1.) Buildings don't fall straight down at a perfect 90 degree angle unless there is a controlling factor behind it. We've all played Jenga, right? Well, I challenge someone to throw a rock at the top of a Jenga tower and see how it falls. I assure you that it won't be perpendicular to the ground.
2.) I've always wondered how the fires in the WTC were hot enough to melt reinforced steel beams, but not hot enough to melt the highjackers passports...

Actually, watch some demolition videos and you'll see that it's not always true that a building falls at a 90 perfect angle even in a controlled demolition. Throwing the rock at the upper of the jenga tower and you get the spray of debris just from what was HIT to outside of the structure. What you cannot account for in the jenga tower is that the piece of jenga are solid so you will not experience the same weakness of the support structure below the damaged area.
Also, please watch more 9/11 videos and you'll see that the structure did not fall in a straight line, it fell as it met resistence, some parts "blossomed' or "flowered" outwards and fell as far as BLOCKS away (please note that NYC blocks in Lower Manhattan are quite smaller than your average suburban sprawl blocks.)
