One thing to keep in mind is the structure is not homogeneous, it is heterogeneous. The structure was based on 2 rings of supports, an inner and an outer. With the north tower, the plane went right inside, smashing through 1 or 2 of the walls of the inner structure, but with the south tower, the plane hit the corner of the inner supports, creating more structural instability than just the 2 holes. Corners give strength to the building, and by weakening this one, it brought the building down faster.
