8:45 a.m. (all times are EDT): A hijacked passenger jet, American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Massachusetts, crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center.
9:03 a.m.: A second hijacked airliner, United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston, crashes into the south tower of the World Trade Center.
10:05 a.m.: The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses.
10:28 a.m.: The World Trade Center's north tower collapses.

The South Tower collapsed in just over an hour, and the North Tower in under two hours.
The scene was replayed non-stop for hours, but the Twin Towers did not burn for hours.
And what about WTC 7?
Quote:
4:10 p.m.: Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex is reported on fire.
5:20 p.m.: The 47-story Building 7 of the World Trade Center complex collapses. Other nearby buildings in the area remain ablaze.

In just over an hour after a fire is reported in WTC 7, which was not hit by hijacked planes, it collapses, yet other buildings were on fire and didn't collapse.
Hmmm....
