Creative Speculation

You claimed that the fact that NIST's models did not show the curtain wall was significant. It wasn't significant. The model showed the perimeter columns folding up like a wet paper bag. That's what's significant. It bore no resemblance to reality.

Obviously in the video we're seeing more than just the curtain wall--because the curtain wall could not stand on its own without the support of the perimeter columns. Thus NIST's models bear no resemblance to reality. There is no reason to do a model showing the non-structural curtain wall.

Thermite demolitions have been done. In 1935 a 600-foot steel tower was taken down with thermite in Chicago. You guys get your talking points from people who make up their facts.

Explosives planted inside the hollow columns and sized to bulge, but not break, incendiary-heated column walls would buckle the columns and the sound would not escape to the outside.

It's a sign of superior intelligence to avoid jumping to conclusions, and your apparent belief that one must choose between thermite and explosives is simple minded. There is no reason that scientifically-applied thermite could not achieve sudden onset.
