Anyway 1 of the steel columns supposed to melt faster than 3 others, this would cause the "cap" to fall on a side of the building, and not directy down.
Pure Physics.
It's not "pure physics". It's a quite-complicated engineering problem. You know, engineers, those guys who designed the Tacoma Narrows bridge. Physicists and engineers have presented many different explanations of how it is that bridge collapsed. Sixty years later they still do.

There's quite a degree of imprecision in trying to model what will happen under such complicated circumstances.
