good article. WRT what took down building 7 sans airplane on 9/11, a bit of a small point, most likely it wasn't Thermite is was Thermate, a form of Thermite enhanced to create extreme heat and melt steel. I have not been able to prove that nano-particles thermite may be considered thermate, but it may be related. From Wikipedia:
"Thermate is a variation of thermite and is an incendiary pyrotechnic composition that can generate short bursts of very high temperatures focused on a small area for a short period of time. It is used primarily in incendiary grenades........Because thermate burns at higher temperatures than ordinary thermite,[1] it has military applications in cutting through tank armor or other hardened military vehicles or bunkers."
Sounds like the ideal stuff to make molten iron and take down a building. and a country.
