1. Why does NIST state that a yellow stream of molten metal seen in some photographs pouring down the side of WTC2 was aluminum from the crashed plane, even though aluminum burns with a white glow?

NIST concluded that the source of the molten material was aluminum alloys from the aircraft, since these are known to melt between 475 degrees Celsius (900 degrees Fahrenheit) and 640 degrees Celsius (1,200 degrees Fahrenheit)—depending on the particular alloy—well below the expected temperatures (about 1,000 degrees Celsius or 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit) in the vicinity of the fires. Aluminum is not expected to ignite at normal fire temperatures and there is no visual indication that the material flowing from the tower was burning.

  1. Why didn’t the NIST investigation consider reports of molten steel in the wreckage from the WTC towers?

The condition of the steel in the wreckage of the WTC towers (i.e., whether it was in a molten state or not) was irrelevant to the investigation of the collapse since it does not provide any conclusive information on the condition of the steel when the WTC towers were standing.

    Yes, I’m aware of what the official report says. The FBI only concluded they couldn’t prove any connection to terrorism.

    Every mathematician and data analyst the SEC hired to look at the trades said they were indistinguishable from trades made on advance knowledge. Despite this, the SEC concluded in their findings the trade patterns were “coincidence”. To this day, the portions of the report detailing the SEC’s basis for their conclusion remains classified or so heavily redacted as to only offer conclusionary information.

    So, the SEC looked at all the evidence indicating advance knowledge, handwaved it, said it didn’t actually mean exactly what the experts said, then provided “trust me bro” as their only source. To me, that’s about as believable as Epstein killing himself. But if that’s good enough to count as proof in your mind, go ahead and believe what you want, no judgment from me.

    The only sad thing here is how you treat people you disagree with.

      The sad thing with you conspiracy theorists is that you pick some internet factlet and build an entire world on top of it and THEN everything else is made to fit. It’s due to a lack of Critical Thinking-ability (very prevalent in the USA). This also means that you can’t think critically about your own decisions in your daily life - e.g. healthcare or finances. The good news is that Critical Thinking can be learned; also later in life. So instead of digging into nonsense stories about the SEC and 911, start reading on Critical Thinking; it will make you a more successful, healthier, happier human being.
