Seems you will believe anything if it suites your fancy.
From the video of the thermite melting it's way through the engine block?
There is no frigging way that the flower pot of thermite melted through the engine block.

Guess what?

They lied

Watch as streams of the stuff literally rolls of the hood of the car. It will do the same off the engine block. Granted it will strip some metal off, but no where near what they reported. Notice how they don't show you the engine block. Maybe cuz it didn't do shit to it? You see ....... you need to heat the engine block up to melting temps first, and that takes time .... far more than the time it took for the reaction. That's why the stuff rolled off the hood. It takes time to transfer the heat.

I worked in a foundry for five years. What a bunch of BS.

PT Barnum ..... There's a sucker born every minute.
ordinary thermite mixed correctly burns at 4500F, well above the melting temperature (2800F) of steel.

Steel conducts heat very quickly so any heat coming into contact with the steel is quickly transferred into the steel - this is why steel feels cold to the touch- because it takes the heat from your hand VERY QUICKLY.

you are confusing the slow heating up of steel from its room temperature up to its melting point with the direct contact of 4500F heat with steel.
