It's too bad there isn't anything in the public domain of a similar sort that would pin point the actual temperatures at the time the fires were going before the collapses. Rattling around the Internet, I've seen "expert" opinions that range from 350C to 1500C depending on the opinion.fe.pennnet.com From some of the articles I looked at, it does appear the fires were going for quite some time. It's still hard for me to figure out how that's possible, but all the reports I've seen seem to agree on that point. I've also seen a few eye witness accounts reporting being able to smell kerosene clear down to the sub basement levels. There aren't too many things that will stink up an area as bad as kerosene, so that part is probably believable, but I haven't seen anything which would suggest there were heavy concentrations any place other than the impact points.
