I saw the failure of both; the south and north towers live (on TV) that 
day. The one with the most impact was the south tower that had been hit 
at a much lower level than the north tower.

The south tower did topple (from the point of impact) to some extent 
until gravity took over. This building collapsed in less than one hour 
from the initial impact.  OTOH, the north tower being hit much higher 
lasted well over an hour.  When the failure occurred, it was very 
similar to a roof collapsing on a burning building where the collapse 
pushes smoke and debris out of the compromised area.  Once this 
occurred, the top of the building settled downward destroying itself and 
succeeding floors below one by one.

No conspiracy here...
