How could the fuel velocity go down to zero to fall down the middle of the shaft?
But if fuel flowed down the sides of the shaft wouldn't it be on fire? How long would it take to reach the lobby?

there should be another image of this hole that's been documented.
It appears to be a shadow from the explosive cloud above.

It is not a hole, It's smoke.

OK, did the smoke come out a broken window?

Elevators 6, 7 and 50 ran all the way from the top of the building to the basement.
Also the elevator shafts were not sealed off from one another on the mechanical floors.
Elevator 6, 7 and 50 are marked on the image below.
The mechanical floors didn't have windows, they had vents.

In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

So your contention is that the fuel traveled down one or more of shafts 6,7 and/or 50? Or was it down one or more the other shafts shown on the right of this image?
Also if the shafts were not sealed of from each other, why does it 'blow out' on the mechanical floor?
The size of the aircraft seems too big in relation to the building by the way. My opinion here.
So there must have been a elevator door open and/or blown out on this type of floor pictured? And maybe a large hallway directly from the lift to the exterior?

Maybe Bernouli would tell you about Daltons law of partial pressures? When you're trying to make people believe something as ridiculous as you are, another scientist might help.
Why would I? My statement has the same amount of credibility as yours, I just wanted you to have to look it up. Worked too, didn't it?

Oh this ought to be interesting.
Please explain to us how Daltons law of partial pressures would keep jet fuel from entering the elevator shafts.

Now there was a 'debunker' trying to argue the other day that Jimmy Grillo was in the Marriott Hotel
Marriott World Trade Center
Firefighters used the lobby as the staging area,
Battalion Chief Edward Henry and I then entered the lobby of the Marriott Hotel which is situated at the foot of both towers. This became a staging area where we were assigned to go to the 75th floor of the North Tower.
He rushed to the staging area in the Marriott hotel between the Twin Towers, where 100 firefighters and rescue workers were waiting for assignments.

even though 'debunkers' like to produce a dubious link stating Ladder 24 were in the Marriott Hotel.
My name is Tyrone Johnson, firefighter first grade, assigned to Ladder 24.......
Then maybe about five, ten minutes later, we were ordered to go into the Marriott Hotel. At that time the company and three other companies in front of us went inside the Marriott Hotel......
We went to the Marriott. We got inside the lobby. The chief told us take your gear off, relax, until you find out what you want us to do.
Maybe 10 or 15 minutes later he gave us the command put the gear on because we're getting ready to head upstairs. There were about three companies in front of us. We were the last company to go up the steps. Maybe about five minutes into the process of going up the steps, that's when the building collapsed on us.
James Duffy. CHIEF CONGIUSTA: Firefighter third of
Ladder 24 of the New York City Fire Department....
We were told to report to the south tower, but the only way to get to the south tower -- you couldn't walk down Liberty Street to get into the main entrance because of the jumpers and the falling debris, so we had to go in through the corner entrance of the Marriott, which is on West and Liberty. We went in there......
over there right next to us. 22 Truck was in the lobby also. Then we were just waiting to go into the south tower. As we were waiting, we looked up and all I saw was -- I heard this huge noise, and I saw hundreds and hundreds of people running towards us. They were running out of the south tower to the Marriott, to the lobby.
We just turned. We started to like run also. We got about ten feet before getting blown across the lobby. We got blown across the lobby, just got covered with debris.
Q. When either tower came down, did you have any advanced warning?
A. Oh, no. I didn't know what it was when we were inside. I didn't know the building had collapsed, actually. I thought it was a bomb. I thought a bomb had gone off. That's why I really didn't know until after.
Q. Afterwards?
A. Yeah, that that's when it came down. I wasn't expecting that. I thought it was a bomb or something that went off.
Q. Glad you made it.
A. Yeah.
Q. Thanks for the interview.
My Story, September 11, 2001
Once we reached the doorway I thanked God that we had made it and then entered the hotel lobby. There was a sea of firefighters all waiting their turn to start heading up. We knew we had to wait a while, so we loosened our coats and put down all our gear so we wouldn't overheat. While we waited, I noticed Jimmy Grillo, a member of our company, holding a five-gallon bottle of water, filling up cups with water so we would all be properly hydrated. Standing by, just waiting for our turn, I also noticed a bank of pay phones on the lobby wall. The lieutenant and I approached the phones trying to get a working line. We had a dial tone but all the circuits were busy. I even attempted to use my cell phone to get in touch with my family, but that failed. I was concerned about how much they must be worrying about me.
It was our turn to go up.
We started heading to the stairwell when this dark, overpowering shadow started heading toward us. It seemed as if it was in slow motion. People were yelling to run. My first instinct was to run away from the shadow thinking another plane must be coming in. I made a turn toward another lobby, trying to get away from the front of the building. Then I felt this force, like being in a massive wind tunnel. Firefighters were getting tossed around like rag dolls. I found myself being blown across the floor landing into what appeared to be a closet. The South Tower was collapsing.
