Will Jet Fuel Burn At Such A High Temperature To Liquify Structural Steel?

I am not asking for answers like 'Jet fuel can weaken structural steel by 50%-60%, which led to the fall of the World Trade Centre in 9/11.' The reason behind asking this question is because it is reported that liquified steel was seen dripping from the building. So i want to know what caused to steel to liquify in a matter of minutes. Please do not give 'crappy' answers to this questions.

1. Steel melts at around 2500 degrees F. To have it melt and drip and stay a liquid while it drips requires even more heat. Wikipedia reports that the maximum temp of jet fuel burning is 1796 degrees F.
2. No. Jet fuel does not burn anywhere near hot enough to liquify steel and make it hot enough to drip. But thermite does.
