That video about 9/11 molten steel finally got me questioning everything

I watched this documentary where a metallurgist broke down why the steel beams turned to molten puddles at ground zero, and he claimed jet fuel couldn't burn hot enough for that. It's got me second-guessing the whole official story I've just accepted for twenty years. Has anyone else looked into this and found a solid debunk or is there really something fishy going on?

Man I had the exact same experience. I watched that forensic guys breakdown of the molten metal and it blew my mind too. The government report says steel can't melt like that without some serious accelerant, yet they never explain where the heat came from. You seen any of those videos of the beams just pouring out like lava? Creeps me out every time.

A buddy of mine from back in the day, he's a welder, spent years working on high rise frames. He told me once he got called to look at some steel from a burned out factory, and even with 2000 degree gas torches, he couldn't get the beams to puddle like that. Said the video of the ground zero steel looked like something you'd see in a foundry, not from a fire. He's not the conspiracy type, just a guy who knows his metal, and he was genuinely spooked by it. He said the only way he could replicate that kind of melt was with thermite or something similar, not from burning office furniture. Your mileage may vary, but his take was that something wasn't adding up.

I questioned everything" is a good way to put it, because once you start digging, the rabbit hole gets deep fast. That metallurgist has a point about the steel melting at temperatures way beyond what jet fuel can reach, even with the office fires added in. What really got me thinking was how the buildings came down straight through their own path - like a controlled demolition, not a pancake collapse from a plane hitting the side. I've read through the official NIST report and it's full of references to things like "pancaking" but they never really explain how steel got that hot in pockets without some kind of accelerant. The fact that no major steel frame building has collapsed from fire before or since that day makes it hard to just write off as a freak accident. I'm not saying I've got a rock solid alternative theory, but I do think there's more to the story than what the news told us back then.
