In regards to number 18. Three things.

First, just like the Kennedy Assination, no one wants to believe that a few guys with knives took down those buildings.

Second, Jet-A (fuel in Airliners) is not Diesel. Jet-A is one of the most explosive and flamable substances on earth and is more closely related to Kerosene. The heat generated from a Jet-A fire after a plane crash has been known to melt aircraft. This is in the open, not in an enclosed space like the WTC where the heat was trapped and focused.

Third, These two planes were nearly fully loaded with fuel. Nearly 10,860 gallons. I have a hard time believing that all of this would have burned up in the time he quotes.
