Trying to confuse steam with the water vapor content of atmosphere isn't comparing apples to apples, by that logic you've already got steam at ambient temperature, yet try and find a scientist who's going to refer to water vapor at ambient air temp and pressure as steam. Not likely.

"If you heat water up enough", like 100°C at 1 atmosphere ?

Please, spare me the lecture.
So Jazzy, now are you suggesting we have the same conditions as in a jet engine under the random jumble of debris
![Er... what? o_O o_O](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
? Sorry but by all accounts the vast majority of Jet fuel burned off within the first few minutes, but even if not, the stuff burns no hotter than 825°C in open atmosphere and substantially less under less than ideal conditions.
Yikes, talk about getting grasping at straws.

Oh and repeating a flawed hypothesis just doesn't cut it. Why is it you refuse to acknowledge the hundreds of tons of energy absorbing materials, ( remember that sponge example
![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) that fell along with the steel ? Hundreds of tons of pulverized concrete is a lot like sand, is sand actually, or at least has a whopping huge aggregate component, which is basically large sand, often called gravel
![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
. Works the same

. Deal is you had steel flying in every direction imaginable during that collapse. No way you had more than a small percentage at best of the perfect alignments required by your pet hypothesis to actually transfer any appreciable amount of energy. But keep clinging, it is entertaining if nothing else.
