70. I don't need to prove it was aluminium.

I saw the footage and the pictures. I agree it was molten metal. There are metals in the building in the range of tens of thousands of tons that could be reasonably expected to produce such a result. So I make no claim as to what metal it was.

If you wish to claim it was specifically steel, you need to prove it.

There is a sample of molten metal that survived, and is part of the memorial. There was a sheared off steel cross-beam, in the shape of, literally a cross. It has what was molten metal draped across it, cooled in a form like a cloth. A rather pleasing effect. Anyway the sheared off steel beams don't exhibit any signs of having been melted. The beams are clearly steel, as they are rust-orange. The 'draped' metal, is not. It's still silvery-grey. If it were steel, it should be rusted too.

There are some beams that exhibited signs of erosion. I saw none that were literally liquefied to molten steel. Not one. I won't say it's impossible that it could have happened, but I haven't seen it.

It remains to those who claim the unusual scenario of molten steel, to prove it. Burden of proof goes to the extraordinary claim.
