Quote from Bitstream:
at least four other first responders/emts are cross referencing word for word what mcpadden is saying.
And hundreds of other fr's/emts say otherwise, Bit.
At the very least, you must question whether or not the whole thermite is the only way the those beams can be cut at an angle as Jones and Loose Change say / oxy acetelyne can cut the beam argument is not so clear cut as Jones/LC would like you to believe.
I've shown photos of workers at the site using torches. I've shown angle cut beams at the Kennedy Airport hangar in New York. I've shown one of your countrymen using a torch to cut steel thicker than that found in the WTC towers.
Now here's a video of a cleanup worker talking about how they angle cut the columns to get them to fall in the direction they want.

Jones at one point has said that workers were usingtorches to cut the steel.

The angle-cut beam in the first photo above has been the subject of much discussion. Recently, a first-responder has stated that he saw this particular cut-column (it is rather remarkable in appearance) when he arrived at the GZ scene on 9/11/2001. We are seeking a written statement from him to this effect to hopefully settle this issue. An analysis of the slag seen clinging to the inside and the outside (both) of this angle-cut column would also do much to answer questions about what did the cutting. I think you will agree that in the second photo, the worker is using an oxyacetylene torch to cut the steel.
And CTerz will say that the presence of firemen in the photo proves that it was done imeadiately after 9/11 since the rescue operations went on for only 2 weeks.
But the firemen were there for months, making it much more likely that the beam was cut during cleanup.
Now, while thermite could in fact cut the beams at an angle, they don't blow them out instantly and allow a very fast collapse that we saw on 9/11. HUUUGE bombs would have been necessary to blow the columns out at the speed necessary to make the building collapse the way it did. You don't hear that Bit, which makes it an impossibility.

Anyways, decide for yourself, grazie...
