IN response to this post.
Don't feel bad, the person who created it can't explain it with their limited knowledge of physics, either.
Try doing the analysis on the entire film, instead of a still shot where they are following the arc of a cloud created from multiple pieces of debris, and pretending it came froma single source.
Not to mention, as you continually point out in a desperate attempt to hold onto some shred of credibility, it was a highly chaotic situation. Or do you believe every piece of debris thrown out went out at a uniform speed and with non-intersecting paths, so each and every piece would make nice, parabolic arcs?
OF course, I'm sure with your plasma physics degree you knew this.

Not to mention that they ignore the fact that a HUGE FREAKING BUILDING is falling right in the middle of the cloud. And they apparently think this happens in a vacuum, and that the air it would pull down behind it doesn't affect the dust and smoke.
That is true Huntsman, I cannot physically understand the process. I'm able to reproduce Greening's first stage of collapse result (without excel) but only using his theoretical simplified model.
For a new model you need new observations, new estimatioins, new calculations and you get new results. Ever seen this Huntsman ?

Forgive me if I cannot explain it with my limited knowledge of physics, I can't
