Because of the weight of the floors above the impact area? Seems plausible to me
[/ QUOTE ] But thats assuming the amount of weight above the impact area was able to generate enough force coming down onto the remaining building, crushing another, what, 75 floors? I dunno I guess its possible. But then the floors above would have to hit perfectly square, wouldn't it?

No. Remember, the critical points of failure on each floor were probably the angle clips on the floor joists. Each floor failed individually from the weight of the floors above it falling on it. A square hit was not required to overwhelm the angle clips.
1/2 WTC failed from the top down. Controlled demolitions cause failures from the bottom up
