Roberts: What you do see in that corner of the building where the material is leaking out of the building, and flowing quite a ways down before, uh, before it dissipates.
Bermas: makes it quite a ways down.
Roberts: Sure, many floors. Uh, I've held some of that in my hand, actually, after it solidified. It's aluminum.
Bermas: How would you have held molten metal that you could see at the World Trade Center, in your hands?
Roberts: Because people collected these things because they were fairly extraordinary –
Bermas: But that's after the fact, Mark, you have –
Roberts: You have the characteristics –
Bermas: You can't say all that was falling out of the World Trade Center.
Roberts: Well, that's where the people picked it up.
Bermas: Well, I'm not saying it wasn't at the World Trade Center. But you can't say that's the molten metal that's pouring out.
Roberts: You can't say for sure. But what they had done is cooled in mid-air. [makes stretching gesture with hands] Uh, if you've ever been to a volcano, and it shoots out–
Bermas: See, that's what upset me, though. Because just like you were saying, it made it down many, many floors, and it didn't cool down. You could actually see that stream of molten metal.
Roberts: But eventually, but eventually it does.
Bermas: Well, I mean, they're 110-story buildings, Mark.
Roberts: But here's the thing:
[Roberts produces two photos, stills from Loose Change, illustrating the inward bowing of the east wall of WTC 2 as its collapse begins.]
Roberts: Here's a photo from your video.
Bermas: That's the bowing in that you're talking about. I don't disagree–
Roiberts: This is actually the collapse.
Avery: We don't disagree.
Bermas: –that the thing could have tipped over, and at that impact point, fallen. I don't disagree with that, but I disagree with the fact that it was a freefall pancake collapse within its own footprint.
