Physics doesn’t explain buildings freefalling at terminal velocity solely due to ‘weakened’ structural support from mid to top of the structure.
Yeah, people love to ignore this. Video of the fall just gets memory holed. When the building top fell down onto the damaged section, the sections below THAT weren’t damaged. It should have had an impact, topple one way or another due to the asymmetrical nature of the piece falling and then fallen over like a toppled tree. Instead it fell straight down and didn’t slow a bit when it “hit” the floors below that were still “intact”.
