16. So? Jet fuel is highly explosive

doesn't mean jet fuel has the ability to cause steel buildings to implode and collapse cleanly nearly into their own footprint. only a planned demolition with strategically placed demolition devices can do that.

doesn't matter what the source is, random explosions of any kind do not cause steel buildings to collapse. if they did NIST would have gladly jumped on this aluminum theory from the start. anything that could provide a good sound non-CD explanation for the collapses, and that could silence the loud criticism coming from a large segment of the scientific community, I'm sure NIST would have been sure to jump on quickly. but they never did. afaik they never promoted any such theory.
