The stuff dripping out of the towers was either from the lead batteries on that floor, or from melted aluminum mixed with office contents. It's stupid to think it was molten steel.

If the whole premise behind these theories is based upon '9/11/01' being a conspiracy, you would have to 'prove that every single building was brought down by demolitions'. You cannot focus on one building and dismiss all the others. Events that took place on '9/11/01' happened all at once. Regardless about what building you are talking about, they were all brought down by terrorists on the same day. In order for the collapse of WTC 7 to be a unique event, the building would have had to have fallen on another day. It did not.
Second, does anyone have definitive proof that the Bush Administration did anything? Photos, documents, recordings, 'inside' eye witnesses, 'administrative' confessions, etc..? Unless you folks can bring some seriously damning evidence, without subjective interpretation of events, the whole premise behind these 9/11/01 conspiracy theories will be based upon nonsense. If someone were to bring the Bush Administration (or anyone) to court, I would hope they would have more than subjective analysis. Since none of the conspiracy theorists can provide tangible evidence, they will never be able to credibly challenge the 'official public record'. Regardless about how theorists interpret anomalies, their subjective analysis will never-ever debunk 'reality'.
Events on 9/11/01 were carried out by a group of terrorists.

Easy. The steel didn't turn to dust, and not all the concrete was pulverized. Most of the dust came from sheetrock and fireproofing.

Your a good little believer.
But You are most correct to say the events of sept 11 were carried out by terrorists.
They just happen to be very clever terrorists who are practised at creating terror.
And they just happen to hold all of the evidence in secure secret locations.
The way to expose who those terrorists are, and why they organised this mass murder that nobody has been brought to justice over yet, is to expose their methods, and not been a believer in anything, you clearly are a believer in what has been indoctrinated into you very very cleverly, thus You are biased .
You are thus trying as many to justify this faith based belief in what they are told as been the truth, instead of pushing what they have been told to breaking point.

Sure seems to be a lot of sheetrock and fireproofing dust for the top third of the building. This is where the top portion commits hari kari:

and, do you personally have pieces to prove definitively that your are correct?

Actually you are wrong and backwards. Because all three buildings fell during the same event, all you have to do is prove one of them was a controlled demolition and that would be enough to suspect every building on that day was demolished by controlled actions.

Re: the south tower tipping point
South Tower Tipping and Disintegration:
If the North Tower's antenna drop was anomalous from the perspective of the official theory, the South Tower's collapse contained an even stranger anomaly. The uppermost floors--above the level struck by the airplane--began tipping toward the corner most damaged by the impact. According to conservation-of-momentum laws, this block of approximately 34 floors should have fallen to the ground far outside the building's footprint. "However," observe Paul and Hoffman, "as the top then began to fall, the rotation decelerated. Then it reversed direction [even though the law of conservation of angular momentum states that a solid object in rotation will continue to rotate at the same speed unless acted on by a torque" (Paul and Hoffman, 2004, p. 34).
And then, in the words of Steven Jones, a physics professor at BYU, "this block turned mostly to powder in mid-air!" This disintegration stopped the tipping and allowed the uppermost floors to fall straight down into, or at least close to, the building's footprint. As Jones notes, this extremely strange behavior was one of many things that NIST was able to ignore by virtue of the fact that its analysis, in its own words, "does not actually include the structural behavior of the tower after the conditions for collapse initiation were reached" (NIST 2005, p. 80, n. 12). This is VERY convenient because it means that NIST did not have to answer Jones's question: "How can we understand this strange behavior without explosives?" (Jones, 2006).
This behavior is, however, not strange to experts in controlled demolition. Mark Loizeaux, the head of Controlled Demolition, Inc., has said:
"By differentially controlling the velocity of failure in different parts of the structure, you can make it walk, you can make it spin, you can make it dance . . . . We'll have structures start facing north and end up going to the north-west." (Else, 2004)

That is correct. It would not fall freely. It would fall at near free fall speeds. The falling floors impart momentum to the floors that they are tearing loose.
Originally posted by Limbo
Even with outer structure intact it still would not fall freely yeah? (Or am I missing something)?
OOPS!!!
The conservation of momentum just disappeared.
The energy lost needed to break the connections just disappeared.
This propaganda physics is just so cool.

Drop an anvil on a pine board supported at the ends. let me know how much the anvil slows down. Better yet, put your foot under it.

You are pretending that your subjective analysis means something. Withing a court of law, your theory is just a theory. Nothing more.
Unless you have more evidence, your theory will fall limp where it once stood.

It is easy to make such an argument without evidence. Unless you have something that definitively supports your argument, I am only going to call your 'theory' and 'pipe dream on drugs'.

Don't you remember that if you mix burning office contents with molten material that it will glow bright red? We're not talking about pure lead or pure aluminum. Many impurities changes the colors.
