With the plane positioned somewhere in the middle of the building, blanketed in debris and with no route for heat to escape, the temperature would have rapidly escalated, reaching 660 degrees Celsius (1,220 degrees Fahrenheit), the melting point of aluminum of which there was 30 tons in each plane fuselage within an hour. The molten aluminum would then have heated up further to between 800 and 850 C (1,470 and 1,560 F). "Then molten aluminum becomes [as liquid as] water and has so much heat that it will flow through cracks in the floor and down to the next floor," Simensen explained in an email. There was an automatic sprinkler system installed in each ceiling, and it was filled with water. "When huge amount of molten aluminum gets in contact with water, a fierce exothermic reaction will take place, enormous amount of hydrogen is formed and the temperature is locally raised to 1,200 to 1,500 C," or 2,200 to 2,700 F.

But were they explosions, or were they expansions?You're probably right, but for those who believe because the explosion sounds couldn't be explained, it might bring them back around.

Why do you hate to say that?I hate to say this, but 90% of the population probably doesn't remember/know enough chemistry to understand that.

Because I'm depressed that I actually believe most people don't understand how mixing liquid aluminum and liquid H2O would result in a highly exothermic reaction that results in increased gaseous hydrogen in the environment.
Some Internet scientists like to think there is.What is an explosion but a rapid expansion? Is there a difference?
You'd think those scientists who designed those two buildings would have thought of that, wouldn't you?Because I'm depressed that I actually believe most people don't understand how mixing liquid aluminum and liquid H2O would result in a highly exothermic reaction that results in increased gaseous hydrogen in the environment.

Hey -- you're the one depressed about it, not I.Why the heck would they have ever thought of that? You honestly think the engineers should have anticipated terrorists slamming aluminum planes into the side of their towers? Really?

Not really -- you don't even know what I'm getting at, do you?That's a pathetic response. Care to elaborate?
