18. The fires under the debris were hot enough to melt aluminum
... and there were thousands of tons of aluminum in the building. Yet, while several people reported seeing "molten steel," nobody reported any molten aluminum. There seems to be a simple explanation for that, which I'm sure I don't need to explain to an experienced critical thinker such as yourself.

We've had several people on this board post the picture of the orange-hot steel being picked up by an excavator, calling it "molten" steel, although obviously if it was molten you couldn't pick it up like that. How many of the witness reports of "molten" steel might have been similarly inaccurate, when they actual saw orange-hot steel?

And, yes, I too wish that Jones would come up with some explanation for the thermite-melted steel staying molten for many weeks. That would at least make the theory sound a little less wacky.
