Please, The amount of thermite needed to keep that fire going at that temperature for six days??? Thermite isn't an explosive, it just creates an ultra-hot reaction.
Think of it as burying a campire. If done quickly the embers will stay red-hot for a long time afterwards.
And on top of that if you watch the towers closely they didn't fall symmetrically. Each of the portions above break and twist a slight bit, and hit the floors beneath it as it goes down. The weight of the upper half of the structure coming down destroyed it floor by floor by floor. If there were charges placed at the bottom then it would have fell as one big piece. Videos show otherwise.
As for your second link, well, it just sounds like a bunch of people describing what it sounds like to have a plane strike a building.
And the third.. So what? Silverstein had just assumed the position, and probably went to make some changes. I bet you the towers are worth way more to him still standing then as a pile of rubble.
Angles of the towers falling:
