Let's put this into some perspective. Let's see how this would play in court.
Is is possible to conclusively identify a molten metal from a photograph or eyewitness account?
No.
Do banks, as a matter of course, have large battery backups to keep their computers running in the case of a blackout?
Yes.
Was there a large bank on the floor where this molten material was noted?
Yes.
Do the plans note that space was occupied by "UPS"?
Yes.
Is UPS a common acronym for "Uninterruptible Power Supply"?
Yes.
Are most large battery arrays made from lead-acid batteries?
Yes.
Would these batteries melt and short out when exposed to an uncontrolled office fire?
Yes.
What would that look like?
Electric arcing, a white-colored intensely bright fire, some explosions due to hydrogen gas from the batteries.
If a large bank of these, sufficient to provide power for a large bank's computer system were exposed to such a fire with temperatures normally associated with such fires, describe what would happen to the battery array.
The liquids in the battery, a strong lead-acid would start to heat and give off hydrogen gas in large amounts, leading to a series of explosions sounding much like sequential gun fire. As the fire progressed, the casings would melt, and a large amount of pure molten lead from the interior anodic and cathodic plates would start running down to the floor ac ulating in a large puddle.
Would this be consistant with eyewitness accounts?
Yes.
Would this puddle then flow, like any liquid, seeking the lowest point due to gravity?
Yes.

Now enter the truther to the stand.
You have shown it is possible to cut vertical columns using thermite, and contend that "super-thermite" was used to cut columns, leading to the collapse of these buildings.
How much super-thermite would be required?
I don't know.
Can you tell me if it was available in the large quan ies in 2001?
No.
Your method for cutting vertical columns requires some pretty specific equipment, the "cutters" from the video that are not completely destroyed in the process. Do you have any pictures of these cutters being found at ground zero afterwards?
No.
Do you have any eyewitness testimony from the professional firefighters, or steelworkers noting the existance of these devices when they combed over the area intensively in the period after the collapse?
No.
Would these cutters have been completely destroyed in the process?
No.
How many cutters would have been required to collapse the building in the manner you suggested?
Hundreds, if not thousands.
To place these hundreds or thousands of devices, would access to the structural members be required?
Yes.
What would that have entailed?
Cutting through a lot of existing interior walls.
Would this have created some pretty notable disruptions to the crowded offices where this activity was taking place?
Yes.
Do you have any testimony or accounts of this happening?
No.
How much labor would have been required to place these cutters in sufficient numbers to implode the buildings in the manner you propose?
Thousands of man-hours.
Do you have any witnesses that describe such large amounts of unusual activity?
No.
You say that the material falling from the 80th floor is molten steel from this process. Is it possible to conclusively determine the composition of a molten metal from pictures or video?
No.
You have an eyewitness claiming it was "molten steel". Did he test the pools of molten metal for chemical composition?
No.
How did he arrive at the conclusion that it was molten steel?
He looked at it.
How is that different from looking at a picture of molten metal and trying to determine what kind of metal it is?
It isn't.
If the material was molten steel, and you theorize that almost all the other floors had such devices all melting steel at the same time, would there be other pools or streams of material?
Yes.
Were there any other places where such streams of material were witnessed?
No.
So the only stream of molten material witnesses just happened to be in the general area of a large array of lead-acid batteries?
Yes.
No further questions.
