Charles,
I can only raise the following points about the liquid seen pouring from the south tower's 80th floor NE corner.
1. The visual evidence is not conclusive as to what it is. It is taken from camera positions a quarter of a mile away.
2. The color balance of the camera/media is not /was not controlled. This renders and reading of temperature from color extremely unreliable.
3. The optics have to be considered. This includes the relationship between the sun - its elevation and the angle between the sun's rays, the liquid and the camera. It includes the time of day as there is more scattering and color distortion of the atmosphere in the early AM when the sun's light passes through more atmosphere... hence the red sunsets! This include diffraction etc. I am attaching a photo where water looks like copper!
4. There likely were some *impurities* in whatever was pouring from that corner. Why would it be "pure" when there was so much destruction on that corner?
5. There were reported huge back up lead acid battery power supplies located at that corner. No reason to not consider that the acid and the lead were involved and had ignited when the batteries arced. Electrical arcs produce very very high temps.
6. Shouldn't we consider that this was from an exit wound where a jet engine came flying out? Couldn't that have something to do with what was going on in that corner on that floor?
7. And finally if the liquid was related to an *engineered device* to attack the structure... why only one of 880 corners.. floor 80 NE corner?
I don't think anyone can determine from those videos what was pouring out of the towers... iron, lead, copper, aluminum or a combination. Those seeing this as evidence of thermite are wanting to see it as liquid iron or steel and not basing this observation on valid science.
