YouTube user CameraPlanetArchive uploaded the “full” version (2:49 long) on April 05, 2006 (once also on Google video). An edited version appeared September 10, 2007– though it didn’t replace the older one. It just didn’t show the molten metal at the beginning and the last minute of aftermath.
See the molten metal drip stabilized (and/or the collapse itself using VirtualDub deshaker filter). See the dripping from another angle in better quality (Alfie Alvarado on History Channel). Investigate yourself theories on the orange-yellow material’s composition with a look at 1.) NIST faq no. 11, 2.) Dr. Frank Greening’s paper, 3.) the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) theory about the lead batteries known to exist on floor 81… which leads to 4.) the possibility of dislodged thermite – superthermite or nanothermite – from when the plane hit, melting structural steel where the building first failed. WHATEVER your opinion on this pre-collapse event, it is undeniable that molten steel was recovered from Ground Zero. And burning jet fuel doesn’t melt steel any more than office fires do.
NIST files include one terrible version at the wtcdata.nist.gov website (click Continue to agree to terms then follow this link again, if necessary). It’s 720×480 with only 320×240 worth of image surrounded by black border, with poor resolution… probably taken from old Google flash video and converted to avi. (Also in 911datasets.org FOIA release 28, 42A0307 – G28D12 in similar low res.)
