Well thousands and thousands of jet fuel were in the gaping hole and as the supports started getting weaker from the blazing fire when one floor collapsed the weight got a lot more heavy and the heavier it got and not to mention the speed both planes went into the buildings cause when it hit it tore through some of the main supports.

Why did The World Trade Center collapse?
Al Qaeda terrorists, masterminded by Osama bin Laden, are responsible for the tragedy. Two commercial jets filled with 10,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the World Trade Center towers, cutting off all the elevators and severely damaging the structure of the building. The fire alone couldn't have melted steel, but the fire with the pressure from above, bent the support structure that was damaged by the jet. Once one floor collapsed, the rest followed.
