A 41 story building will start with 20 floors, then 19 then 18 and so on. As the collapse progresses it slows down as the weight of the falling part of the building destroys itself and it's mass is reduced until there is nothing left and the process stops.
Oh good. You've done the calcs. Can you provide them for us now?
I'm curious about what becomes of the mass as it descends and is reduced. Surely your calculations account for what happens to it, where it goes. But give me a hint, did those tons of steel and concrete evaporate? Then was was all that stuff they hauled away from ground zero?

don't have to as I am sure they already know that,
You don't want to because the real experts have stated that fire and impact damage had caused the collapse of the WTC buildings.

The steell beams were reduced to "rubble" and blew away in the wind? The thousands of tons of concrete blew away in the wind? Sure there was a lot of dust, but there was also a pretty huge pile of stuff that was hauled away. Thousands of tons of stuff. Large pieces of steel, chunks of reinforced concrete.
What about at "falling in it's own footprint" stuff? Is that bogus?
I'm not sure what your asking, the buildings were pulverized , yes that is true.

Structural steel was "pulverized?" Reinforced concrete was "pulverized?" And it just blew away in wind before it could impact lower floors.
What was that pile of debris that was hauled away? Those huge pieces of steel. Those huge slabs of reinforced concrete?

Interesting. Sixteen hundred tons of steel and concrete decking (the weight of each floor structure) just blew away in the wind before it could fall the next floor.
Tell me again what was hauled away?
Much of the building was pulverized, the non reinforced concrete was also, it all was for that matter, all that was left was the largest steel beams, and the rest of the steel. AS far as impacting lower floors read this again.

right before the building collapsed, firefighters (within the World Trade City Tower) reported *minimal fires in the
WTC Tower which they could quickly and easily extinguish. (Documented FDNY Firefighters Tapes)
Did you even read what I posted? it fell onto each floor until it was gone, in the process it was ejected until nothing was left. Thats where the natural gravity collapse stopped, and evidence of something else became evident.
