The mushroom cloud and the pyroclastic flow are two different, distinct features of the WTC events.

Please observe the video linked above. There is dark smoke above the tower which is lazily wafting away before the demolition begins. As the tower explodes, the dark smoke expands and rises, an irrefutable proof of a large heat energy input. By the end of this video, the top of the plume is huge and towering, and displaying sharp cauliflower shaped boundries, as opposed to the diffused smoke that was present before the explosions began.
The pyroclastic flow is something else. The material from the building is being rapidly transformed into fine, dense powder. This is no ordinary dust from drywall or fireproofing. Such ordinary dust will mix with the air and fall very slowly. Because it is dense, it falls very rapidly to the ground. There is no other explanation for the rapid fall other than high density. The fall time of the dust is irrefutable proof that it is very dense.
This stuff behaved as a fluid. It fell rapidly and spread out along the ground, and expanded very rapidly, forming characteristic cauliflower shapes, maintaining distinct boundries with the air for some time. This is irrefutable proof that this fluid had higher pressure than the surrounding air. There is no other explanation for the expansion combined with the distinct boundries. It was pressurized, and thus was seeking to equalize pressure with the surrounding air.
I hope this clears up the disinformation expressed by some members on other threads. The mushroom cloud does not go down, it goes up and expands. Whether you wish to call the dust behaviour a pyroclastic flow or not is irrelevant. Call it anything you wish, the dust was dense, it behaved as a fluid, and it was pressurized.
