The difference between heat and temperature is no more relevant

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.

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.

That's due to lack of conductivity. The steel in the WTCs would have been a
very good conductor of heat since it was attached to the ground.

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.

Actually combustion heat is cooled with water or in some cases air.
Lubricants help reduce friction so keep moving parts cool, but are not
generally the primary means of cooling an engine.
