Who said it was steel? Was it steel, or a steel alloy? Or was it just metal?
Are you really telling me that there was weeks of underground fires, and that your surprised metal melted?

What caused them in the first place? Airline fuel?

Why would anyone debate this? Everyone in the world saw huge fireballs. When the towers collapsed, some of it was on fire. It continued to burn underground. There was a shopping complex, a subway station, and a power sub station underground, as well as over six hundreds cars. Why does it surprise you that it was on fire and why does it surprise you that it burned for weeks underground?
Stop thinking of this as a two story building. It was a city of fifty thousand people.

They are discussing thermite, which is very common. And when that failed they started calling it "nano thermite".
Did they use thermite after the towers fell to start cutting away the debris?

There was no explosive event.
There was an explosion from when the planes hit, and then multiple explosions from there on out when flaming debris hit other buildings, setting them on fire.
Again, you thinking of this as a building. It wasn't "just a building". This was a massive city with hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline, back generators, sub stations, subway stations, a shopping mall, a parking garage etc etc etc. Once there was multiple fires at multiple locations, there was explosions everywhere.

I think that people work worked six or eight stories underground had no idea what was happening above ground. Even if they were able to hear it, I would imagine that it would echo around and they would be unable to determine the original source. It's entirely possible they never heard the original impact, but instead heard smaller and local explosions as fireballs raced down elevator shafts.
