chek, you've been at this way too long to be repeating this tired tripe. You already _know_ my response was going to be "it wasn't pure liquid aluminum" and yet you went to all this trouble anyway. Why?
No one ever claimed it was pure liquid aluminum. It was mixed with plenty of things that change the color. Anyone who thinks the liquid metal was "pure" and not mixed with impurities is deluding themselves. So don't compare what was seen at the scene with pure liquid aluminum.
Do me a favor, start up a roaring charcoal fire pit, inside a stainless steel bowl melt an aluminium can. Look at the color. Then throw a few pieces of paper and some wood inside the molten aluminum. Look at the color again.
This is a fun experiment for kids of all ages. |
And by the same token you already know that Steve Jones performed these experiments with other likely additives in the molten aluminium which showed no uniform glow either.
As far as I know the material in the so-called solidified 'meteorites' has not been released for analysis yet, but it sure looks to all the world like oxidised ferrous material rather than the other most likely common candidates - aluminium or copper.
Why not just release all the evidence and have done with it?
Unless there's something to hide, of course.
That would be understandable. |

Ok, I will agree that was cut with a blow tourch, but that still doesn't explain the 1600 degree tempature of ground zero for six weeks after 9/11. It is described in the Steven Jones quote above that Patrick Brown posted. Also in my mind you haven't succesfully proven that the molten metal steel witnesses are misstaken. _________________ 9/11 was an inside job |

1600 degrees what? Fareinheit. I've already told you that NIST reported fires reached 1000 degrees Celsius.. that's 1800 degrees farenheit.
I see no reason to believe that 1800 degrees farenheit, pre collapse, adding all the energy released by the collapse, plus all the energy in the continuing chemical reactions in the debris wouldn't remain that hot.
If you have some analysis that shows that it's impossible, free free to post it.
Quote: | Also in my mind you haven't succesfully proven that the molten metal steel witnesses are misstaken. |
Yes, I have. It could not have been melted steel because steel didn't melt, the temperature wasn't high enough. There is no physical evidence of any steel melting. It's also a fairly easy mistake to make, so I don't fault them for making it. |

First this should be easily explained, but its not. Second I don't have a theory. I only go by the facts, and the facts show that criminal elements of our government (U.S.A government) attacked America on 9/11. Haven't you ever heard of Operation Gladio, Operation Ajax, the Gulf of Tonkin, Cubana Airlines Flight 455, and The Join Chieffs of Staff's plan Operation Northwoods to blow up planes and blame it on Cuba. How did I even bring up the US government before this, besides a few facts about insider trading involving CIA agents. _________________ 9/11 was an inside job |

Is there any information out there about the size, shape or composition of these "pools" of molten whatever?
Just a thought here (as the whole subject is very vague) but molten anything would need to cool + solidify before it could be removed.
Is there any record of any weirdly-shaped solids coming out of GZ (and I don't mean the "meteorites", they're something else entirely) ? Bearing in mind that - I suppose - these would have been cleared very late in the day, as molten stuff would naturally flow and sink downwards. _________________ So remember - next time you can't find a parking spot, go to plan B: blow up your car |

" I never said anything about the US government till after you said that, so you just made that up that i said that the molten metal steel for 6 weeks is some how attached to criminal elements of our government.

Of course not. An "incorrect experiment" is an experiment which is not testing what it claims to be testing. Steven Jones' experiments are incorrect.

All right, just tell me the chain of reasoning you used to go from melted metal to criminal elements. ANY criminal elements will do. I believe that what the witnesses saw, be it melted steel or melted aluminum or melted glass, or whatever, was the result of a catastrophic building failure. I don't pretend to understand these things completely, but the people who DO understand it don't find anything suspicious about the fires under the rubble or the results of those fires.
Quote: |

How did he know the explosion underneath him occured before the first plane hit? How could ANYONE accurately interpret all the sounds and tremors involved in the crash when nothing like this had ever happened before? I think he, like many witnesses, reported what he believed happened, but was not in a position to interpret his experiences. It's like the proverbial blind man trying to determine the nature of an elephant by feeling only its trunk.
Do you believe explosives were set off in the basement before the crash? If so, why? It didn't cause the building to fail, in fact it caused pitifully little damage. I can't imagine what purpose this would serve in the real world, although the argument that it happened could help shore up the fantasy that criminals in the government were involved somehow. |

It would be more difficult to convince me of some things than others. Some beliefs that I hold have an enormous amount of momentum because they are so overwhelmingly supported by observation and experimentation.
For instance, if someone made the claim that the sun orbits the earth instead of the other way around, there had better be some compelling evidence of this before I would abandon a belief based on the interpretations of the data made by experts over the last few centuries. It would require far more than just finding fault with the "official story" that the Earth, in fact, orbits the sun.
It would make no difference if Newton and Copernicus were identified as Jewish (I'm sorry, ZIONIST) shills. Any arguments that it's OBVIOUS that the sun orbits the Earth would fall on deaf ears. This is not because I am closed-minded, but because the quality of the "evidence" offered is poor, whereas the quality of that supporting the alternate viewpoint is rock-solid. |

What you may have missed in your excitement is that the 'red hot' temperature shown below is at approx 930C-1100C, (approx 2000F) and is of the same appearance you would expect from steel in that same temperature range.
So, that leaves you back at square one trying to explain the heat source. Where did the heat come from?
NIST have no evidence of it, and other than another round of speculation masquerading as proof I doubt you critics do either.

No, you misunderstand; there is no doubt that steel became red-hot in the underground fires, there are some pictures of it. But what is also claimed is that molten steel was dripping from it, and the good Professor Jones claims that what appears to be molten metal falling from the tower must be steel because molten aluminium does not glow. Here we have some evidence that molten aluminium does glow when it is sufficiently hot, as indeed one would expect. Therefore the possibility exists that both purported examples of molten steel are in fact molten aluminium. That does not rule out the possibility of the flow from the building glowing red from other causes. Obviously Prof Jones failed to make aluminium glow because he did not make it hot enough.
The souce of the heat in the debris is another issue, and must be due to underground fires, any heat from any source on the day itself would have long gone six weeks later. Why truthshirkers should think the heat demonstrates controlled demolition is one of the enduring mysteries of 9/11. _________________ ".......some partial collapse [of WTC7] would not have been suspicious......." - chek |

What you may have missed in your excitement is that the 'red hot' temperature shown below is at approx 930C-1100C, (approx 2000F) and is of the same appearance you would expect from steel in that same temperature range.
So, that leaves you back at square one trying to explain the heat source. Where did the heat come from?
NIST have no evidence of it, and other than another round of speculation masquerading as proof I doubt you critics do either.

No, you misunderstand; there is no doubt that steel became red-hot in the underground fires, there are some pictures of it. But what is also claimed is that molten steel was dripping from it, and the good Professor Jones claims that what appears to be molten metal falling from the tower must be steel because molten aluminium does not glow. Here we have some evidence that molten aluminium does glow when it is sufficiently hot, as indeed one would expect. Therefore the possibility exists that both purported examples of molten steel are in fact molten aluminium. That does not rule out the possibility of the flow from the building glowing red from other causes. Obviously Prof Jones failed to make aluminium glow because he did not make it hot enough.
The souce of the heat in the debris is another issue, and must be due to underground fires, any heat from any source on the day itself would have long gone six weeks later. Why truthshirkers should think the heat demonstrates controlled demolition is one of the enduring mysteries of 9/11. |
While it's all very eloquent, it still does not explain the rusty ferrous oxidised look (in the absence of proper analysis) of those solidified 'meteorites'. Aluminium alloys don't look like that.
Nor is the newly discovered scientific phenomenom of natural blast furnaces convincingly explained. Blast furnaces being a fairly complex mechanism in themselves.
Natural 'underground fires' is a little weak on the descriptive front. |

I don't recall any body saying that it was impossible for aluminum to glow just that you need very high temperatures which didn't exist in the twin towers. Judy makes some good points and some bogus points so most investigators will take the good and dismiss the bogus. _________________ We check the evidence and then archive it: www.911evidencebase.co.uk

Ok so let me get this right, in a thread dealing with all the MOLTEN metal evidence, you are now claiming that the temperature never got hot enough to produce solid glowing metal?
Seriously?
Again, NIST did an experiment (like.. you know.. science), and found CEILING temperatures to be 1000 degrees celsius. That's 400 degrees hotter than what you need to MELT aluminum, let alone make it glow.
You guys are seriously claiming it never got hot enough to make aluminum glow, let alone melt? |
