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.

What caused the twin towers to collapse?
The twin towers collapsed on September 11, 2001, after being struck by hijacked airplanes. The impact of the planes and subsequent fires weakened the buildings' structures, leading to their ultimate collapse.
What forces were acting upon the twin towers?
The forces acting upon the twin towers were primarily gravity, wind loads, and the impact of the airplanes on 9/11. These forces caused structural damage and ultimately led to the collapse of the towers.
How did the twin towers got destroyed?

The collapse of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, was caused by the impact of two hijacked planes (American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175) crashing into the buildings, which weakened the structures, combined with the intense heat from the resulting fires that caused the steel framework to lose its structural integrity.
How did the Twin Towers fall down?

Was the collapse of the Twin Towers on 91101 measured on a Richter scale?
No, the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was not measured on the Richter scale because the Richter scale is designed to measure the magnitude of earthquakes, not man-made events such as building collapses. However, the collapses did generate seismic waves that were recorded by seismographs in the area.
