Creative Speculation

Why burn at 1800 and then say it's "just 300 degrees more" than jet fuel burns? That is a big difference when it comes to metal working. Do it at the 1500 and give us another demo.

How long did he have the steel heating in the forge? Page 184 of the NIST final report says (in part): Jet fuel sprayed onto typical office workstations burned away within a few minutes. The jet fuel accelerated the burning of the workstations, but did not significantly affect the overall heat released. In the simulations, none of the columns with intact insulation reached temperatures over 300c. Only a few isolated truss members with intact insulation were heated to temperatures over 400c in the WTC 1 simulations and to temperatures over 500c in the WTC 2 simulations.
