That most likely is melting aluminum. It has been said to be likely
that aircraft wreckage piled up in that corner of the South Tower.

You don't even need aircraft wreckage for aluminum to have been
the source of the sparks and apparently molten material. The
external metal sheathing on the World Trade Center towers was
an aluminum alloy [1].

Aluminum's melting point is around 1,200 degrees F, a temperature
that's easily reached in building fires.

And, as a side note, steel weakens dramatically in fires nowhere close
to its melting point. My VW Bug caught fire a few weeks back, and the
steel carburetor spring went "unspringy." This was for a five minute
fire, with small amounts of gasoline and rubber as the fuels.

There is also the consideration of metals beside steel and aluminum in
the fires - magnesium, for example. There was a good bit in the planes
that hit the Towers, and it melts and catches fire quite easily at a
mere 600 degrees C.

Watch it with the facts there - you will **** off all the conspiracy kooks
if you keep it up. :O|
