hot dogs can't melt steel beams
post
I would use your mom. She goes down so easily.
jenga towers?
Dried ramen? You'll need to fill the weiners with fuel, if you haven't already.
Paper walls. Maybe popsicle stick framing. If regular paper is too thick still, that thin stuff you use for gift bags should be ok. Or if you're really desperate tissues or low quality toilet paper.
Uh, spaghetti and blu tack? It would probably need extra weight though. Reinforced wet sand?
For what purpose?
Office prank. It doesn't need to be scientific, the towers dont need to catch fire but if the hotdog goes through them and it takes a moment to collapse then that is ideal.
I was considering jello towers but that might require a lot of food engineering unless I use like little smokies for the planes.
What level of accuracy are you looking for? The towers weren’t destroyed by the jets; they punched holes in the side and damaged the overall structural integrity while starting massive fires and causing glass to shatter.
The towers were demolished after the fact via controlled explosive charges because they were no longer safe to enter.

Source on that? Wikipedia seems to say that they suffered a progressive collapse on their own in part because of structural damage from the hits, in part from fires heating the steel supports enough to seriously weaken them.
