thermite/thermate seems to be a non-starter for me as the cause of the demolition of the buildings. How could it have been installed without anyone noticing?
Don't forget that immediately prior to 9/11 the twin towers were undergoing the "largest vertical transportation maintenance in history". The workers could have been given any number of spray applied finishes (fireproofing being the clearest example) and were told to apply it to various key structural columns/beams and they would have never known if it was thermite they were applying.

Hatha, a couple of inches of 'fire-proof' coating (in the form of thermate) applied on the initial collapsing floors (about 10 in each building) would set the collapse in motion, once you have the momentum of the top part of the building falling at free fall speed for a couple of seconds (thousands of tons), it is mechanically impossible for the bottom floors not to start disintegrating...
I agree with this.
