NIST does say that the building fell at freefall for a portion (the greatest portion in their model):
http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/f..._qa_082108.cfm
"Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity"
Emphasis is mine. I was right and you were wrong. The building did fall at freefall acceleration. You are the one with an inability to learn. Maybe it's emotional though and not physiological since apparently you have no trouble lapping up whatever mess the government tells you to believe.
This doesn't prove the building was brought down on purpose but it makes the decision not to investigate it
properly, with the evidence, more regrettable.
But ultimately I agree with an earlier poster in that it doesn't really matter if one evil s.o.b. or another brought it down.
The fact is the attacks should have never been so unimaginably successful (hijackers probably flipping on all flights taking off on time ffs), and in the face of such criminal negligence on the part of security there should have been an actual investigation. Instead we got blatant obstructionism, lies about Iraq, and billed for 3 trillion. Oh yeah, and as a bonus the government used it to start a massive domestic surveillance program.
