionist would have used thermite or thermate in the demolition process. The Truthers are committed to the thermite- thermite agenda and will jump off cliffs to perpetuate a lie.
Unignited thermite was found in dust and debris from the demolition of the 3 towers. Thermite does not just occur in nature. It's man-made. I could make a better case for my theory of what happened that day than you could for that fairy tale the neo- cons are trying to foist upon the world.

What was reported to have been found in the dust samples from lower was thermitic material.
Dr. Judy Wood discusses the nature of thermitic material at page 124 of her book, Where Did the Towers Go? Thermitic material is what thermite is made of. She asks if finding chocolate, sugar and nano-wheat (flour) in the dust would prove the existence of chocolate chip cookies in the building. The buildings contained aluminum cladding and iron, the significant component of steel. Iron dust exposed to atmospheric conditions rapidly yields iron oxide, i.e., rust. Finding constituents of the building in the dust does not show that they were previously combined in some manner. Finding the constitutents of the building in the dust does provide proof that much of the building and what was in it were reduced to dust or powder. Any viable theory must explain what reduced the building and contents to powder.

However, see how how the editor resigned after this article was published and how the Bentham scientific "scientific" and "peer reviewed" journal was discredited by publishing a computer generated nonsense article. See the Wiki article for general info and another phony article stiong.
Bentham Science Publishers is a publishing company of scientific, technical, and medical literature based at Sharjah (United Arab Emirates). Bentham publishes more than 116 subscription-based academic journals and over 230 open access journals and e-books. Bentham Science Publishers has operating units in United States, Japan, China, India, and the Netherlands. Its open access branch, Bentham Open Science, has received attention for its questionable peer-review practices.

Controversies and criticism
Bentham Open journals claim to employ peer review; however, the fact that a fake paper generated with SCIgen had been accepted for publication, has cast doubt on this. Furthermore, the publisher is known for spamming scientists with invitations to become a member of the editorial boards of its journals.
In 2009, the Bentham Open Science journal, The Open Chemical Physics Journal, published a study contending dust from the World Trade Center attacks contained "active nanothermite". Following publication, the journal's editor-in-chief Marie-Paule Pileni resigned stating, "They have printed the article without my authorization… I have written to Bentham, that I withdraw myself from all activities with them".
In a review of Bentham Open for The Charleston Advisor, Jeffrey Beall noted that "in many cases, Bentham Open journals publish articles that no legitimate peer-review journal would accept, and unconventional and nonconformist ideas are being presented in some of them as legitimate science." He concluded by stating that "the site has exploited the Open Access model for its own financial motives and flooded scholarly communication with a flurry of low quality and questionable research."
In 2013, The Open Bioactive Compounds Journal was one of the journals accepting an obviously bogus paper submitted as part of the Who's Afraid of Peer Review? sting. It has since been discontinued.
