You think because why?

Of course there were things exploding and catching fire and causing smoke BEFORE the collapse. The largest refrigeration plant in the world (I think) was under the towers and it was full of think which would "explode" and give off white smoke...

Yes some metal was observed in one corner of one floor... let's see 110x4x2 corners = 880 corners and something metal came out of floor 80 of the south tower. And what was interesting about floor 80 NE corner?
It was just below the location where an engine or some plane part exploded out of the building. If it was an engine... it was attached to a wing which carried thousands of pounds of fuel... YES lots of fuel exploded on impact... but not ALL the fuel
The corner was also the location of a huge lead acid back up power supply. Lead and very heavy copper, both of which melt at quite low temperatures... Batteries which short and arc can produce temps of thousands of degrees.
It seems to me that the metal could be something other than thermite or melter steel. And note that when tower 2 did begin to come down... it tilted AWAY from the corner you claim was attacked by thermite. Makes no sense.
After the collapse, there are some core columns still standing. They come straight down as a unit.
The remain core columns collapse from "self buckling" after the lost their bracing. Look up Euler and slenderness ratios for steel columns. If a steel column is taller than 150x its shortest plan dimension (22" for CC501) and it's height was about 77 floors..77x12'x12" which give it a slender ratio of over 500. The columns buckled below their mid point and broke into 36' lengths which are SEEN LYING IN THE DEBRIS PILE WITH NO EVIDENCE OF EXPLODED JOINTS.
Lauren have you carefully LOOKED at the evidence or are you repeating what you read on the internet?
Have you a background in structural engineering, material science, physics? We're all entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts.
