This thread is great.
And those "nanothermite" (what the hell is nanothermite?! I call BS...) and so called thermite cuts are just shear fracturing from immense pressure and skewed weight distribution.
Molten iron/steel? Umm...no. As said before, just aluminum. They look the same when molten.
High explosives would probably not even start a fire like jet fuel would. They would be completely done in a fraction of a second.
The temperatures you provided, Wes, are very wrong. Fires are much hotter than that. You say molten steel at 1300 degrees Fahrenheit, well, guess what. A freaking candle burns hotter than that. Definitely not hot enough to melt steel!
