Given these facts, it is very likely that the flow was due to light-alloy aluminum but also to the lead of the batteries, combined with other materials originating from the contents of the 81st floor. This combination of materials, after the failure of the floor, poured onto the 80th floor and from there flowed out from the building face. In my opinion, the weight of the batteries and the weakening caused by the fire on the 80th floor (which compromised the structural capacity of the overlying floor trusses) had an important role in the failure of the 81st floor.

Would that explain the huge gob of metal found in the basement of the WTC?
Its funny how this comes out now. It still dosen't explain how those beams were cut at a angle.
But batteries have a warning don't expose to heat or flame it may leak or expode.
I'm not convinced that those batteries caused the collape. I still believe they were pulled by Silverstien.
