The point is, you seem to think that a demolished building would fall faster than one that just collapsed. Why? I don't know if I said that or not but the fact is that a demolished building would have less resistance going down because all support is gone whereas a collapsing building would never fall into it's own footprint and would meet uneven resistance going down so it would fall all over the place.

Buildings just don't fall down by themselves. The only other place you will find buildings collapsing is in Iraq, or with controlled demolitions. The common denominator is explosives. Even in major Earthquakes buildings rarely collapse completely. A building has an inner strength that prevents it just from all falling down at once. There are zero reasons why the twin towers would fall down all at once. The things were built very strongly indeed. Check out how much work needs to be done to get a building (even a really shoddily built hi rise) to collapse in a controlled demolition. Only a Bush would be arrogant enough, and foolish enough, to think people could be bullshitted into believing that happened naturally. It never happened before. It won't happen again, and 911 will be a monument to political corruption on a global scale for future generations to wonder "how could people have allowed that to happen". Just another piece of history I guess.
