Incredibly so, considering that two 1/4 mile high buildings (WTC1 and 2) were brought down in under 12 secs each. And each fall virtually identical with the other (even though the aircraft didn't strike the buildings in the same way or at the same floor).

Indeed, the seismographic records from Palisades observatory, NY, recorded sharp oscillations, similar to a nuclear explosion in fact, and measuring 2.1 on the Richter scale for WTC2 and 2.3 for WTC1. By comparison, the "collapse" of WTC7 measured only 0.6.
