Raymond > What is far more important in my mind is the unresolved issue of the metallurgical anomaly of melted A36 structural steel

Yes, I am aware that there were eutectic abnormalities which indicate that temperatures greater than those achievable by kerosing burning in a confined space were present. Also, I believe pools of molten steel were found in the basements. So I'm fully in agreement that what took place during the collapse of the buildings was "more than meets the eye". However, I do wonder about the timing mechanism for a complicated series of explosions or thermite ignitions. In "normal" demolitions, wires are run all over the place which, clearly, was impossible at the WTC. So, one imagines that some form of radio control must have been used.
