Thousand of gallons of jet fuel, combined with combustible materials in the building, and the wind howling thru a thousand foot structure creating a giant blow torch, this helped too.
Add to the fact that the Trade Center's structure was a exoskeleton. Steel beams on the outside walls. If the Empire State building was hit instead the results would have been different. No implosion would have taken place.
1. There was no thermite or thermite residue found anywhere in the wreckage of the WTC.
2. There is a reason thermite is not used by professional demolitions experts. It sucks as a tool for demolitions work.
3. Thermite explains nothing found in the WTC wreckage or anything that happened that day better than the explanation of catastrophic collapse after a terrorist attack.
Thermite is iron oxide and aluminum. This is the thermite reaction:
Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3
The planes were aluminum. The towers were steel. It takes a special kind of idiot to be surprised that any of those materials were found in a spot where tons of aluminum had been plowed into tons of steel together with tons of fuel.

Spontaneous generation, yeah, that's it!
I've heard of things like that going from maggots to spontaneous combustion.
I had a relative who was a fireman.
And, I had another friend who was a biologist.
I can put two and two together.
