Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.

    I’m no expert by any means. Looking up briefly I see that jet turbines can get up to around 2000C/3500F give or take. Steel beam melting point is anywhere from 1375C+.

    Fair enough.

    But what about if jet fuel is not in a turbine? What if it’s simply burning?

    A pool fire (spill/open liquid fire) of jet fuel burns between 800C-1100C. Not enough to melt a standard beam.

    The other point was that the pancake of the building was from the bottom, not from the top, where the fire would be.
