They don't show "free fall" speed. 10 seconds for 1 and 2. That's been timed by many people. 6.5 seconds for 7. Again timed and confirmed by many people. I've timed them myself. That's free fall speed for buildings of that height. They show that the buildings fell but no faster than would be expected from a gravity collapse with a moderate amount of resistance. Really? How long did it take for the towers, all three of them, to collapse? And how do you quantify the "moderate amount of resistance". How many additional seconds would that take over free fall? Show your assumptions and calculations.
