It's pretty telling when an engineer at home with no professional experience working with thermic reactions proves that steel beams can be cut with a simple home made thermite mixture and a steel tube but scientists, the military, the government, the media and a detailed enquiry suggested it was impossible.

It takes a conspiracy theorist mindset to think that many people are involved or in on it. There's a lot of leading the witness type stuff going on in this video, like 'white flames' that turn into white flashes, and furnishings melting turning into 'molten aluminum'. If there was a grand conspiracy over this; it's way too late to be carrying on to be effective. People including myself burned out on it, and if the number of people involved is really that high; it would likely include all the people at the forefront of the truthers as well (putting out so much misinformation to make truthers look like idiots). The few people that care about and believe this stuff should be well moved on to 'who benefits' by now. -Just my opinion.

If you repeat the same lie for long enough, it becomes historical fact by default no matter how many people know what really happened. Just takes enough threats to ruin your career and reputation if you start spouting off conspiracy theories. It could be argued that the value of knowing the truth diminishes over time, but I still say it matters. Like any major event, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident for example, it is better to know the truth.

steel loses structural strength well below its melting temperature (anyone who has used a forge knows this)

the building design had rather small steel pins at the edges of the floors holding them into the shell wall

damaged pins at point of impact displaced some pins weakening that locality

note that jet fuel can reach 5000 degrees within a jet engine, so it is a matter of getting enough air to the fuel as in a large fire's updraft

floors collapsing added extraordinary weight to floors below when they started to collapse causing those to cascade fall

Termites eat wood, not steel.
