NIST never did any tests showing that heat and water could do that. Yours is an empty claim. Jonathan Cole did a test showing no corrosion/melting at all after heating with aluminum, with diesel fuel, with gypsum.
Corrosion does not create a stalagmite. Something created the stalagmite.
Gypsum board is sulfate, not sulfite. It's completely oxidized. It's inert. Neither NIST nor FEMA mentions gypsum as a possible candidate for the sulfur that caused the intergranular melting.
The evidence to support the claims of melted steel is the testimony of eyewitnesses. A defense attorney can not exclude eyewitness testimony that the defendant was seen carrying a pistol down the street 2 minutes before the murder simply on grounds that the gun can not be produced. Your reasoning is defective here.
Thermite can melt steel. Unless you are willing to call Captain Ruvolo a liar, you must accept that there was molten steel. Leslie Robertson said the same thing. Neither one of them was authorized to collect samples and do a chemical analysis. Dr. Jones claimed he analyzed a sample. It was assayed. Go ahead, prove he lied. Get your own sample, do your own assay. You're claiming no one saw melted steel. Provide evidence to support your claim.
It is unreasonable to think that a PhD science writer for the NYT would jeopardize his credibility by claiming he saw melted steel without making some effort to satisfy himself that it was in fact melted steel. If you think he was lying, go ahead and prove it.
Your demand for photos is like that of a desperate defense attorney telling the jury: "The prosecution does not have any photos to back up his claim that my client shot the decedent." An argument like that would get laughed out of court. It's unreasonable to expect photos. Photography at Ground Zero was suppressed.
The sources of melted steel are 250,000 tons of steel. A couple of dozen witnesses have spoken about it. 8 of them are PhDs. Your desperation is showing.
