Newton's first law of motions tats that every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
The predominate force acting on the buildings when they fell was gravity. What force would cause the buildings to fall to the side?

oh man. you're quoting newton? i don't study this bullshit like some people. it was just a passing comment. a plane SMASHES into one side of a building, so you would assume that side should be much weaker than the other, yet the whole thing goes as if all four sides were hit. just my 'simple' thinking. sorry.
