According to the far left it cannot. Maybe they need some education.

ROFL, nice question. Seriously though, I have a degree in physics and an working on my engineering degree so I have a little bit of an idea of what I'm talking about. Maybe I can go on the view?
For a building to collapse the steel doesn't have to be melted it just has to be heated up. When steel reaches a temperature of 450 F, a temperature any oven can reach, it loses more than half of it's strength, buildings aren't designed to stand after losing more than half of there structural integrity.

Can Fire Melt Steel

I never knew Rosie had said that, very good satire. Yeah im not sure how you could say that steel can not be melted by fire LOL. We build out steel to withstand fires but if it burns hot enough (like it would have at the WTC, and here at this gasoline fire) it WILL melt. How does Rosie think steel is formed anyway?

The steel doesn't have to melt. It just had to be weakened. That combined with the other structural damage to the building caused it to collapse. All it took was one floor to give way. After that it was like falling dominoes. BTW. To my knowledge, the structural engineering firm that worked on the WTC has never publicly raised questions regarding the collapse.

Ther was Shermans March and Steel ties were bent using wood to heat the ties and wrap them around trees and California where a FUEL fire caused the collapse of a Highway bridge, the bridge was made of asphalt and steel

Heat melts steel, if it's high enough.

I think to be fair they don't beleive jet fuel fire can melt steel.
What they don't want to admit to is that a fire will weaken steel and can't holdup it's design load and will collaspe.

Obviously, it can't form itself into different shapes unless it's liquid, how else would it be melted.

They haven't been to Pittsburgh yet. Or they have forgotten about their democratic voting Union Steelworkers. Not a surprise there.
