I hate to get involved in this cat fight, but when thermite is used, it melts only a very local region which is blown away from the area by the reaction. A molten pool of iron would not be produced. I suspect, as others have suggested, that the huge energy of the collapse would melt the

Of course it would be incorrect if the demolition company wanted to make molten iron. However, they generally try to use as little of the expensive thermite as possible to get the job done. When a person hears an explosion, as people claimed to do, this means that things were blown away.
