How do you melt a industrial sheet pan?

At work not so long ago (I work in the kitchen of a medium/small sized hotel). The banquet staff managed to melt one of our industrial sheet pans. They did it, by placing so many "sterno" brand chauffer flames to close under the pan in a holding box. Anyone in the industry will know what I am saying for everyone else. It is the things that usually keep your food warm on a buffet. So Can you guess how many were under the sheet pan? And can you think of any other ways this may happen? It surprised everyone in our kitchen, as we use them to increase the temperature of our charbroilers so that the grease and crud that builds up can be cleaned off easily.

oh let's see..i'd say about 10,minimum.
lemme guess-they burned all the food above it too,didn't they?
dude..when i worked in banquets,some chick managed to get a hotbox to explode.i'm still not sure how she managed that..
but she was also known for putting the table fluff too close to the sternos on the chafing dishes.

Explode!!??! Crazy craziness, your guess is very close, and luckily only one food item got nilled, sadly it was a sirloin beef roast...bottom fubar'd (flushed up beyond all recognition) and the middled temped at 280F I believe, and if you know anything about beef, you know it is beyond done, at around 170F...
12...

They melted the pan dear. Very dangerous...it most definitely caused quite a stir, luckily if a fire did break out it would have been relatively contained, inside of a metal box. The issue of course was the high density aluminum pan with the big hole in it....
