I saw this. He heats it up to 1800, 300 degrees more.

300 degrees is a lot plus the geometry of the part matters. He isn't bending a steel beam at 1500 degrees.

And no one is showing video of a steel beam deforming at 1500 degrees.

Because they don't.

He probably had his forge set up for that and would have had to do actual work and planning instead of this off the cuff video. It's just a demonstration that metal doesn't have to be melted to be significantly weakened. And there's no need for the steel to be a noodle to not be able to support the significant stresses involved in holding up a fucking building.

The 300 degrees matter. The video isn't proving shit.

Geometry and thickness matter.
