So you saw experiments with both jet fuel and thermite, the thermite didnt melt the steel, but the jet fuel did?
I'd love to see those videos.
The steel in WTC was rated at something like 2000 C degrees.... jet fuel burns in OPEN AIR, less then 500 C, and according to wiki is at 287.5 C degrees. Mind you... that's OPEN AIR.
