NIST Report The study has determined, based on photographs, that perimeter columns bowed inward on One WTC’s south face and Two WTC’s east face, “some” minutes prior to collapse. “Initiation of global collapse was first observed by the tilting of building sections above the impact regions” of both towers, says the report. One WTC tilted to the south and Two WTC tilted to the east and south and twisted in a counterclockwise motion.
