On the shiny pieces of steel seen in this photo:

digitaljournalist.org

I was looking through some different sites last night and found one that described those pieces as being aluminum cladding from the exterior of the buildings. One clip I looked at showed those pieces sailing more than were falling, as if they were quite light.

At this point I'm questioning my interpretation of the photos in that what I originally thought to be parts of the box columns, may actually be what amounts to aluminum siding.

Here's the clip:

Since it's an item I included in the topic post, it's something I should fix if it's wrong. Comments, suggestions?.

Ray > This would be consistent with the sort of steel components that went into the structure.

I'm sure that's true.

> I don't have a good scientific explanation for the pulverization that occurred on 9/11 in those three buildings

WTC7 appeared to come down in the "standard" way ie its "box-like" structure appeared intact while it fell, indicating that most explosive charges must have been in the base of the building. WTC1 and 2 came down in a completely different way where the pictures show enormous explosions taking place in the structure itself.

> This pulverization cannot be explained by mere gravitational forces

That's why I say it's another "smoking gun". The only force I can think of which can cause it is that from an explosive -- and a big one, at that.

> Sadly, we've already seen what happened when an Underwriter's Laboratory manager attempted to alert a NIST manager that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark

We know that -- and that's why we spend our time bleating at chat groups like this one! As if we could do anything about it.
