Part 3/9:
Supporters of the thermite theory point out the observable effects left on vehicles and buildings near the site of the collapse, which they argue resemble those caused by thermite reactions. They highlight specific markers like pockmarks in plastics and considerable metal corrosion, noting that such destruction aligns with the characteristics of thermite rather than exotic energy beams. Additionally, critics of the laser theory argue that producing sufficient energy for a space-based weapon would be enormously challenging and lacks feasibility, further reinforcing thermite's standing as the more likely cause.
