No way JP burns with enough heat to melt or even soften steel. That’s why jet engines are made of exotic metals that are resistant to high temperatures and the combustion section is internally insulated by a layer of high pressure boundary air to contain the combustion to keep it from burning through the can. Yup. It’s because JP burns so cool that great care must be taken to prevent hot starts that will destroy a jet engine in seconds.

Burning in open air vs inside a combustion
chamber are 2 completely different scenarios. You never get close to the adiabatic temp in the open.

That is correct.
Inconel is one of those exotic metals used is jet engines. It is also used for making higher end sound suppressors like the Surefire military cans.
More info on high temp alloys here.
What is Inconel? | Metallurgy for Dummies
Inconel alloys are generally known for their resistance to oxidation and their ability to maintain their structural integrity in high temperature atmospheres.

As with most conspiracy theories lots of misleading and faulty information gets passed around. For example the Pentagon (especially in 2001) being the most secure building in the world. Fucking please!

That’d all be cool if the crash occurred inside of a combustion chamber but since the fuel was burning in the open the temp cannot get to the same as it would be inside a highly specialized engine made to maximize the fuel efficiency

Interesting. Never knew this.
Also never knew they used jet fuel in controlled demolitions.

Sorry. I forgot fire is one of those benign forces that is easily controlled. The firestorms that devastated the cities of Japan, Germany and the hills of Southern California were mostly peaceful campfires. No way a fire could draw in air at such velocities to reach temperatures needed to burn through metals, unless they born inside “a highly specialized engine designed to maximize the fuel efficiency”.
I guess it’s impossible that filling a high rise building with thousands of gallons of jet fuel and setting it on fire could turn it into a chimney, drawing air through the stairways, elevator shafts and broken windows to create the hellish temperatures needed to soften steel. I suppose none of the other flammable materials in the building would burn hot enough to damage structures. Yep. The flames were mostly peaceful.

That’s exactly the problem, you never knew.
I’m looking forward to you telling me all about your demolition training and experience.
For those without TDS this is an interesting article.
CAN STEEL BEAMS BE MELTED BY JET FUEL
Some believe that 9/11 was an inside job. Some of these conspiracy theories arise from the question, can steel beams be melted by jet fuel.
