if I mayOk. So can you please articulate how this is connected to the events of 9/11? I assume you're saying that 9/11 was an inside job because prior to 9/11 the above piece was written?
Institutionalized thinkers.
Can't think for themselves.
Half their brains are shut down and just can't accept it.
Does it matter?Are these your own thoughts, or did you find them on the internet?

Just in the theme of one point at a time.Understand the pancake theory
However in the center of the towers are lifts surrounded by steel
Lifts wells by definition are empty air shafts
This is surrounded by steel columns
You can see this in a simple google search on the design and construction of the towers
Ok here is the key point
The concrete floors give way
And for the purposes of discussion do so uniformly - symmetrically
But in the middle of these lift shafts there is nothing to pan cake - the ratio of concrete floor to steel columns is entirely different
Remember the pan cake theory requires the outer perimeter of concrete and the inner outside the center core to give way
Nothing explains the inner core collapse as there is nothing to pull it down
More over we see the top part of the towers disintegrate before the lower part even begins to "pancake"
We see the top part of one tower tilt 40 degrees and correct itself back to a symmetrical descent! This is simply inexplicable absent demolition charges. Once the tower tilts the sheer mass of weight could only further exaggerate the tilt - what could possibly correct it.
Reports of smoldering or molten steel weeks after the collapse are also inexplicable with the O S.
The black color of the smoke and reports by fire fighters that it was manageable together with survivors who pass by the target floors all attest to insufficient heat to effect the steel to such a cataclysmic level.
The speed of the descent itself is inexplicable as the steel only gets thicker the lower it gets. We never see any resistance whatsoever and it's symmetry is quite frankly indefensible.
I could go on and on indefinitely
Aluminium - melting - possibly - unlikelyJust in the theme of one point at a time.
Re the molten steel and heat.
I think a lot of what people thought was molten steel, was actually molten aluminium.
Aluminium has a much lower melting point, and is what the majority of the plane was made of.
And from what I remember reading, the heat retained under the rubble was reasonably explained for the actual length of time.
I think I've discussed this before, but a quick search didn't show me anything.
I used the analogy of standing in a fire pit 12 hours after the fire was put out. The insulation has kept enough heat in the embers under the ash, that you could still burn your foot.
Would you like to discuss this point until we are both satisfied?
A side note, next we could talk about the shaft, as I've not really though about that aspect before.
My initial thought is that because the building didn't collapse uniformly, the upper stories could easily have crashed down on the shaft. But I'm not going to stand by this, as I've not looked into it at all.
Or could it have lost strength due to the heat, and collapsed the same way the rest of the steel supports failed?
Dunno. But I'd be happy to work though that point next.
Thank you. I really appreciate your reply.Aluminium - melting - possibly - unlikely
600 celcius melting point of aluminium is pretty hot
The jet fuel once spilled across the wtc impact levels - ignited simultaneously
We see this with initial explosion
Remember we are told there is a lot of space between floors - so initial explosion and ignition has ample oxygen - see color of smoke is light after a 20-30 minutes it's darker and darker. In other words the fire is burning out.
Whilst the initial explosion of jet fuel could would should generate sufficient heat to melt aluminium because jet fuel can burn at up to 900 Celsius - there is nothing to sustain this for any length of time.
I don't believe flowing aluminium is any other color than silver
What we see at the wtc is not silver - it's orAnge
Or let me reword that - I don't believe that in open air - as we see flows on the side of the tower- outside a foundry or crucible can you get any metal to flow in that color - the heat required is twice what jet fuel burns at.
There simply has to be some other chemically / explosive induced answer.

Not true. A black smoked fire is not proof of a fire that is oxygen starved...Remember we are told there is a lot of space between floors - so initial explosion and ignition has ample oxygen - see color of smoke is light after a 20-30 minutes it's darker and darker.

Based on the above I just posted, I very much disagree with this statement.There simply has to be some other chemically / explosive induced answer.

the picture below is a shot of a plactics fire. Remember the word PLASTICS, I'll speak to it later.

Does the smoke look similar? I would suggest that the smoke from the plastics fire is darker than the ones on 9/11

Back to Plastics....
What was filling the building? Yup, Office furniture, equipment, and so on. What is the vast majority of office equipment made out of?
This should clear up this inaccuracy. What temperature were the fires at the WTC?

Nist reported that pockets of fire maxed out at around 1000 degrees C. Or a light yellow colour as indicated above on the Molten Aluminium chart.
Based on the above I just posted, I very much disagree with this statement.
* Most of this info I garnered from a site called Metabunk. I reccomend you take a look. Really informative, if technical at times.
Sure thats the heat of jet fuel on fire, but what about the fires IGNITED by jet fuel, and then SUSTAINED by all that plastic office furniture etc?We are saying the jet fuel is between 600-900Celcius
Why does it indicate the fire is oxygen starved and depleted? Where did you hear that? Source? I will freely admit that black smoke, for CERTAIN fires, in CERTAIN conditions, MIGHT indicate a lack of oxygen, but I have just shown you multiple examples of black smoke fires that are certainly not depleted, nor oxygen starved. Furthermore one of the examples was a plastics fire, ie fuel that would have been similar to what was readily available on every floor of WTC 1 and 2, and the smoke was black.The black smoke may have no bearing on the heat of the fire but it does indicate the fire is oxygen starved or depleted as the thickness of the black smoke has to reduce the available oxygen
Im not sure what you mean here. Temerature is temperature, it doesnt matter what vessel it is in, if the metal reaches a certain heat, it will change form and colour.The aluminium in a crucible or oven is one thing - aluminium scattered in various sizes across concrete floors is another
We can never know for sure of course, but I would imagine massive chunks of the plane would have been crunched up against the inner wall of the towers, as not much "punched" through the other side on impact. Thats what you see here, the aluminium from the plane (of which there is lots and lots) pushed up against the corner of the tower, heated to around the high 900s Celcius, melting, and dripping out the side of the building.In short I can imagine isolated aluminium for short periods getting to a melting point but little else because as a fluid it will disperse
Disagree - I just showed you a table that shows what colour it should be, depending on temperature. The colour from the WTC pic is light orange. I put it at around 900-ish degrees Celsius, well within what the anticipated temperatures at the crash site. you mention 2000 degrees Celsius...you sure youre not mixing up Fahrenheit there mate? 2000 degrees C is right off the charts...The heat for it to get to bright red/orange would be in the range 2000 Celsius and thus inexplicable
I think we can all agree that seeing as a plane sliced through the building, cutting off electricity, snapping elevator cables and so on, I think its safe to say the sprinklers were NOT working.Further, are we expecting the sprinklers were working or not
You haven't convinced me its molten aluminium but your raising valid points and the possibility that it is can not be entirely dismissed.Sure thats the heat of jet fuel on fire, but what about the fires IGNITED by jet fuel, and then SUSTAINED by all that plastic office furniture etc?

I'll be clear. I interpret that what your saying is: black smoke = oxygen starved and depleted fires in WTC 1 and 2 = the fires didnt bring down the towers.
Ive just given you a really clear piece of evidence that the black smoke was from the fuel (plastic office furiture etc) used to sustain the fire. The fuel ignited it, for sure, but everything else sustained it. The black smoke = oxygen starved fire is a non starter.

So, I guess I'm left with this question. Have I changed your mind on the smoke, the concept that the fires were small/oxygen starved, or the temperature at which aluminium could melt, and the colour? Or is what I have presented incorrect?

Some more on when molten aluminium hits water.
So that pretty much puts to an end the case for explosives planted in the building. It was a pretty crazy idea to begin with don't you think?

Given the age of the Twin Towers there is a strong possibility that the molten aluminium would have come into contact with rust within the buildings' superstructure. However, the molten aluminium reacting with the water is the most likely source of the explosions.Or this comment:
"
This is funny, notice how the Alcoa test included rust? Why rust? I'll tell you why. For those with no chemistry knowledge at all, stop reading now. Rust is also known as Iron(III) oxide, aka Fe3O2. Now what happens when you add that to some molten aluminium (yes there IS a second "i" in Aluminium). Fe3O2 + Al = 2Fe + Al2O3 ... It's called THERMITE! The very compound suspected to have been used in the controlled demolition of the towers. I doubt that's gonna put any conspiracy theories at rest..."
It's nonsenseGiven the age of the Twin Towers there is a strong possibility that the molten aluminium would have come into contact with rust within the buildings' superstructure. However, the molten aluminium reacting with the water is the most likely source of the explosions.
I would agree here. The "fire starved of oxygen" theory is a non starter.The only indication of this might have been black smoke, but (a) black smoke isnt an indicator of an oxygen starved fire in all (or even many) cases, and (b) a misunderstanding of physics, chemistry and misquotes (still waiting for someone to bring up the fireman's "I see two pockets of fire" quote).I really enjoy your points.
I'll leave it to you, as he doesn't seem to want to talk to me.
But I'd also suggest that even if the sprinklers were working, that they would have had very little effect on the fire.
In regards to the fire being starved of oxygen, I'd also add the density of the air at that height, and the airflow due to the location to the water, and the height.
The fact that the fire wasn't burning in a vacuum with a limited amount of oxygen.
Properties of gasses: They will fill any space available. Or on a deeper level, Gay-Lussac's law and the ideal gas law.
Just expanding a little more;
In simple terms, once the oxygen is oxidised, it doesn't just leave an empty void... more oxygen will fill that void, instantly. Warm air rises, cool air falls.
The carbon monoxide/dioxide is less dense and will displace the cooler and denser oxygen.
Sry, this was just going to be the first two lines, then I got carried away!
There are literally hundreds of possible explanations for the explosions heard/reported at ground zero. Thermite/thermate/nanothermate/superdupermilitarygradesecretthermite are certainly not amongst them.It's nonsense
Google molten aluminium it's safe to pour in wAter
We covered this it would need to be powdered aluminium or thermite
Just so I'm clear here - I believe that the flowing metal from the side of the building prior to collapse is most likely aluminium (certainly not steel, nor thermate reaction etc) but in terms of the pools of liquid metal reportedly found in the rubble in the following days/weeks...well, that could be any number of different metals/alloys. No one with any expertise identified it as steel, aluminium or anything else. People made guesses, sure, but thats all they were, guesses. Not sure it matters to be honest. As mentioned before, those buildings were full of all sorts of things, office furniture, supplies, cars in the parking lot, elevator "stuff" like the cables,cabins, kitchens, restaurants and so on and so on and so on. Who KNOWS what was sitting in the rubble, and then was heated to a point of melting.You haven't convinced me its molten aluminium but your raising valid points and the possibility that it is can not be entirely dismissed.
Absolutely - not sure of your point here.I concede at the area around the point of impact would have stripped a lot of the protection exposing in areas the steel to heat but equally this would not be uniform or total - areas would remain protected even on the impact floors.
One stair shaft in one building was aces sable for a short period of time. But this uniformity you're repeating is something I'm confused about. Why does it need to be uniform for the OS to "stand up"?Employees on higher floors attest to passing the impact zones via a stairwell - which again attests to a non uniformity in the heat and damage on the impact floors. This is significant as humans can not survive anywhere near the kinds of temperatures we are discussing.
I would dispute the "Not Conceivable" but certainly agree with you that it could be many different types of metal. Again, unsure as to how this is an "ah hah!" moment though....But for that aluminium to be glowing weeks after the collapse is not conceivable. It would require a different metal and one much hotter.
Not an ahah momentAbsolutely - not sure of your point here.
