I should clarify my last post. So how about... The steel just melts at low temperature... riiiiight.
Jet fuel is not some high explosive, being that a plane crashed to cause it to spill it was not sprayed or under pressure for more than an instant. It may have burned quite a while as a puddle. Try an experiment, take a tin can (steel is OK, weird eh?) and put kerosene in it, light it on fire and lay a piece of angle iron or even a coat hanger across it... wait till it melts or you die of old age.
Not to say it's impossible, in a car gasoline fire the springs will collapse and drop the car on to the frame. It won't melt the frame though.
