Car fires burn hot as hell so molten metal is kind of a given, they also generate and insane amount of smoke however the engine block being ejected makes no sense to me at all. I've seen cars burn to the ground, even when the tank goes up it won't send engines flying.
This is not true at all. I’m a firefighter and a fire investigator. Car fires burn fairly hot and do produce a ton of smoke. The fire shown in the photos is WAY more than a standard vehicle fire. I’ve been to vehicle investigation specialty classes where we spend a week burning 20 cars — none of them become “molten.”
I’ve seen very few vehicle fires produce molten metal in my career. Even then, it’s like tanker trucks with thousands of gallons of fuel on board. Vehicle fires just don’t burn long enough to do that. The plastics in the car and fuel burn and then that’s about it.
