weird that people think the steel had to melt for the structure to become unstable. When you are forging a piece of metal into lets say a sword, you dont have to melt it to get it pliable enough to bend and mold. 1500F is plenty enough to get steel red hot and pliable. If you take a billion ton structure and make the supports like rubber its going to fall over even if the steel is still a 1000F away from its melting point.
