Just needs a supply of ~~Dioxygen difluoride~~ Chlorine trifluoride [ref] which when spilled in large quantities "burned its way through a foot of concrete floor and chewed up another meter of sand and gravel beneath"
A quick visit to wikipedia gives me this lovely paragraph which makes me nervous:
Flourine is really scary stuff. If we're going to toss some FOOF at the concrete, we could also use ClF~3~. Clorine Triflouride is another angry oxidizer that I'm pretty sure is hypergolic with sand of all things.
More like tossing FAFO
