In an Email Conversation between Dr James Fetzer and Dr Steven Jones , it was established Jones was showing videos of Controlled demolition using military thermite . There was a very important ingredient that was not found.. Jones has had to rethink his opinion and has stated as such.. The first email is off Fetzer:

"You do not seem to have found BARIUM NITRATE, Ba(NO3)2, an ingredient in military versions of thermite, yet you have used videos of the use of military versions of thermite to illustrate its cutting power relative to engine blocks. I presume those exercises included Barium Nitrate among the ingredients. Don't these videos have to be redone relative to these analogs? How do experiments with thermite relate to work on thermite analogs? How do these "analogs" work?

Fetzer likely meant to ask about barium oxide, which would be left after the incendiary reaction. And indeed, wikipedia's definition of thermate confirms that military-grade thermate contains 29 percent barium nitrate:

"Thermate is an incendiary compound used for military applications. Thermate, whose primary component is thermite, also contains sulfur and possibly barium nitrate, both of which increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly reduce the ignition temperature. Various mixtures of these compounds can be called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulphur and 0.3% binder.
-----

Jones has acknowledged as much in an article posted on his website, in which he announces he is now on the hunt for 10 tons worth of other, ill-defined "thermite analogs" -- any of which would still be woefully inadequate to explain the scale of the damage at the World Trade Center.
