Anyone who know me, knows me as a skeptic, but I can't seem to dig up anything on this point. There seems to be a bright yellow colored substance pouring from the gash in the tower. It's not steel, I know that. But the bright yellow color (if it is metal) indicates a REALLY high temperature.
And I can't think of anything it appears to be BUT metal. I suggested it was airplane aluminum, which melts at a lower temperature. But what about the color?
Help! |
Could it be aluminum from some furniture? That's normally a lower grade of metal and may have a lower melting point too. Just a thought.
