...the theoretical maximum temperature of a building fire (maximum 1000°C/1800°F) is not even close to the melting point of steel
Dr. Jones also notes that molten aluminum appears silvery as it melts at 660°C/1220°F, and that it remains silvery when poured in daylight conditions, regardless of the temperature. It is theoretically possible to continue heating liquid aluminum way past its melting point and into the yellow-white temperature range, but the office fire was not a plausible source for such high temperatures, and there was no crucible to contain liquid aluminum for continued heating. Put another way, even if the building fire could have somehow provided the needed temperature for the yellow-white glow, the unrestrained aluminum would have melted and trickled away before it could achieve such a temperature. This problem also rules out other proposed alternative metals — lead, for example — which have similarly low melting points.
Finally, Dr. Jones adds that even if liquid aluminum could have been restrained long enough to make it glow white, it would still have appeared silvery within the first two meters of falling through the air in daylight conditions, due to its high reflectivity and low emissivity.
hus, the liquid metal seen pouring out of the South Tower could not have been aluminum, since it remains yellow in broad daylight, despite falling several hundred feet through the air.
NIST tries to circumvent this problem with the untested proposition that the observed glow could be due to the mixing of aluminum with combustible organic materials from the building's interior. But Dr. Jones has actually performed the experiments that soundly refute NIST's hypothesis. As he puts it, "This is a key to understanding why the aluminum does not 'glow orange' due to partially-burned organics 'mixed' in (per NIST theory), because they do not mix in! My colleague noted that, just like oil and water, organics and molten aluminum do not mix. The hydrocarbons float to the top, and there burn — and embers glow, yes, but just in spots. The organics clearly do not impart to the hot liquid aluminum an 'orange glow' when it falls, when you actually do the experiment!"

Still waiting on your science debunking A&E
Where did you get the idea that the aluminum was burning 980 degrees? Was it not noted to be burning at 1200°C/2200°F
"AE 911 Truth" says that lateral ejections of mult-ton steel was evidence of explosives
"Lateral ejection of multi-ton steel framing members distances of 600 feet at more than 60 mph,
"AE 911 Truith" said that explosives did it, but let's take a look here. Seems that AE 911 Truth is not playing with a full deck considering that the steel columns of WTC1 are standing within the huge bomb crater.
"AE 911 Truth Debunked. That's strike one!
Isolated explosive ejections 20 to 60 stories below the “crush zone,” evidence of bombs.

During the pancake, the floors acted like a plunger in a Syringe. The towers skin and windows became the tube of the Syringe. The increased pressure blew the windows out as each massive acre of floor compressed air between them. It's said that the towers were about 95% air. The air pushed though the core any way it could and the pressure built up. It forced its way out on lower floors wherever it could.
According to the survivors of at least one tower, a hurricane wind blows through the staircase which is located in the core.

It is evident that photo depicts anneled steel, not steel in a molten state. Now, let's take a look here.

AE 911 debunked again, and that's strike three!!!
Just goes to show that you haven't been paying attention to what I have been posting.
Just to let you know that I posted that aluminum temperature color chart as a reference only.

The Jones paper was thoroughly trashed in a 2010 thread that you played little part in; Turbofan and I had a great time. Eventually, the joy of the Truthers faded and they went away without having Jones join the debate, as threatened. Turbo asked him but he was reluctant to debate in a public forum when he found out about my chemistry background.
Wrong!
I don't see all the TRUTHERS supporting YOU or giving you any stars.
And that's the proof that no one is supporting you.
That is only at its lowest temperatures, which Steven Jones failed to tell others. I wonder why. Perhaps, he didn't want to tell anyone that recorded temperatures were much higher than the lower melting point of aluminum.
Just goes to show that you are not paying attention. Go back three post of mine. It is evident that you are just here to deceive others.
Really? What is "Wrong!"? Of course the Truthers don't support me; they can't handle the truth and they are averse to the scientific method.
The A&E is hopelessly lost.
They only have opinion as they certainly don't have science. Call it "selective science" with bias if you would like.
The paper was trashed using Jones' own data. Jones couldn't find his own backside with both hands if it was on fire.
The only reason that I expose A&E is so that those about to be sucked in to the alternate reality of their cult have a chance to see both sides before they slide down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Most people don't care enough to even read the fantasies spouted by A&E much less bother to critique them.
But afterward the scale is just as insanely one sided.
If you had a 3 pound man and threw him really hard against
a 50,000 pound man, would you put money on the 3 pounder to topple the giant?

So you don't believe that a torpedo can sink a ship?
Or better still a match cannot sink a ship?
Yet you just ignored the very fact that I just posted to you, that NIST made millions of dollars to fool you.
Perhaps he didn't feel it was important. what are you trying to prove here besides giving your "opinion" again?
And that proved what?
Still waiting for your science proving A&E wrong?
How about an entirely new angle A 300 ton airline took out a 500,000 ton building?
Dang Sam that was good !
Really . If the torpedo is aluminum and armed only with cool burning kerosene, no sweat.
14 years later, you have never provided one shred of evidence that A&E science is wrong.

Steven Jones knew what he was doing. Remember, Steven Jones was the same person who convinced a number of truthers that this photo depicted molten steel.
