Pons and Fleischmann were forced to make their announcement before they were ready, thus making it easier to shoddily "debunk" their discovery in the press and put the mere notion of cold fusion to rest in the public's consciousness.
They were forced to play their hand prematurely by none other than Steven Jones.
I'll reiterate:
DR. STEVEN JONES IS A FRAUD AND LIAR AND SHOULDN'T BE PRAISED AT THE TOP OF CONSPIRACIES.WIN
It wasn't thermite, it was nano thermate. The former is an incendiary, the latter was used as a military explosive. It was one of the smoking guns of 9/11. Nano thermate is an extremely intimately mixed material. In 2001 there were literally only a few companies in the world that could make it. It should have been easy to find out who the supplier of it was. But no one ever traced this path. NIST never even tested for explosives.
The debunkers like to claim it was just red paint with rust on the back. But when the material was tested it was extremely exothermic, releasing it's energy in a very short burst. It also had a much higher peak that than of thermite. It would be like claiming they used explosive paint in the buildings.
The observed “partly evaporated” steel members is particularly upsetting to the official theory, since fires involving paper, office materials, even diesel fuel, cannot generate temperatures anywhere near the ~5,180F (~2860C) needed to evaporate steel. (Recall that WTC 7 was not hit by a jet, so there was no jet fuel involved in the fires in this building.) However, thermite-variants, RDX and other commonly-used incendiaries or explosives (i.e., cutter-charges) can readily slice through steel, thus cutting the support columns in a controlled demolition, and reach the required temperatures. This mystery needs to be explored – but is not mentioned in the “official” 9-11 Commission or NIST repor
Thermite is a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum powder. The end products of the thermite reaction are aluminum oxide and
molten iron.
So the thermite reaction generates molten iron directly, and is hot enough to melt and even evaporate steel which it contacts while reacting.
Thermite contains its own supply of oxygen and so the reaction cannot be smothered, even with water. Use of sulfur in conjunction with the thermite, for example in thermate, will accelerate the destructive effect on steel, and sulfidation of structural steel was indeed observed in some of the few recovered members from the WTC rubble, as reported in Appendix C of the FEMA report.

Wow, deja vu.
I warned you guys about "Dr. Steven Jones" almost a DECADE ago:
Dr. Steven Jones is a fraud and liar and shouldn't be praised at the top of /r/conspiracy. The thermite theory is a red herring and Jones is controlled opposition that has infiltrated the 9/11 truth movement.
Jones "had actually been instrumental in debunking the claims that cold fusion had been achieved back in the late 80s."
Pons and Fleischmann were forced to make their announcement before they were ready, thus making it easier to shoddily "debunk" their discovery in the press and put the mere notion of cold fusion to rest in the public's consciousness.

I had to remove the second mention of "nano" to bring it to exactly 300 chars but yes, +1

Is nano thermite capable of vaporizing a billion pounds of steel?

Didn’t you get the memo -W is good now he paints pretty pictures /s
