The difference between heat and temperature is no more relevant than
the relationship between pressure and temperature where the 9/11
tragedy is concerned. It does, however, serve as another tool of
distraction for those who wish to clog the airways with obscure
prychobabble. Why do you choose to ignore the issue Mr. Graffiti. How
about we just get down to business here. (1) question: WHAT IS THE
MELTING POINT OF STEEL? answer: 2000 degrees farenheit. (2) question:
WHAT CAUSED THE STEEL INFRASTRUCTURE TO FAIL. answer:
??????????????????

Steel would lose half its strength at a temperature of 650C (1200F).

A gas cooker flame is around 800C. These flames regularly come into contact
with Steel, Copper and aluminium cookware for sustained periods without
having any adverse affect on the metal at all.

The steel used in the construction of the WTCs was a special steel with a
higher melting point than ordinary steel somewhere around 3000C. Some forms
of steel actually gets stronger when heated. Its possible 650C would have no
affect whatsoever on the strength of some forms of steel. Indeed if those
sort of temperatures adversely affected steel to the extent you claim it
would not be possible to run a IC engine on Gasoline/Petroleum without the
cylinder block imploding. LOL
