Keep dancing. There was no liquid steel proved by your reference. The erosion was not due to steel melting as you claimed, it was due to hot corrosion.
Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intragranular melting
The eutectic temperature for this mixture strongly suggests that the temperatures in this region of the steel beam approached 1,000 °C (1,800 °F), which is substantially lower than would be expected for melting this steel.
