I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

A wise policy. I checked with ASCE:

Good work, Panoply_Prefect.

Thermite-related question: Does molten aluminum (when poured) look like the stuff pouring out of the south tower?

No

 

[Wolrab]

No

How do you handwave away explain all the pictures of aluminum glowing orange?

 

[Oystein]

No

I am sure you have gibven your answer a lot of consideration like

- did you account for all aluminium alloys that were used on a Boeing 767, or the construction of the Twin Towers, or the things therein?
- did you take into account any aluminium oxides?
- did you take into account any materials that might be mixed into the flow, such a glass from broken windows, or broken concrete or gypsum?

Do we have an experiment that can duplicate what we saw flowing out of the south tower? Has anyone done that before?

What exactly do you want to have duplicated? A greyish liquid mass dropping such and such distance, glowing some kind of orange for part of the way?

Or do you want this done from a building on fire that contains a shredded Boing 767?

I am sure it would not be hard to duplicate the appearance of such a flow, but that would never proof you got the right materials. In the same way, failure to duplicate the appearance with some kind of aluminium does not mean it can't be some other alloy or composite flow.

I think an experiment showing that a flow of orange-ish stuff can be produced would be good evidence showing that it could be something other than what the truthers claim.

It doesn't look "greyish" to me. Can the camera make something that is grey look orange?

I think it would be interesting if all possible materials were gathered that might have been in the flow of stuff and then see if we can duplicate what we saw.

The colour that you notice at once and that makes the flow stick out is of course the orangish glow, but if you follow the flow down in its fall, when the glowing ends, it seems to be a bright greyish or silvery substance.

Even if you found a mix of things that look similar (I am sure that really would not be hard to do, only takes some resilience), it would not prove much.
