How is it clear that the dust clouds are not gysum, concrete, and insulation?
Or, some of the fuel is consumed in the explosion and some is not. Just like some cards end face up when you drop them and some end face down. The unconsumed fuel remains in its liquid state, falls through the elevator shaft as liquids are want to do and is ignited.
Really, you must get embarassed after awhile.
Why is the top part of that cloud black?

It is clear to anyone capable of critical thought. The cloud is about three times the size of the part of the building that's committing hari kari:
I would think that you know what needs to be done to properly atomize liquid fuel for complete combustion. When you do it with an industrial burner, even if everything is okay with the burner, you have to have a clear area for combustion to occur. If any impingement occurs, the fuel collects on what it strikes and in most cases, does not burn completely. I believe that there was plenty of things for any spray to strike in that building. I say spray, because only a small percentage of the fuel was atomized, IMO.

It is possible for thousands of gallons of jet fuel to run down a wide open hole in a floor?
In most people's world it is.
Lets see...so the fuel goes from being in the fuel tanks to becoming airborne and atomized, and then it runs straight for an elevator and falls 1000 feet before igniting.
In the cartoon world most Americans live in, this is what passes as reality.

Yes, it's just like a deck of cards. How did the card...er... the fuel become "atomized" and then reconvene near the elevators?
How do you calculate how much of the fuel didn't ignite?

Is it possible that it is smoke? Is it at all possible that some of that 'dust' could be smoke too?
Also, looking at the edges of that 'dust' cloud, I notice that some of the 'dust' particles seem to be kind of large. Large, as in as big as MY HOUSE large.
Giant dust particles?

Who said it all had to first become atomized and then reconstituted? Some atomized, some remained liquid. Its pretty simple stuff.

I didn't. Don't have to.
Earlier, the question was asked, "where did all the steel go?"
house-sized chunks of STEEL ejected

There we have it, out and down to the ground.

I didn't ask that.
I didn't say that you did.
Gravitor did, I believe.

To the best of my knowledge, the laws of physics are always applicable in any observable moment. The problem I have seen is that people like to use the word physics and the word impossible and then assume they are correct. Until a physical experiment is done proving that it can't happen, then it probably did, especially since mathematicians and engineers have crunched the numbers quite a few times, and it all seems to work out. I've seen people here like to ignore math and engineers who don't agree with them. Instead, I see A&E for 9/11 Truth being toted, who last I checked still think that the dust cloud was pyroclastic, even though it didn't burn people, or paper, or anything really. It just caused lung issues and cancer because of it being thick dust and partially Asbestos.

Too bad tangible evidence was shipped out immediately as to not study, prove, or disprove said laws of physics. The laws of probability in this case is all we have to rely on. Hmmm... let's see, 2 planes, 2 towers... both a bullseye hit with inexperienced (terrorist) pilots at best! Never before in the history of man has a building collapsed caused by a plane hitting it. Oh yea don't forget about pickin up the spare (building 7) with no plane. Talk about astronomical odds.

All the time keeping in mind what would happen to a large body of liquid travelling 500 miles per hour and slamming a building, not POURED down the elevator shafts with a funnel. Also, those shafts were completely sealed shut...Do I have to keep going?
Sealed shut ? Where?
There were several freight and passenger elevators which ran the entire lenght of the building
Also elevator shafts were lined not with concrete, but with sheet rock. An error which has been corrected in the new building where some 2 1/2 ft of concrete line the elevator shafts
Here is complete link to witnesses reporting smelling Kerosene (aka jet fuel), seeing fire shoot from elevators and burn victims in the lobby from the fire coming out

I agree that the remnants of the tower were not handled in the best way they could have been, but you are still arguing from ignorance. You are saying, "We don't know, therefore the conspiracy is correct."
And for the record, building 7 was hit by debris from the North tower and was physically damaged by it, as visible in pictures and as evidenced by testimony from the firefighters who were there and observed the building as it burned, determining that it was going to collapse because it was showing all the warning signs. I understand that facts like that are too much for some people to handle, but at least think about it for a moment.

I think you're exaggerating the strength of a steel beam, and entirely under-representing the heat of even a normal office fire. Fire is never "cool." If it's burning, it's hot.
Temperatures of objects
It is common to find that investigators assume that an object next to a flame of a certain temperature will also be of that same temperature. This is, of course, untrue. If a flame is exchanging heat with a object which was initially at room temperature, it will take a finite amount of time for that object to rise to a temperature which is 'close' to that of the flame. Exactly how long it will take for it to rise to a certain value is the subject for the study of heat transfer. Heat transfer is usually presented to engineering students over several semesters of university classes, so it should be clear that simple rules-of-thumb would not be expected. Here, we will merely point out that the rate at which target objects heat up is largely governed by their thermal conductivity, density, and size. Small, low-density, low-conductivity objects will heat up much faster than massive, heavy-weight ones.
Overall, I think some of these arguments are rather silly.
