Hi Don, Re: those pieces as being aluminum cladding from the exterior of the buildings. Yes, the video you provided clearly shows some of the metal debris to be the aluminum cladding on the exterior columns. You'll find the sectional view of the column construction method about 2/3 of the way down this page: tinyurl.com *** Additionally, if you haven't seen this particular forum thread before, I highly recommend it. It's got a lot of great detail on the actual construction techniques used on the WTC towers.

Don > 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 In my opinion, it makes no difference, in fact, no-one, except possibly the architects or civil engineers who built WTC, can be expected to know with any degree of accuracy what the metal was. What is important is that the shower of metallic fragments could only have resulted from a force which was able to disrupt their original structure, in other words, an explosion.
