What goes up, without support, will come down with the combined kinetic energy that went into raising it ... consider how much power it took to raise all that steel, pipes, air conditioning units, facade material, furniture, etc several hundred feet (all the mass of the buildings above the respective impact points) into the air over many, many months ... when the support failed, gravity took over releasing all that power in an instant. It's the same principle behind implosions - knock out some key supports and gravity does rest; there's nothing mysterious about the destruction.
