    We know for a fact that humans and jet fuel can't melt steel beams, but why hasn't anyone investigated if apes can?

    Because humans haven't learned their language yet.....? You think they're throwing shit at you at the zoo but they're actually telling you how to melt steel beams

    Well throwing poop won't melt steel no matter how it's done. Throwing oxygen at Kerosene in great amounts will more than do the trick. How do you throw oxygen? Super up draft will do, like up and elevator shaft. Anybody ever experiment with chimneys?
    The taller the better, the more up draft, the hotter the fire.

    Well this took a turn from what I was going for. Maybe I should have just started a new thread about the mudslide that has killed 15 people. I guess part of the cause was the fire but geez, I just feel bad for all the victims.

    Don't believe it!
    Do you remember the cement plant in Oswego from years ago? Oil feed kiln melting limestone, could produce temps of 1400+ C
    Turn that stone into lava and then clinker rolled out the end.
    Heat is a function of how much oxygen more than the fuel. Shit, you can burn aluminum with enough oxygen.
    Wonder how many BTUs are in a 757?
