Here's what the fire looked like before it got WAY out of control.

This will have the effect of causing traffic patterns to change in and around the Atlanta area. I like Atlanta for their Waffle Houses.
High concentration of Waffle Houses in and around Atlanta. It truly is a sight to behold. You do not have Waffle Houses in New York City. But if there were, I would definitely go to Waffle House more often.

If there was any steel that melted, someone should contact famed metallurgist Rosie O'Donnell, since it would be the second time in history that
fire has ever melted steel.

In the photo you posted it appears that the area beneath the bridge was being used to store some sort of flammable material. Looks like rolls of something - cable, pipe, hose, etc.

It is being reported as coils of industrial PVC conduit. There were also long lengths of industrial PVC pipe. All very flammable...

The phenomena is creep
The steel does’nt melt but deforms under load

structural engineers told FOX 5 they were worried about fire melting the metal under the bridge"Not this crap again. 'Structural engineers'! What do they know!"

Steel melts. It depends on the temperature. I’ve used straight oxygen to cut steel using the molten steel as a fuel.

Well, of course it melts...... but the temperature must be very hot to reach the steel melting temperature required for melting or cutting or welding

$4.99 All You Can Eat Buffet! Waffle House would go broke quickly if they did that! We have six locations in our little area of GreenAcres just NW of the NW Atlanta suburbs.

WHY are they storing flammables under steel bridges?

I’ll be taking MARTA to work today. I’m a state employee—all state employees in the metro area start work at 10 am today.

It’s a convenient location. Google is doing a major fiber optics upgrade in Atlanta.

Steel does not have to melt to fail in a fire. Ask any structural engineer why steel beams have to be fireproofed and wood beams do not.
At about 950Deg F, a steel beam will fail under it's own weight. A wood beam will hold until it burns through.
I am not an engineer, but I spent much of my life working with them. If I have questions about structural strength, I will ask one of them, Not some Hollywood b*^ch.

Steel, depending on the type, can melt at 2400 deg F. It becomes pretty soft around 1400F. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that PVC, with the chimney effect, the get it that hot.

Google pulled out of that. It’s ATT doing the installation. Now whose flammable cables were under the highway I don’t know
