The best (honest) scientists worldwide have shown that the top portions of the Main WTC buildings (1 & 2) both fell significantly faster than the laws of gravity allow

That won't fly because the video proved that at no time did the WTC building completely collapse at free fall speed, which was evident by the fact that debris, which are falling at free fall speed, are seen outpacing the collapse of the WTC Tower and striking the ground while the collapse is still in progress many stories above ground level, hence, the WTC Tower is not falling at free fall speed.
The following photo validates the video that I posted.

Notice that the collapse is not indicative of a controlled demolition implosion.

What you are looking at are low-velocity compressed air squibs, and nothing to do with explosives.
Brent Blanchard: World Leading Demolition Expert
Brent Blanchard is a demolition expert; he serves as Operations Manager for Protec Documentation Services, a world leader in engineering and vibration consulting for explosive demolition projects. He's also a senior writer and editor at the website Implosionworld.com.
Undicisettembre: Since you already mentioned thermite, let's proceed with this topic. What do you think of thermite? Is it even vaguely possible to demolish the Twin Towers and 7 World Trade Center with thermite?
Brent Blanchard: No. In explosive demolitions thermite is never used.
The thermite assertion first came out three or four years after the event; there was no talk of thermite until 2004 or 2005. All of a sudden this new theory came out because all other theories were very easily proved impractical or impossible.
There was a professor over here in States that decided back then that thermite was his new theory, but the more you look into thermite the more you understand that the way it causes the metal to fail is not consistent with what happened. Then he changed his theory into nano-thermite and now he might even come out with double-nano-thermite. There are always variations that pop up about how thermite might have been used.
In order for thermite to work you have to have a release of the chemical and the chemical has to actually cause the steel to deteriorate. I don't how they think it can be done to an H-beam, or to any very thick steel beam. Thermite doesn't work horizontally, it works vertically. You can't cause thermite to cut horizontally through steel. You can't attach thermite to a bunch of columns, dozens and dozens of columns, and expect it to start cutting clean through all those columns at a predetermined time or especially finish at the same time. I don't understand how it can even theoretically occur. And it's never been articulately explained by the theorists.
Thermite folks just tend to assert that a bunch of guys went in there, put thermite on columns that happened to already be exposed, them somehow triggered it all, and the thermite somehow cut horizontally through a bunch of columns at the same time and caused the building to fail. That makes no sense whatsoever.
Undicisettembre: A question I heard recently is: if thermite had been used, would it have produced a lot of light that would have been clearly visible from outside?
Brent Blanchard: It would have created a whole lot of light. It would have created a lot of fire, a lot of flame, of glow, smoke, all prior to the collapse. It didn’t, because there was no thermite.

Thermite
There were 9/11 conspiracy theorist who'd claimed that these photos are evidence that thermite was used to demolish the WTC buildings.
Photo 1: Truther Evidence of Thermite Cuts at Ground Zero
Photo 2: Truther Evidence of Thermite Cuts at Ground Zero
Now, for the rest of the story as to how those cuts at ground zero were truly made.

David Chandler has been discredited after he was caught spewing disinformation.
When Will David Chandler Fix His Errors?

Remember that you do not have to prove anything. All you are asked to do is describe how it could have been done so we can examine the possibilities. Explosives used? Quantities? Placement? Stemming? Mechanism of dem
For the towers I think non conventional means were used..
