A combination of heated-up aircraft components and water could have caused the Twin Towers to collapse on 9/11, according to the latest theory put forward.
Immediately prior to the loss of the World Trade Centre's towers in New York, those present in the area reported hearing powerful noise surge from within. These, says SINTEF's Doctor Christian Simensen, might be the greatest clue to why the towers fell in the way they did.
Doctor Simensen, representing Scandinavia's most eminent independent research group, presented his views at a materials technology event held in San Diego, California.
Previous twin towers collapse theories have followed a different chain of events, suggesting that the impact of the two aircraft caused a structural heat overload to the buildings themselves. Simensen thinks a chemical reaction occurred when parts of the airliners met with water cascading from the buildings' in-built sprinklers.
That reaction's borne out by findings from earlier incidents, as detailed in a piece published by Aluminium International Today.
The attack on the Twin Towers claimed the lives of close to 3,000 people, when insurgents working for Al Qaeda took over a pair of commercial airliners and directed them towards the New York skyline. Even though the movement of each aircraft, through the walls of WTC1 and WTC2, produced huge swells of flame and swathes of smoke, observers were still surprised when the structures came tumbling down.
"Both scientific experiments and 250 reported disasters suffered by the aluminium industry have shown that the combination of molten aluminium and water releases enormous explosions", Simensen explained, in his new 9/11 towers theory ."I regard it as extremely likely that it was these explosions that made the skyscrapers collapse by tearing out part of the internal structure, and that this caused the uppermost floors of the buildings to fall and crush the lower parts.
"In other words, I believe that these were the explosions that were heard by people in the vicinity and that have since given life to the conspiracy theories that explosives had been placed in the skyscrapers."
Earlier this month, the world marked 9/11's tenth anniversary. Just days before, security was boosted in the major US cities, in response to a reported 2011 US terror threat.
