No, National Geographic just broadcast its test of this. Their experts EMTC filled a pit with jet fuel and placed a steel beam across it.
The jet fuel reached 2,000 degrees F in about 1 minute, and the steel beam folded like a wet noodle in 3 1/2 minutes.
HOW DO YOU THINK MEDIEVAL BLACKSMITHS MADE SWORDS AND SUITS OF ARMOR? Steel would be worthless if it could not be shaped into useful shapes. The reason that steel is so useful is that it is EASY to soften it with heat and reshape it to suit our needs.
National Geographic is a comic book.
Their support of the “feathered Dinosaur” fraud showed what they are.
I didn’t flunk chemistry either.
