"Have you ever tried to melt steel with Kerosene?"
No, but I would imagine that in an open air environment, it can't be done as the heat dissipates. However, where heat can be contained, such as inside the core of a building, temps can rise to levels that can metal steel. That is, with the right mixture of fuel and air.
The difference between the WTC and other burned steel buildings, of course, was not only the nature of the fuel, but it's concentration as well, not to mention the effect of one massive ignition (as opposed, say, to something that starts in a trash can).
My opinion, anyway. I don't suggest I truly know the facts any more than anyone else, but I was a fireman back in my college days. |
