Steel won't melt at all from the temperatures jet fuel produces. Not even close. The argument the Roark's try to scrap up is that the rubble pile somehow turned into a big smelting furnance, despite the insane improbabilities against that working out. There would be less chance of that than thermite reactions occurring naturally in the WTC, which Roark is apparently also suggesting.
