We use something of the sort at work to scarf old weld, burn through the center of stuck pins, cut stainless pins...its called an x-torch. basically magnesium rods in the center of a copper tube.

All a thermic lance is, is a copper tube packed with copper rods. You heat the end up with a gas welding torch until it starts the go white hot, and then neat oxygen is blown through the tube. The copper than starts to burn into cupric oxide, and creates around 3200 C temperature. Thermic lances create huge amounts of smoke, and cant really be used indoors. However, there has been an instance of one being used to burn a hole in the two foot thick concrete roof of a bank in order to rob it.

were can i get a thermal lance
This is the nastiest tool ever... but it can get a whole lot nastier than that moment of sparks you see there. Imagine a blast furnace melting down and all the molten iron making a 3 foot layer of metal the size of a football field. Then go use that lance for back to back 12 hour shifts for days on end to cut that all into chunks small enough to crane or drag out. NON STOP! At that point you have the "NASTIEST TOOL EVER".
