I am sure the professor knows more than I about physics etc. But when it comes to molten metal from explosives rather than fire he is "full of it"

Take two High pressure gas pipeline segments. With explosives you can weld the two pieces of pipe together. (bell and spigot-explosives on the ovelapping pieces of pipe) there will be no dripping of the melted steel. Take a shaped charge and put a ring of it around the pipe. after detonation there will be a cut pipe but no discernible evidence of molten metal. The cut portion will have evaporated!

Take the average semi truck trailer. set the tires on fire! The metal will drip off of the trailer structure from the heat as the tires burn.

The presence of molten metal confirms the official report. It does not provide any evidence to support the BYU prof's hypothesis. Venkatesh Kodur PhD, P.Eng. of the Canadian National Research Council was a member of the official U.S. gov't team that produced the official report. Why would he lie?
