Yes, I'm sure that hundreds of tons of steel and concret that lost all of it's support is very strong.

Let me put an easy example so you understand.

You take a regular glas, put it on the ground, then take a bowling ball and drop it from 1 meter above the glas, once the bowling ball hits the glas, do you think the speed will continue to be constant? Or will the ball slow down because of the impact?

Now, this is very simple to understand. Its one of the most basic laws on earth. Yet at your age you dont understand it. Sad. Go and study basic physics.

Anyway, each floor on the twin towers should have slowned down the procces when the top of the building was falling down. But it didnt, the speed was constant. That means, each floor must have been fucked somehow. There has been no resistance. Why? Its impossible that it can happend from 2 planes.
I'm not sure what "glas" is it's hard to argue on this one. Do you mean glass?

I understand the laws of gravity. And while these laws of nature are generally set in stone, there are always exceptions.

If you drop a bowling ball from a certain height on to a sheet of glass, would it meet resistance and "slow down". Let's change the argument to make it more realistic. The question should be more like "If a stack of bowling balls glued to each other fell through a sheet of glass that was already weakened from a prior impact and that had partiall melted due to a fire. I think the fucking bowling balls would smash through the sheet of glass like it wasn't even there.

Tons of metal and concrete fell through what is really a hollow structure. It didn't meet resistance, but instead dragged or pushed it down. And I'm guessing it gained momentum on the way down which easily defeated any resistance.
