In both of those incidents, the fuel was gasoline which burns at rougghly twice the temp of jet fuel. Also in each the was a free flow of air allowing complete combustion .

No, sorry, wrong. The fuel was diesel, which is very similar to jet fuel. To fly an aircraft weighing 140 tons at 540 MPH requires a high-energy fuel with tremendous energy-to-weight ratio. The weight of the fuel must be low in comparison to its power output.
When National Geographic’s experts EMTC tested jet fuel’s ability to melt steel, the jet fuel fire reached 2,000 degrees F in about 1 minute and melted the steel beem in 3 1/2 minutes.
How do you think that steel foundries melt steel? They use what is essentially home heating oil — kerosene, or jet fuel.
