What you have here is a perfect demolition where the building drops at free fall speed and collapses straight down (pancakes) with zero interference. The only way you could have zero structural interference is if you simultaneously severed the supporting structural beams below.

Buildings do not collapse in this manner otherwise. Not in the history of man kind has a building collapsed into its own footprint, at free fall speed, without a controlled demolition.
Actually, the building did NOT fall at free fall speed. Don't let a little thing like facts interrupt your expert oppinion though.
