Regarding the twin towers, you could think of them as "a building inside of another building." The inner structure was one structure, and the outer structure was another structure. (It was not merely a "skin," and referring to it that way implies a weakness, which is not valid.)
Each could stand on its own strength. The floors were attched to these two structures. It was a unique design, and the designer made it that way for the specific purpose of (a) being the tallest in the world at that time, they wanted extra strength, and (b) being in New York City, they were concerned that an airplane might hit one of them one day (which had already happened with the Empire State Building. So, it was designed to withstand multiple Boeing 707's -- largest at the time, and about the size of the planes that hit. The designer said a plane hitting it (even multiple planes) would be like sticking a pencil through mosquito netting, not because of the inner structure but because the outer structure was so strong.
There is no chance that the so-called "pancake theory" could be correct. There is no chance that they could just collapse like that. Unless, of course, both inner and outer structures were cut, just as witnesses attested to (seeing and hearing explosions).
Also, they were made of steel (as most skyscrapers are) partly due to heat transfering across the metal in case of fire. Heat does not concentrate in one are, but rather spreads across the structure so it won't concentrate. Therefore, claims that it "just melted" cannot be true.
