Exactly. Anyone who says the NIST report somehow eliminated thermite as
contributory agent is seriously in error. They never considered it at
all. From the NIST site:
Did the NIST investigation look for evidence of the WTC towers being
brought down by controlled demolition? Was the steel tested for
explosives or thermite residues?
Answer: NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.
IOW the only tests which were done looking for residue of thermite-
those of Steven Jones FOUND thermite residue. Did he plant that residue
there?
Here is the only scientific report ever to consider the details of a
contributory agent:

But the report is careful not to say that there was thermite present
since NO AGENCY including NIST had ever tested for the residue.
Steven Jones was the first to test for it - and he found it.
Not conclusive - but once again - it is making the case to reopen the
shoddy NIST investigation with a true scientific investigation
and, as someone that uses the stuff, that is NOT what thermite
leftovers looks like.
Hmm. Would you care to explain that.
Jones
