I hadn't heard about the freefall time as the evidence of explosives before, but now that I think about it, it makes sense.
Assuming a close to freefall as possible scenario, where the lower floors that haven't broken already are on the verge of doing so, so the only slowdown they cause the upper floors is transfer of momentum (with zero energy required for the actual breakage), the fall time would be almost doubled, to around 14s instead of 8s. (Will calculate more exactly later, maybe). Since the lower floors weren't even burning, there would be significant energy lost to the breakage as well, and the time should have been more than double, if explosives were not involved.
You have no clue what you are talking about so why don't you just STFU.
I mean really, you make yourself look like a total jackass.
Why don't you read the tread and then be in a position to make an intelligent post.
