And . . . how did you reach that conclusion? I'm far from being an engineer, but I did study welding and precision mechanics. I'm perfectly familiar with how steel melts and what it takes to melt it.
This guy is an engineer. Allow him to explain.

I can tell you that he is absolutely correct. If I had my settings wrong, I could seriously weaken and even deform steel, but it would not cut or weld, depending on what I was doing with it. Mind you, it can be crushed and manipulated in many ways. Steel is not the be all, end all of metals. I could put a sheet of it in a one-ton brake and it would bend like butter in the sun. How many tons do you suppose those top floors weighed?
