<<< The buildings collapsed at free fall speed. That's a notable piece of evidence that no study has addressed. Should it be ignored? >>> No, it should be explored and explained. Several independent groups should determine how much upwards force a buckled column (per the Tower's various column specs) exerts and calculate how much that would slow the collapse. They should look at how the columns buckled, how long it takes for them to buckle and how fast they loose there supportive function when buckling. This should prove that they provide minimal upwards support once buckled and that the buckling process takes fractions of a second (Jones agrees to this aspect). This should equate to a very small delta in time for a freefall vs time during this type of collapse. They should study the freefall vs. almost freefall speed and see which is correct.
