Buildings collapse into their own footprint

Earthhquakes collapse buildings at near free-fall speed into footprints as their concrete turns to dust......
Atomized concrete dust
It was a concrete building. And concrete does indeed turn to dust when pulverised, not "atomised". Also, what does "near free-fall" have to do with anything?
 
Even that idiot Gage got it after a few years; it's free-fall acceleration, not free-fall speed.
Really, I thought it was speed, gravity accelerates you until the force from wind friction is equal to the force of gravity and you stop accelerating?

That's terminal velocity, which by definition is not free fall because it includes an additional force, air resistance, to that from gravity; free fall is defined as motion subject only to gravitational force.

Is the expectation that a collapsing building should pop off down the block a ways and collapse in some other buildings foitprint?
 
I'm not clear what significant thing we're expected to infer from a concrete building which falls down rather than, perhaps, toppling over like a felled tree.

I'm also confused. Doesn't it prove that even buildings which are not being professionally demolished can collapse straight down? Wasn't that one of the CT nutters beliefs, that the WTC was demolished?
 
Maybe the point is that they were also 'dustified' as part of some grand conspiracy.
 
Seems this building did not actually dustify. It took a number of months to remove all the steel and concrete debris.

Wait... Concrete?? Didn't that all dissolve? Or could it be that most tall buildings are just space frames forming boxes. So they appear as big solid blocks, but are actually mostly air.
