Of course all support was removed. How did the building fall straight down at free fall if all support was not removed simultaneously?


All support on every floor?? Are you kidding?? What kept the building together while it fell?

If on only one floor all columns simultaneously became "overstressed" that alone would be amazing.

Not if they were all stressed close to their limit. The first failure would immediately bring the rest past their limits. It would come down like a house of cards.
