3,000 degrees doesn't melt steel, it vaporizes it.
proof? i work as a tradesman and we routinely heat treat some steels at 2500 degrees for an hour. i have trouble imagining that an extra 500 would vaporize it. in fact, its just plain wrong.

A gold flash? Looks like thermite burning through a public sidewalk. It's odd he used his Thermite for the same thing I'm going to use mine for...

aluminum perhaps would vaporize at 3k, but not structural steel.

LoL. Nice.
When i was younger, I was really into explosives and learning about them. One of my number 1 obsessions was thermite. Being in canada, its a lot harder to 'play' and aquire explosives as opossed to the US, trust me. So, I read up on how to make it, and decided to do it myself.
I actualy used a regular DC wall plug, and via wires, connected one end of a piece of iron to from the 'outside' of the plug, to the other end of the iron with the 'inside' of the plug. I put the iron in salt water and plugged it into a wall. Lucky enough, i didnt burn my house down...infact, it actualy worked! I slept with that damn thing going in my room, and by morning I had a bunch of iron oxide (rust) on the bottom of my lil water pan. So i let it go the whole day. Then i bought a strip of aluminum, and tried to file it down. Anyway, long story short, filling down a piece of aluminum bar inside an apartment is tough. So i gave up on it. I still have the entire setup in a small box sumwhere in my room. I wonder if it wouldve worked.... i still have the magnesium strip i bought to ignite. 
I've always wanted to have a weapon for revenge to put on engine blocks.
Maybe one day im gonna finish my little project. haha. Man, im so lucky that DC plug didnt explode or something. I guess i was a smart lil fucker to set it up properly.

In my later post I admitted that was incorrect. I shouldn't have said it in the first place, I had a hunch I might have been wrong. My hunch was correct.
