Remember the 9/11 conspiracy theories that said fires couldn't make a steel building collapse? Yeah, not so much.
At first, I thought that the melted pile near the visible fire toward the stern was the remains of the pilothouse. Looking at later pictures, it turns out that's just a pile of containers melted down. The bridge wing is just visible poking out of the smoke at the aft end.

True. I'm also 100% sure that the port of Qatar (one of the ones that denied help) has the ability, facilities, and money to handle a leaky hazmat container. The other one was a smaller port in India and might or might not have been able to really deal with it safely.
Get metal hot enough and it will melt. I remember maybe 30 years ago a semi with an aluminum trailer went off the road and caught on fire. When the fire was over the trailer was a large puddle of aluminum.
