The gas starts the fire, but the building is what actually destroys itself.

The South Tower was hit lower, but had much less structural damage. There was not a direct impact with the core, as there was with the North Tower.
Okay the jet fuel was only a catalyst, but how the fires started would effect the way the fires burned after the fuel burned out. As there was less fuel that started the fire in the South Tower, it would have less of an effect. I know from records that as far as other fuel for the fire - office furniture, paper, computers, etc. - the buildings were basically identical. If they have both been hit identically, they should have burned at the same rate. Imgaine you have two identical cars, you spill a gallon of gas in one, and 4 gallons in another. Which shoudl burn up faster?
