What Melted the Steel on 911?

There was molten steel in the debris of 911.

Molten steel from 911.

Is it from the burning jet fuel? No, because:

Fact 1: Construction-grade steel melts at 2795°F. (Source)

Fact 2: The maximum temperature that can be generated from burning jet fuel, under ideal conditions, is 1796°F, and the “open air burning” temperature of jet fuel (as in the 911 towers) is much lower, only 500-599°F. (Source)

.

Jet fuel simply cannot burn hot enough to melt steel.

Yet, there was molten steel in the 911 debris . . .

“You’d get down below and you’d see molten steel — molten steel! — running down the channel rails. Like you’re in a foundry… like lava… from a volcano.” – FDNY Captain Ruvolo (Source)

“As of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running. ” – Leslie Robertson,  SEAU News Structural Engineers Association of Utah 2001-10-01, (Source)

Underground fires raged for months. O’Toole remembers in February seeing a crane lift a steel beam vertically from deep within the catacombs of Ground Zero. “It was dripping from the molten steel,” he said.

With no special protective gear, he worked within a few feet of still burning fires, “like a volcano,” hot enough that molten steel could be seen dripping down. “My boots melted every night,” he recalled. “You just didn’t stand in one place too long.” – Union ironworker Tom Hickey

“Eddie and I walked down into the depths of the South Tower,… which was the first to collapse. Large front end loaders were engaged in their task… The average temp. beneath the rubble is said to be 1500 F. so that when steel is brought up it is molten and takes two or three days to cool down.”

So, how can a falling building on 911 create red-hot molten metal that is so hot it glows for days afterwards–as documented here:

There shouldn’t be any molten steel in the 911 debris. Yet, there was. Why?

Something doesn’t add up.

Let’s re-open the investigation of 911.
