What was the cause of the two twin towers to collapse?

Did the twin towers collapse quickly because of explosives?
No, it was actually the heat from the fires that weakened the steel in the structures. The resulting "pancake" collapse was a result of the same thing that happens when you knock over a row of dominoes - the failure of the floor where the planes hit (due to the above weakened steel supports) caused it to fall directly down on the floor below, which could not withstand such an impact, and it failed, hitting the floor below, etc.
