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!
How are you sure it is pouring (as in a liquid) and not piece after piece falling? If a pile of burning rubble tips over and it falls out of the window (like you would turn over a burning bonfire of sorts), would it look different than what is seen on the video?
