He gets 8 deg C, but there are a number of factors that would reduce that, because clearly every Joule will not be transferred to the steel. For one, it takes TIME to heat steel and a thin layer of thermite "burns" very quickly. The other is that energy would invariably go into gas expansion.

So, if you wanted to attain a temperature of > 400 deg C, you would probably need a coating at least 10mm thick. We're talking cookies not chips. I wonder if they found any of those bad boys...(not really).

It would only be necessary to do this on one floor, but then the problem is getting the radio controlled airplane to hit the right floor.

Mr. Urich, Dr. Jones has stated publicly that the towers fell too quickly to be simple gravitational collapse, so it would have required doping the whole structure with thermite paint, by implication.

He argued this point in a debate with Leslie Robertson, after Robertson stated his opinion that, as soon as the collapse began, nothing could have stopped it from continuing all the way down.
Jones vehemently disagreed arguing that the collapse may actually have stopped if not for the further removal of structure.

Jones may change his tune of course.
