Then we have both towers falling - there is seismic damage, more debris hitting the building. All of this combined caused some of the girders to give way leading to progressive collapse.
Here is what really happened:

One side of building had a hugh gouge in it and this is the primary reason it collapsed. The fireman discussed what appeared to be its imminent collapse because of the gash and that is why it was decided to withdraw them. There is only mystery among people that are ignorant.
