And how fast were they supposed to collapse instead of near free fall speed. Got any numbers for me? Once again no "everybody knows" crap etc assuming were are all experts like you. Just some numbers please. I have no clue how fast buildings are supposed to fall down and you seem to know all about it.
Why do you keep assuming things? I have never claimed that the building falling in its footprint was a smoking gun... I was just responding to your questions which insinuated that there's no other way a building could fall... I find curious tho that two 100 storey buildings and one 50 storey building fell into their own footprint but I am no expert, I am aware of that... I'll add tho that many experts find it impossible...

As far the speed the building should have fell... I think computer generated models were made to test that... Look it up, I wont take your hand and do all the work for you... Look at both the nist models as well as the models made by other experts... If I remember correctly, it was around 22 sec... but look it up and decide for yourself...
