The collapse seemed just too sudden and dramatic.
Having considered the fact that the WTC was designed for high wind loads and other crucial ,it seems that the collapse may be due to hte impact of the upper floors on the floor belowwhich were not designed to take such an impact.the structural system being such that the peripheral walls were the only support systems
pl correct me i f i a m wrong
