Two kids fall out of a tree simultaneously from the same height. One kid falls and hits several branches on the way down. The other kid misses all the branches. Which kid hits the ground first?

RE: "I also can't figure out why anyone thinks a building cut or blown up would fall faster than one that is just barrelling it's way down floor by floor." That's because you're not very bright. It isn't possible to "barrell it's way down floor by floor" UNLESS THE SUPPORT HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT AHEAD OF THE COLLAPSE. Watch the footage of the first collapse. The top 30 floors were turned to powder BEFORE the lower 80 floors began to disintegrate. The video evidence totally refutes any possibility of the half witted pancake theories. If there was anything to the pancake theory, the top 30 floors would have pancaked from the bottom up, and the bottom 80 floors would have pancaked from the top down AT THE SAME TIME. It would have been flat out impossible for floor 80 to withstand the impact of the top 30 floors slamming against it until demolition of the top 30 was complete. That's why the first collapse took about 3 seconds longer than the second. Two sequences were involved which required restarting the 32 feet per second per second acceleration of gravity in the first implosion, where the implosion in the second collapse was continuous from top to bottom. Think of it as like a tag team in a relay race with two guys racing against one. The course is 110 feet. The first guy in the tag team stops to hand off the baton to the second at the 30 foot mark, as the other guy races past accelerating hard. The second guy then has to try catching up from standing still which he can't do because he didn't have the first 30 foot acceleration advantage. Additional evidence of controlled demolition in the first collapse is that the video shows the top 30 floors beginning to topple ahead of the collapse. The top of the building was pivoting on the central core and swinging outward. The core had to be taken out to stop the pivoting effect so the top wouldn't break off and fall over the edge. Picture cutting off the top third of a phone pole. The top swings out as the bottom rests on the lower two thirds of the pole. If you place charges from the bottom of the top third up, you can remove sections of the pole so the pieces come straight down. That's what shows up in the video. Download a clip of the first collapse and put your finger on the screen at the break point, then watch what happens. The top of the building is completely gone before anything starts happening to the bottom. No pancake.
