In the following 9/11 network television footage, ABC television captures white smoke beginning to emerge from the base of WTC 2 within moments of its collapse.

Interestingly, the WBAC cameraman recording the footage also seems to take notice of this newly emerging smoke and pans downward.

A fuller view of this smoke is recorded by NBC television during this same time. A smoke-free region at the base of the towers quickly fills with smoke, followed shortly by WTC 2's collapse.

Demolition device use at the base of these buildings cannot be entirely ruled out until such time that a cause of this smoke, which only appeared just prior to WTC 2's collapse, can be explained. This white smoke contrasts sharply with the black smoke of office burning fires 80+ floors above.

Evidence of thermite use at the WTC on September 11, 2001 is accumulating. Thermite reactions produce white aluminum oxide smoke.
