The true evolution of the story is this: flames become more and more dark and extinguish because sprinklers work very well.
B.J.B.: Water was pouring down the stairwell, and all the while the building was creaking and cracking, and it felt like it was coming apart.
Erik O. Ronningen : I remember how calm and orderly the descent in the stairwells was… and how smoky… accompanied occasionally with the snapping sounds of tortured pipes and walls stressed beyond endurance.

Problem was that the sprinkler plumbing were smashed by the aircraft
impacts - sprinklers were inoperative above the 92th floor (North)
and 78th floors (South)
Survivors reported water cascading down stairs from broken pipes

i tend to wonder why the hijackings stopped if they're so successfull. why not hijack planes somewhere in the mideast and drop them on us targets in iraq?

The buildings were designed to collapse vertically. The intense heat from the burning jet fuel after impact was not some typical camp fire going on in there. The sheer weight of what was above the impact points is what caused the framework to give way and since the buildings were designed to collapse vertically...down they came...as they were designed to do.
Surely no one was expecting them to topple over like a tree cut at its trunk?
Basic laws of physics took hold, ie gravity and the engineering put into the design of the buildings prevented more damage than what was caused.
Cheers!!!!

Actually hijacking had pretty much died out by late 1990's - special ops
forces had developed tactics to combat conventional hijacking -
those in which hijackers seize plane and passengers, fly to some location
and begin making demands. These hijackers were dependent on cooperation of the flight crews to take them where wanted and help
keep passengers under control. Many countries would refuse landing
permission to hijacked aircraft - in some cases going as far to block
runways. US authorities were concentrating on bomb attacks like that
of PAN AM 103.
The 9/11 hijackers did not want the passengers as hostages, the passengers were "in the way" and had to be controlled. Witness what
happened on Flight 93 when passengers figured out what was going to
happen. They wanted the planes - no normal flight crew was going to
fly plane into building, no matter how much pressure was applied. 9/11
hijackers killed the flight crew and were trained to fly plane - at least
the basics in handling an aircraft.
To carry out 9/11 took large group (19 hijackers, at least 4 trained to
fly), high degree of planning and training which required 2 years to under take.
