Is this an example of debunking the molten steel theory: http://www.debunking911.com/moltensteel.htm ? Sorry, little too much opinion masquerading as fact in that one.

Or, would you like to refer to the Popular Mechanics version of debunking the molten steel idea, here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/engineering/4213805 (and the original link to the original story inside), which says, simply, that there WAS no molten steel:
