Some
people have suggested that the Jet fuel was the source
of the molten copper or molten steel seen in the below
image.
9:53.51am,
11th Sept 2001 - Molten Metal at WTC 2

The
problem with this assumption is that this photograph
was taken around 1 hour later than the initial
impacts. According to NIST, the jet fuel would have
burnt off within minutes, as would be expected. This
would only leave secondary fires from a basic oxygen
deficient office fire.
"The
jet fuel, which ignited the fires, was mostly consumed
within the first few minutes after impact. The fires
that burned for almost the entire time that the buildings
remained standing were due mainly
to burning building contents and, to a lesser
extent, aircraft contents, not
jet fuel."

If
we now examine the video footage of this event, we will
observe that it was shot moments before the collapse
of the North Tower at 10:05am.
Thus,
we have recorded footage of molten copper or molten
steel being produced over a sustained period between
9:53am and 10:05am, 11th September 2001 at the South
Tower (WTC 2). That's a full 12 minutes at temperatures
exceeding 1080C and, as we have seen, totally unrelated
to the jet fuel.
The
isolated nature of this event would also indicate this
to be a highly localised source of additional heat,
strengthening the arguement for an accelerant.
