And... Is this post about 9/11?

    No one mentioned 9-11. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

    I assume it's a reference to one of the 9/11 conspiracy theories.

    The claim was that jet fuel doesn't burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel. Therefore a bunch of burning jet fuel alone wouldn't have been enough to collapse the towers. Therefore someone must have put something else there.

    Even XKCD got in on the joke. https://xkcd.com/966/

    You are nearly spot on: it isn't just the heat it will produce, but the lack of ignition due to the oxygen required for ignition.
