OK, let's see how much interest you have in real debate. What it will take to convince me that molten steel was not the result of planes crashing into the buildings but the result of a CD is the following
Firstly, a coherent hypothesis by which a CD could result in the presence of molten steel weeks after the event, a phenomenon that has never been observed in any CD ever carried out by any means. This hypothesis must agree with the laws of physics and contain a complete set of causal links from CD to molten steel weeks later. It need not be the actual sequence of events, just a plausible sequence of events, but it must not have several steps missing. For example; "It was thermite; thermite melts steel" has numerous steps missing; it fails to explain either why steel would remain molten for weeks, or why thermite would remain unignited in large quantities for weeks, ignite just before a piece of debris was removed, and yet not be noticed reacting by the people working on the rubble pile.
Secondly, a clearly reasoned and compelling argument why molten steel cannot have occurred by the mechanisms already proposed, including natural furnace effects and elevation of flame temperatures by preheating of air in the rubble pile.
(It will not be a convincing argument, by the way, to say that there is no evidence for CD because the CD was designed to eliminate evidence for CD. We can all recognise the fallacy of begging the question very easily by now.)
If you can supply both those, then all you'll have to do is prove that the reports of molten steel were correct.
So, show us how interested you are in real debate by constructing your hypothesis as to how a CD could result in molten steel. Or demonstrate your contempt for real debate and your refusal to engage with reality by changing the subject and pretending that this post never existed. Your choice.

Post 962 of this thread...I laid out what I think may have happened, and in fact if I were given the task, that's pretty much what I would have done. I'll add to that there are ways thermite reaction can be slowed down. Look at this simple home video. If you search you can find more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qsPpjaGWJs
In terms of molten steel not occurring, I can't say with 100% certainty that is the case, but as I've said there appears to be no similar events landfill fires..etc that have gotten hot enough to melt steel. No one's really explained how a natural furnace would have taken place, except to say the subway providing oxygen. In short no one has really been able to explain how it could have been there
