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.

At 1000F structural steel only has 40% of it's strength. It's still losing its strength quickly beyond that.
