4.16 If the T-1000 is destroyed when it falls into the molten steel, why wasn't it destroyed when the semi tow-truck blew up? (The Terminator)

Molten steel is a *lot* hotter than a gas explosion; notice that the truck
did
not melt when it blew up. According to the "Handbook of Chemistry and

explosion burns at only 200-300 degrees C. Also, molten metal holds a lot
more
heat energy than burning gasoline.
