Creative Speculation

Certainly in some conditions present in the wreckage. (Steam+Heat, and the sulfur can come from sources like drywall, at certain times, from certain vendors. (Some recent Chinese-made drywall contained strontium sulfide, even. Ugh)) Erosion (as your source specified) does not automatically indicate melting. (at least not in the context of pure heat slagging beams, like a cutting torch.)

However.


I grant you the win here. You are asking tight enough, good enough questions that the conversation has now failed my cost-benefit/time consumption ratio. I cannot quickly find answers to your questions outside the NIST and FEMA and other official reports, reports which, I accept, you consider suspect. IF there is a conspiracy the nature of which you are asking about, than it must needs follow that the official reports are dodgy.

Going outside official reports, to materials that support my position, is an effort. It is incredibly time consuming to sift through all the, what my side labels 'truther' info to find what I consider unbiased and supporting evidence for my position. And I accept that from your viewpoint, my sources are biased.

In your objection about the FDR's, and possible double-agents working against hypothetical conspirators.. again, I cannot source a credible defense. However, in parting, I would suggest one thing; what you are asking for is impossible. If the government is in any way complicit, further investigation (as you point out NIST did not perform about certain things) would be pointless, because it would always exonerate the guilty. You would need a party to perform that investigation that is A) Truly independent, and B) Truly competent.

Most of the entities capable of the latter, are not within the confines of the former. Even sources I consider fairly unbiased, like MIT, cannot truly be called such. At least, I cannot expect you to accept them as such, even if I personally rate them as acceptable.

So, I cede this territory to you. You have asked questions I am not prepared to answer with solid sources, so my objections would be merely opinion. Opinion I feel is qualified at least on some materials issues (I happen to make things with steel, or... do I? You have no way to know, and that's fair) but cannot prove to your satisfaction.
