Rather, you are just ignoring the information presented in the video to assume against it.
While falsers obviously can't say there was molten steel at the WTC complex, plenty of eye witness not only can but have said there was. You not only see some of those witness right in the video I linked, but even a block of molten steel and other rubble from the WTC complex,
at this timestamp, and plenty of other supporting evidence of this fact. You can also dig around and find much more conformation if you start relying on your intellect rather than expecting technology to accomplish such things for you while playing make-believe with the falsers.
Seriously dude, you must be delusional. There is no way that even highly trained people (like fire-fighters) are going to be able to tell one melting substance from another, especially when it comes to metals. Yes, they may have
said there was molten steel, but there are lots of inaccuracies in eye witness accounts, even on 9/11 itself. Just because a firefighter said it does not make it true.
In that same statement they say it was "like lava." So now are we supposed to believe there were hundreds of thousands of tons of molten rock flowing down the sides of the buildings? Absolutely not. These observations are correct -- there was a molten substance, but to start speculating as to what it was AND to rely on firefighters to make that determination, is just lunacy.
BeauJangles,
Assume that the statements of anyone are evidence. I think to say one can't tell molten steel from molten iron assumes facts not in evidence. You'd have to show that he was not able to make the claim with any authority. Not as an expert cuz lab tests are the best expert on that issue. AND, exactly what someone who'd seek to debunk should use. So... if I were a juror and you could not or did not disprove by testing the nature of the molten stuff and told me I should reject his statement cuz he may not know... I'd say I'll accept it cuz you didn't test it... the proof is in the best evidence and you didn't provide it to debunk his testimony. [not you but the folks who could have settled the issue]
What really is a problem as I see it is the absence of testing for Thermite/Thermate. That is the very first thing protocol indicates you test for in a crime scene fire investigation. But it was not tested for here? Not in anything I've read thus far, anyhow.
Like someone else said, we should have also tested the ground for the presence of Gremlins who could have chewed through the beams. There was and still remains no evidence of thermite being responsible for the fall of the WTC. As others have said, the byproducts of a thermite reaction at ground zero wouldn't be surprising and to that end, the USGS did a survey of the site and found the following elements:
Silicon, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Iron, Aluminum, Carbon (organic and carbonate), Sodium, Potassium, Titanium, Manganese, and Phosphorus. Four of these are flagged by Professor Jones as possible indicators for thermate (Sulfur, Potassium, Titanium, Manganese), yet the authors of this study don?t seem to require any special explanations for them at all.
According to the same study, these were found in levels consistent with their presence within the materials that made up the building.
As for your previous point, it IS evidence, but considering there is plenty of evidence to the contrary and that there is no way a fire fighter can tell the difference between a molten steel and another metallic substance, it is highly improbable that he is correct. He can't make the claim with any authority because firefighters aren't taught to identify molten substances. What you're doing is letting an eye-witness (who are notoriously inaccurate in even recounting the details of what happened to events that unfolded in front of their eyes) color your judgement.
He says one thing. Great. There is zero evidence to support it. So what do we do? Do we throw out all the science, the expert analysis, and the science involved and simply believe that firefighter Joe Blow, in the heat of the moment observed melted steel? No, we realize that, like his comment about lava, he saw something (metallic melted substance) and ASSUMED it was steel. It wasn't. It's a mistake anyone could make, but it doesn't prove anything and is pretty worthless as a piece of "evidence" that the official story is not correct.
