9/11 MOLTEN STEEL
9/11 MOLTEN STEEL
There were numerous reports from witnesses, first responders and Clean up crews that saw pools of Molten metal (steel) under wtc 1, wtc 2, and wtc 7. All of this evidence I am about to show you was ignored by NIST and the 9/11 Commission.
Since we know that Jet Fuel burns at a maximum temperature of ~260-315°C (500-599°F) in open air, Hydro Carbon fires burn at a maximum of 825ºC (1517ºF), and the melting point of typical structural steel is ~1510ºC (2750ºF). Then what caused the “pools of Molten steel” at the WTC?
FACT#4) Hundreds of firefighters and witness testimony to MOLTEN METAL was ignored by the 9/11 Commission. NIST’s John Gross denies the existence of Molten Metal. FEMA found “Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack” on the “Swiss Cheese” WTC 7 steel sample, ‘Limited Metallurgical Examination (FEMA C-13, Appendix C-6)’. Leslie Robertson claimed “As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running”. “Like you’re in a foundry” FDNY witnesses. Nano Thermite was found in WTC dust at Ground Zero. Peer reviewed in the Bentham Open Chemical Physics Journal (Steven Jones, Niels Harrit et al.). Research ‘Iron rich spheres’, ‘Red gray chips’. Jon Cole “The great thermate debate”. ‘Nano Tubes’. Research ‘Molten Steel’ and ‘Nano Thermite’.

“Results of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) remote sensing data and interpretations show the distribution and intensity of thermal hot spots in the area in and around the World Trade Center on September 16 and 23, 2001. Data collected on the 16th were processed, interpreted and released to emergency response teams on the 18th of September, 2001. The September 23 data were processed, interpreted and the results released on October 12, 2001. The images of the World Trade Center site show significant thermal hot spots on Sept. 16, 2001. By Sept. 23, 2001, most of the hot spots had cooled or the fires had been put out.”

The flow starts at 25 seconds and continues until 1:45 then the building collapses 15 seconds later. NIST states that the “flow lasted approximately four seconds.” This is a blatant lie since this video is proof that the flow lasted for nearly 1 minute and 20 seconds.
“NIST reported (NIST NCSTAR 1-5A) that just before 9:52 a.m., a bright spot appeared at the top of a window on the 80th floor of WTC 2, four windows removed from the east edge on the north face, followed by the flow of a glowing liquid. This flow lasted approximately four seconds before subsiding.”

MOLTEN STEEL WITNESSES
“You’d get down below and you’d see molten steel, molten steel, running down the channel rails, like you’re in a foundry, like lava.” – Philip Ruvolo, Captain, FDNY, documentary “Collateral Damages”, 2003
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCdRA09pztM

“As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running.”
“When we were down at the B1 level, one of the firefighters said, ‘I think you’d be interested in this,’ and they pulled off a big block of concrete and there was like a little river of steel flowing.”
“There were little rivers of molten steel flowing.”

Mark Loizeaux of Controlled Demolition Inc. told the American Free Press that “molten steel was found “three, four, and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed,”. In the basements of the World Trade Center were hotspots of “literally molten steel” more than a month after…found at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven levels…” He said that molten steel was also found at World Trade Center 7.
http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/cutter_charges_brought_down_wt.html
——
“Molten steel was encountered primarily during excavation of debris around the South Tower when large hydraulic excavators were digging trenches 2 to 4 meters deep into the compacted/burning debris pile. There are both video tape and still photos of the molten steel being “dipped” out by the buckets of excavators. I’m not sure where you can get a copy.
Sorry I cannot provide personal confirmation.

Peter Tully of Tully Construction was the contractor responsible for the eastern quadrant of the pile– the South Tower, WTC 4 and 5, and the 425,000 square foot underground mall. Tully granted an interview that proved most interesting:
‘Think of the thousands of file cabinets, computers, and telephones in those towers – I never saw one – everything was pulverized,’ he said. ‘Everything that was above grade – above the 6th and 7th floor – disintegrated…it was like an explosion.’ Tully Construction specializes in concrete. I asked Mr. Tully if he had ever seen concrete pulverized as it was at the WTC.
‘No – never,’ he said.
Tully said that there were hot spots where he observed ‘literally molten steel.’ Asked about what could have caused such intense heat, Tully said, ‘Think about the jet fuel.’

Construction steel has an extremely high melting point of about 2,800° Fahrenheit (1535° Celsius). Asked what could have caused such extreme heat, Tully said, “Think of the jet fuel.”

“He would go wandering off through the subterranean ruins , gazing intently through small spectacles at the columns and beams . . . with apparently only a vague awareness of the danger signs around him – the jolt of a collapse far below, the rattle of cascading debris, the ominous groaning of weakened structures overhead, or, in the early days, the streams of molten metal that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the foundation hole.” ~ William Langewiesche, speaking about Richard Garlock, structural engineer who worked under Leslie Robertson, who helped design and build the WTC, from the book ‘American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center’

A transcription of an audio interview of Ground Zero chaplain Herb Trimpe contains the following passage:
“When I was there, of course, the remnants of the towers were still standing. It looked like an enormous junkyard. A scrap metal yard, very similar to that. Except this was still burning. There was still fire. On the cold days, even in January, there was a noticeable difference between the temperature in the middle of the site than there was when you walked two blocks over on Broadway. You could actually feel the heat.
It took me a long time to realize it and I found myself actually one day wanting to get back. Why? Because I felt more comfortable. I realized it was actually warmer on site. The fires burned, up to 2,000 degrees, underground for quite a while before they actually got down to those areas and they cooled off.
I talked to many contractors and they said they actually saw molten metal trapped, beams had just totally had been melted because of the heat. So this was the kind of heat that was going on when those airplanes hit the upper floors. It was just demolishing heat.”

“The debris pile at Ground Zero was always tremendously hot. Thermal measurements taken by helicopter each day showed underground temperatures ranging from 400ºF to more than 2,800ºF. The surface was so hot that standing too long in one spot softened (and even melted) the soles of our safety shoes. Steel toes would often heat up and become intolerable. This heat was also a concern for the search-and-rescue dogs used at the site. Many were not outfitted with protective booties… “ —American Society of Safety Engineers, May, 2002.

“In mid-October, in the evening, when they would pull out a steel beam, the lower part would be glowing dull red, which indicates a temperature on the order of 500 to 600 °C.

This is because the fires were originally said to have “melted” the floors and columns. As Eagar said, “The temperature of the fire at the WTC was not unusual, and it was most definitely not capable of melting steel.” Jet fuel is essentially kerosene and would have served mainly to ignite very large, but not unusually hot, hydrocarbon fires.

The book American Ground, which contains detailed descriptions of conditions at Ground Zero, contains this passage:
“… or, in the early days, the streams of molten metal that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the foundation hole.”

“Finally, an unexplained cascade of molten metal from the northeast corner of the south tower just before it collapsed might have started when a floor carrying pieces of one of the jetliners began to sag and fail. The metal was probably molten aluminum from the plane and could have come through the top of an 80th floor window as the floor above gave way, Dr. Pitts said.”

”Perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation involves extremely thin bits of steel collected from the trade towers and from 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story high rise that also collapsed for unknown reasons. The steel apparently melted away, but no fire in any of the buildings was believed to be hot enough to meltsteel outright.”

“And all of the sudden he comes out of this little tunnel, screaming ‘Wait till you see what I found!’ And he pulls in ministers and officials, and there this cross is fully extended, melted together with the intense heat, the two beams were never initally part of the same structure. Heat literally melted them together. And the piece of metal draped over was literally molten metal that had fallen over one the arms.” ~ Major George Polarek, Salvation Army Incident Commander, aided in cleanup effort.

“You see how this debris is still smoking? That’s from the fires that are still burning. Eight weeks later we still got fires burning. Every now and then, one of the pieces of equipment will dig in, it will open up a small area and the oxygen will rush in, and you’ll get this plume of brown-black smoke coming up. That’s because that fire just got more oxygen. So these things are burning. I think at one point they were about 2,800 degrees.”

“Thermal imagery measures the progression of underground heat on about a weekly basis. These images are produced in 8-bit grayscale, with brightness levels of 0-255, 0 being the hottest and expressed as pure white. This is known as emissive data, or heat being given off from the structure from underlying hot debris or molten steel. Smoldering is yet undetectable, because potential fires appear cold until they are exposed to air.” ~ Maddalena Romano, “Mapping Ground Zero,” GeoNews, Hunter College Dept. of Geography, October 2001

WTC “METEORITE”
“It’s this fused element of steel, molten steel, and concrete, and all of these things all fused by the heat……Architects, engineers, people who work with steel, welders, have just never seen the level of destruction and the level of deformation of this material in our lives…” ~ Bart Voorsanger, Structural Engineer. “Relics from the rubble”
“Sometimes the steel could explode when the buried ends were exposed to the air. You saw some of the thickest steel I’ve ever seen bent like a pretzel, and you just couldn’t imagine the force that that took. The grapplers were pulling stuff out, big sections of iron that were literally on fire on the other end. They would hit the air and burst into flames, which was pretty spooky to see.” – Larry Keating, union ironworker, in “Metal of Honor”documentary

“I found it hard to believe that it bent because the size of it and how there’s no cracks in the iron. It’s bent without almost a single crack in it. It takes thousands of degrees to bend steel like this.”

SIMPLE FACTS OF TEMPERATURES
~1535ºC (2795ºF) – melting point of iron.
~1510ºC (2750ºF) – melting point of typical structural steel.
~825ºC (1517ºF) – maximum temperature of hydrocarbon fires burning in the atmosphere without pressurization or pre-heating (premixed fuel and air – blue flame). Diffuse flames burn far cooler. Oxygen-starved diffuse flames are cooler yet.The fires in the Towers were diffuse and well below 800ºC.
