Speaking of which, the energy of the planes hitting the buildings would have undoubtedly been converted into a substantial amount of heat, on top of the flames.

KE = mv^2
KE = (100,000kg)(200m/s)^2
KE = (100,000)(40,000)
KE = 4,000,000,000J

Despite being a conservative estimate, that's as much energy as a ton of TNT with its entire explosion directed at the buildings.
