Steel and iron will burn in a normal atmosphere with sufficient surface area to mass when exposed to a flame well below the boiling/evaporation point of steel/iron. Is that false.
The statement was there was no source of heat to evaporate steel. It’s like? I don’t know.

Yes, statement is false.
Here's How Steel Wool Burns (and Why It Looks Like the Death of Krypton)
www.livescience.com...
The reason a block of iron like a utensil doesn't catch fire is that the surface area is small, relative to the volume, Jason Benedict, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, told Live Science. Rusting iron actually generates some heat in the reaction, but it's a very small amount. In addition, a big block of iron can absorb and dissipate a lot of that heat energy before the block's temperature goes up. (You can see this effect in heating a metal spoon when stirring boiling pasta — a small one very quickly gets too hot to hold, while a bigger spoon takes longer.)
Steel wool, on the other hand, is made of lots of thin strands, and so a lot more iron atoms are in contact with the oxygen in the air. When you add heat (as from a flame), you add energy to the iron, and that makes the iron more likely to react with other elements.

I was chatting about it with Sarns on Facebook a while back. Basically he can't get past the idea that iron burns, with a low ignition temperature, and makes spheres of various compositions of iron and iron oxide. He thought that the candle flame was super hot, and so was melting the iron filings. I demonstrated (video, below) that it makes no difference what the flame is (butane, candle, paper, wood), the iron filing combust just the same.
He seemed to stop responding after that. But I could have missed it, as I've been busy

No. If the towers where made out of steel wool you would have a good point. A combustion engine made out steel does not burn in normal operating conditions.

How would thermite “vaporize” Iron or steel?
Boiling point of Iron. 5198 Fahrenheit. Steel is a little less.
Thermite burns at at4000 Fahrenheit.
So how would thermite vaporize whole columns?
Good question. What was the source of this heat?
Yes, statement is false.
Normally we do not think of iron as being flammable, this is because bulk iron doesn't self-sustain its burning like most flammable materials. But the strands of steel wool are thin enough with enough surface area that heat produced is self-sustaining and will continue to burn through if there is enough air present.

It is ok that you don't how structural steel turns into iron micro spheres and what caused this heat.
When you call Richard Gage a charlatan for what he understands, you are indirectly calling me the same.
Is it fair to make these allegations on something you do not understand
Allegations? The falsehoods are well documented, and soundly proven.

Your arguments so far have failed to convince me. You saying you do not know does not inspire confidence in your position. If you have the evidence and data, great lets hear it.
So what caused structural steel to turn into iron micro sphere and where did this heat come from?

Do you have proof of planted pyrotechnics cutting columns?
That is fine, there are lots of things we do not know. The evidence shows some thing hotter than a usual office fire or plane crash took place. To crack the case we need to follow the evidence to where it leads.

I do see the iron micro spheres as proof of something cutting columns. Thermite is one possible explanation. I am open to another explanation but yet to find anything that measures up.
So your basing your argument off a false claim by Richard Gage. A known charlatan that pushes fake evidence.
You have posted evidence of the iron micro spheres.
Something caused enough heat to melt the structural steel for these micro spheres to form. I want to know what it was?

In what context? Please quote the actual post of mine your referring to. Or just more intellectually dishonesty by you.
If the steel in the picture below was raised to a temperature above a normal office fire to the point steel “evaporates” at 5000 Fahrenheit, then way isn’t the steel glowing.
There is no proof and no evidence of steel heated by something other than jet fuel and office fires.
Steel and iron will burn in a normal atmosphere with sufficient surface area to mass when exposed to a flame well below the boiling/evaporation point of steel/iron.
