The toweres fell due to the great weight of the above floors having a great downward impact which, once the stabilizing braceswarped and literally melted, caused an unstable side support system to buckle, causing a domino effect as the upper mass compressed floor upon floor. There is no mystery with building two, as a greater upper mass was involved and, perhaps, more concentrated jet fuel.
