What was created was a collection of all sorts of finely ground materials... iron, aluminum, sulfur, copper iron oxide and so forth... all mixed with some water and lots of heat.
It's likely that the heat was so intense that it was able to ignite exothermic reactions, such as Iron Oxide and Aluminum which is essentially thermite.
I think I'm following you, Jeffrey.
So if the "mechanical grinding of the concrete" were responsible for the ignition of exothermic reactions, how do we account for the molten material (suggestive to some of being thermite-driven) spilling from at least one of the towers prior to its collapse and the alleged consequent heating?

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
