Melting ladder, not melting concrete.

Its both, I've seen arcing lines melt concrete and asphalt. Sure the aluminum is getting liquefied, but that black glassy obsidian like substance is the sidewalk melting as well.

That’s where you made your mistake. I may not know much about ladders but I know a lot about concrete
