Thermate is a cutting charge and not a high explosive.It wouldve taken tons of thermate to cut enough beams to get the effect your envisioning.In addition the columns wouldve had to been stripped to the steel core,free of all concrete,insulation and fireproofing and the charges wouldve had to be installed covertlyHeavily labor intensive and hardly non invasive.

Most people cite the temp of jet fuel without thinking for a second about all the other materials that filled the interior of the towers.Any idea what some of those items might be and thier respective ignition temps?
