Again you are wrong.
You can look up the combustion characteristics in the Chemical Rubber Co. Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, and you won’t end up looking like such a fool.
Your father may have worked in a foundry, but I doubt that he was charged with repealing the laws of physics or chemistry.
Last, the direction of the plumes of smoke rising from the WTC towers belie your statements re: the fire. Little wind was in evidence. The dense black smoke indicated a cool, struggling fire; not an efficient hot fire.

But it is the 9/11 Truthers who are trying to repeal the laws of physics.
Steel is VERY EASY to soften. That is why it has utility. If steel were hard to soften, then it would be USELESS as a common material. It is precisely because steel can EASILY be shaped into useful tools that it has made such an impact on humanity.
A blacksmith 3000 years ago — in places where THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY COAL — could simply heat steel over a perfectly ordinary fire, and then beat the softened steel into all sorts of shapes, from swords to suits of armor to plows.
The absurd insanity of the 9/11 Truthers that steel is HARD to soften is a false assumption that warps their entire thinking.
Steel foundries use ordinary heating oil, very similar to kerosene or jet fuel, to melt and smelt steel... to the point of a liquid state.
The jet fuel burned by EMTC ran at 2,000 degrees F.
Again: Jet fuel must have a very high energy to weight ratio. Jets have to FLY through the air, though heavier than air.
As for the forced air through the gaping hole in the WTC, functioning like a blacksmith’s bellows, I did not say that the wind was at high speed. That is irrelevant.
Even a modest wind striking a 208 foot wide surface with a gaping hole int eh middle will create a powerful wind tunnel effect forcing a constant flow of air through the fire.
Howevr, the speed requires is not great.
A blacksmith’s bellows does not create hurricane force winds. All it does is keep a good flow of air into the fire.
High speeds are irrelevant and unnecessary. Only a good flow of air is needed to equal the effect of a blacksmith’s bellows.
