NO.....NIST Tested 160 beams from the impact area. 157 of them saw temps of 500 degrees or less.
You know what a heat sink is??? In 56 minutes those huge beams arent going to reach the temp the fire is at. They are all interconnected, so the heat will wick away.
Alos, as the stell was tested to spec, the spec is 2000 degrees for 2 hours
Nothing got near that hot, nor near that long did the fires last.
