The towers fell because the beams were melted by the tremendous heat of the fire and then collapsed causing floors to fall on top of each other. Each floor fell on top of each other, its the same thing as putting two floors on top of each other and effectivly doubleing the weight. I dont believe that each floor was built to handle double the weight that it was designed to hold.
| The floors were designed to hold the tensile strength of the weight above. When the floors that were hit finally collapsed from the disintegration of the metal framework, and dropped onto the floors below, the floors were not designed to hold up under a sudden jolt, and collapsed; and so on, until all the floors were collapsed.
Retired National Security Advisor Richard Clark noted that a conspiracy that the buildings were sabotaged by government depends upon a couple of false premises:
1. That the government is competent
2. That they can keep a secret
