It burned for 24 hours and didn't collapse. How long did the South tower burn? 45 minutes or so...
Here's a few interesting quotes:
Kind of what you would expect huh? Weakened portions of the building giving way little by little, small collapses here and there. Nothing like the perfectly symmetrical collapse at the rate of freefall that happened TO THREE BUILDINGS IN ONE DAY in New York.

Look at this building:
It looks a thousand times worse than any of the trade towers did, and it's still standing.
