That's not what they say though.

Americans say "alooominum". They miss out the second "i" altogether.

Well that makes no sense whatsoever.

Did he explain why the random "i" is silent?

I think it's because the way we say it would sound daft in an American accent.

He did, but I cannot for the life of me remember what he said. Didn't convince me though, just makes no sense.
