Don > The problem is how the building accelerated to a point where it was possible to create the dust in the first place. Then continued to accelerate in spite of the energy being consumed by smashing things on the way down, and in spite of the fact much of the initial weight had spilled over the sides and was no longer in contact with the buildings.

As I see it, the building didn't accelerate at all. In my opinion, it transformed into dust while still standing, leaving only the fragments of supporting steel to fall, which they did -- at virtually the same speed as if they fell in free space.
