Easily broken apart? We're not talking about kicking it with a nice shiny boot.. a plane flew into it at hundreds of miles per hour ffs
And like i said.. Once the support beams were damaged, you know.. the things holding those floors up.. they would have lost a lot of structural integrity.
But planes are made out of thin and delicate lightweight materials. They are designed to fly, not be wrecking balls.
And once the "support beams" (btw, what the hell are you talking about? There were perimeter columns, floor trusses, spandrel plates, the core structure and a final "hat trusses" at the top, all of which contributed to holding up the floors) were taken out, there was still an abundance of structural members to maintain the building's integrity.
After the intitial blasts that created the "plane hole" by severing perimeter columns and spndrel plates, there was no doubt some sagging of the structure, and supposing there was a hot enough fire there could have been - at best - some partial collapsing of the outer part of the structure on the affected sides.
