Did anyone notice that on one of the tower collapse videos that one corner column remained standing for a moment after the collapse before it dropped vertically, probably due to buckling near the base. I'm not sure what the significance of this is, only that it means something.

Whoa -- good point! I recall seeing bits of junk arcing away from the towers in the videos and descending faster than the collapse wave, but I never made the connection -- it shows that they were not moving at "full free-fall" speed, no matter what was claimed about them.
