A "Molten Metal" 9/11 Photo - Is Just Burning Paper

So it looks like AE911Truth has been incorrectly using another photos for many years. I noticed this by accident when looking at a similar photo posted yesterday for the anniversary of 9/11:


I saw the above (right) 9/11 thumbnail image on the NBC News home page, and it immediately reminded me of this image on an AE911 web page. https://www.ae911truth.org/evidence.../442-witnesses-of-molten-metal-at-ground-zero (http://archive.is/2BsNB)




Here's the AE911 image:


Then this coinicidence prompted me to do a Yandex image search^, which led me to a better quality version, the original by Alan Chin, https://www.readingthepictures.org/2011/09/pushpins-on-a-calendar/ (http://archive.is/mtyWY)

Subtitled "Approximately 11AM, Broadway and Liberty

They are probably the same collection of column cladding and paper taken at slightly different times.

I wonder how many "suspicious" photos might be solved if only we were able to example all the photos that are held in private collections.

 

Doing an overlay of the two images, the orange one is slightly skewed. So the simplest explanation for the original bad image is that it was photographed from a book — this also accounts for the bad white balance.

 

Burning something, and probably paper, given that it's surrounded by paper. Me too. I discussed it five years ago, even in the orange photo there's enough info to dismiss the "molten metal" claim.

It's odd that AE911T use this as the headline image to illustrate their page on the topic.
