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.

You are one stoopid bitch! Do you leave metal pots on a gas hob
empty and unattended? Do you know what happens when you do?
If left uhnattended long enough, the non-ferrous pots melt. the
cast iron, and stainless lose their temper, and can easily get
distorted.

Your analogy is flawed. when a pot is placed on a cook top, it
generally has something in it, like a liquid, or something that has 
quite a bit of liquid in it, for instance, vegetables. Water absorbs
great amounts of heat, and when it begins to boil, the heat 
disipates. Same with anything else being cooked. The heat is first
absorbed, then it disipates. Usually in the form of steam.

If the pots are allowed to cook themselves dry, there will be an 
effect. Try it for yourself.

The steel used in the construction of the WTCs was a special steel with a
higher melting point than ordinary steel somewhere around 3000C. 

Citation, please.

Some forms
of steel actually gets stronger when heated.

Citation, please.

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

What does the cooling system of an IC engine do? Actually, the
overheated engine seizes from lack of proper lubrication, but 
I doubt you knew that.
