> The intense heat that was required to bend box beams without stress fractures:
One plate of the beam is bent -- the other three are fractured -- and apparently you are unaware that temperatures within the range of office fires weaken steel, even if they are well short of the melting point. At 600 degrees C, structural steel has already lost half its strength. Here's what can happen to steel beams in a fire, even though the wooden beam wasn't destroyed:
> The intense heat needed to sinter cement around guns, then cool, then later melt the guns away:
No "intense heat" is required to explain what the photo actually shows. Sintering happens at all temperatures -- it just happens faster at higher temperatures -- and when you claim that it "later melt(ed) the guns away," you are trying to pass off your over-active imagination as evidence. There's no need to explain things that didn't happen.
> The intense heat needed to sinter cement around rebar and steel plates:
And yet the "intense heat" didn't burn scrapes of paper which can still be read?
> The >1,400 degree fahrenheit temperatures on top of the rubble pile five days later:
1400 degress F is well within the range that should be expected as the material in the office building continued to burn.
Fail.
