At 9:03 am, 17 minutes after the first attack, United Airlines Flight 175 Hit The WTC South tower
While there is a wide range of possible explanations for the collapse of the South Tower (2 WTC) before the North (1 WTC), it is believed that the lower impact of the plane on the tower (a full 15 stories under the same point on 1 WTC) and the passing of shrapnel and parts of the plane through three of four floor beams weakened the structure at an accelerated rate and brought 2 WTC down before its counterpart.
The northern WTC tower, then southern WTC tower, then Pentagon and the fourth plane crashed when the patriots inside killed the terrorists but couldn't fly the plane.
United Airlines Flight 175 was a Boeing 767-223, The same aircraft as the first plane who hit the north tower of the WTC, which was American Airlines Flight 11.
