I watched intently right up until they said the towers fell in 10 seconds and then showed the seismograph.
Just another notch in what appears to be an endless string of crap.

I am completely missing the argument of your statement, would you reiterate please?

For instance - the towers didn't fall in 10 seconds.

Somewhere between 14 to 18 seconds depending on which point you want to declare "it stopped". I have not ever seen the calculations that back the 14 seconds, but I've seen two different footages (and posted the calculations myself here) to show that WTC 1 took 16 seconds (at least).
wtc.nist.gov...
How could the WTC towers collapse in only 11 seconds (WTC 1) and 9 seconds (WTC 2)—speeds that approximate that of a ball dropped from similar height in a vacuum (with no air resistance)?
NIST estimated the elapsed times for the first exterior panels to strike the ground after the collapse initiated in each of the towers to be approximately 11 seconds for WTC 1 and approximately 9 seconds for WTC 2
wtc.nist.gov...
From video evidence, significant portions of the cores of both buildings (roughly 60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) are known to have stood 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation before they, too, began to collapse.

Concerning your question about where the reference is to the 10 seconds...I didn't pay attention to what the timetag was when they started talking about that.

But all of that is already known by most people discussing this issue. For instance, every bit of that has been discussed here time and again.
