People claim that fire couldn’t have melted the steel supporting the Twin Towers.
Maybe it is true and maybe not, but nobody ever mentions the fire melting the steel rebar in the concrete slabs supporting the floors.

Fact 1: Hydrocarbon fire does not melt steel.

Fact 2: Freeways are constructed with large amounts of Asphalt

Fact 3: Asphalt is flammable.

Asphalt support the free to the pillar melted causing collapse. The steel did not melt.

Like you could achieve blast furnace temperatures in a uncontrolled outdoor setting with only hydrocarbons.
