800-1500C for burning jet fuel, depending on available oxygen.
steel melts (liquid phase change) at ~1400C.
you're at 60% strength at 500C.
collapse was inevitable given the construction. there's a (slim) chance it may have survived if it had been built to design.....but the specified asbestos cladding on the main girders was deleted (it was at 'that' time in the movement to remove asbestos), without any other compensating changes in the design.
hearsay on whether the asbestos would have had a material outcome.
it'd be sickening to see this still being argued 20yrs later.
most people aren't willfully ignorant, though. they're just not engineers.
agreed, and admittedly, the guy in the video is a bit salty, but the video's useful for making the point; you don't have to melt a metal to severely weaken it...
