From a reader:

Hi Jonah, I don’t listen to Rosie or watch The View, but I heard her remarks reported. I am not a physicist (but a degreed mechanical engineer, though I don’t think that matters.) And I know nobody postulated that the fire in the WTC “melted” steel, causing the buildings to collapse. But the idea the fire never melts steel makes me wonder: how do we get steel in the first place? You mean all those scenes of Pittsburgh steelmen pouring molten alloy out of big crucibles are fake? Or that maybe we’ve used something other than “fire” to make steel lo these many years? Whence this magical heat source? Will the View provide the answers? Will those Yale or Harvard physicists? (FWIW I have immense regard for physicists.) I’m vexed by these questions…

The greatest thing about this is that I absolutely guarantee you she’s
actually going to have somebody from her office call the Harvard or
Yale physics department.
I don’t know about the rest of your readers, but being able to listen
in on the line as she tries to get some physics prof to say fire has
never melted steel is something I’d pay serious money for. It might
also be an interesting test to see if heads can actually explode.

Update II: The New Editor reports Steel Industry fraud cases inevitable now that O’Donnell has blown the whistle on the whole “fire melts steel” hoax.
