Take the time to read some of the technical papers at Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Avoid Jeff's YouTube clips. (sorry Jeff)
One 8 page paper on the momentum transfer analysis of the Twin Towers
concludes that the web of steel beams acts like a spring and as the first floor shifts (collapses) the energy would be transferred to the rest of the building until very soon any real collapse would STOP.

• Momentum Transfer Analysis of the Collapse of the Upper Stories of WTC 1
Gordon Ross Journal of 9/11 Studies
Yes, it is more likely that if any real collapse happened it would be very brief and then stop as compression and elasticity of the steel is transferred throughout the building to absorb and disperse any generated kinetic energy like a big strong spring.
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, NIST.
