Listen...many things would point to another suspect. Some other suspect. For example AQ could not have gotten explosives in the building at least not nearly enough to bring both down. Points to someone else. Most of it points to something AQ could not have done.
AQ is not accused of exploding the buildings.
They are accused of hijacking and crashing planes and murdering people.
The prosecution presents loads and loads of evidence for that.
None of that has anything to do with building collapses. The hijackers were long dead when any buildings collapsed.
So you need to explain how molten metal relieves AQ of the culpability for hijacking and crashing planes!
Also, if you believe someone else rigged the towers, you need to tell the jury why sightings of supposed molten metal are reasonably explained by that. In other words:
- You must present a reasonable theory
- You must prove your claims to be true
You have utterly failed on both points.
In addition, the jury wants to hear who your suspects are (names!) and what their motives were! And some evidence for that, too.
All this of course is not a quest for reasonable doubt of the prosecution's case, as your layed out in your OP, but rather an attempt to get a different prosecution.
In term of the puffs cole found a pretty explanation.
So did NIST: Many pretty explanations all over NCSTAR 1-5A. All of these have one advantage over Cole's: Their causes, such as doors, hot gases, floor slabs, ceiling tiles etc., are
known to have been present in the building. Cole presents as explanation something that is NOT known to have been present, and has an extremely low initial probability of being present. Amid such odds, Cole better PROVE his explanation rests on reality. He hasn't done that. Therefore, the REASONABLE conclusion is to dismiss Cole, and assigne significant probability to the common explanations NIST suggests for these puffs.
