John, if you weaken (not melt, weaken) structural members of a building 
3/4 of the way up, then it is entirely possible -- no, probable -- that 
the weight of the top 1/4 of the building will no longer be supported by 
those members and start falling.

Now, you may have noticed that if you jump from a low stool onto your 
bathroom scales, the scales will not read your weight but in fact will 
register something like five to ten times your weight. That's the force 
of impact of you landing on the scales and the scales trying to stop you.

So it is entirely possible -- no, probable -- that the force of impact 
of 1/4 of the building falling on intact stories below it, multiplied by 
a factor of five or ten by its fall, will be more than those members are 
sized to support, resulting in the collapse of the lower portion of the 
building.
