So, how come no one is asking why are there ejected pieces of the building on the first place?

As the building collapses the air inside blows out of the windows. Some burning object close to the window will be blown outside trailing smoke behind.
Why are the simplest things such a mystery to some people?

Aaah ok so I am too stupid and you are clever. Excellent argument, that settles it.

You seem be confused about the meaning factual and logical. You can create a perfectly logical conclusions based on incorrect facts.
Logic (from the Greek λογική logikē)[1] is the formal systematic study of the principles of valid inference and correct reasoning.
An example of a valid argument is given by the following well-known syllogism:
All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man.
Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
What makes this a valid argument is not that it has true premises and a true conclusion, but the logical necessity of the conclusion, given the two premises. The argument would be just as valid were the premises and conclusion false. The following argument is of the same logical form but with false premises and a false conclusion, and it is equally valid:
All cups are green.
Socrates is a cup.
Therefore, Socrates is green.
No matter how the universe might be constructed, it could never be the case that these arguments should turn out to have simultaneously true premises but a false conclusion. The above arguments may be contrasted with the following invalid one:
All men are mortal.
Socrates is mortal.
Therefore, Socrates is a man.
In this case, the conclusion does not follow inescapably from the premises. All men are mortal, but not all mortals are men. Every living creature is mortal; therefore, even though both premises are true and the conclusion happens to be true in this instance, the argument is invalid.
LOL, hilarious. Logic is correct reasoning (rational thought), the logic form of any valid argument, you can not reason correctly if you use incorrect facts, or they are not valid. Where do get your reasoning from?
Logic is the formal science of using reason. It is considered a branch of both philosophy and mathematics. One of the aims of logic is to identify the correct (or valid) and incorrect (or fallacious) inferences. Logicians study the criteria for the evaluation of arguments. Logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The scope of logic can therefore be very large, ranging from core topics such as the study of fallacies and paradoxes, to specialized analyses of reasoning such as probability, correct reasoning, and arguments involving causality.

Yeah, like the air pressure is only going to increase slowly because of the volume of the building allowing air to flow down the elevator shafts and stairwells. People that want to believe ridiculous crap can come up with ridiculous rationalizations. 4 ton girder hurled 600 feet by air pressure.

Can you please tell me how much explosives it would take to hurl said girder?
thanks, - S.S.

You obviously have never heard of wind resistance!
Even then, you picked one instance of this thread and totally disregarded the rest.
The rest? An arrow pointing to a boat, and a mast that fell down because the building supporting it fell down....

In any case, wouldn't wind resistance act to slow projectiles down rather than speed them up?

That example explains valid argument, not logic lol.
Logic is the science of valid inference, derived from given facts, not incorrect information.
When a valid argument is used to derive a false conclusion from false premises, the inference is valid because it follows the form of a correct inference.
