Freefall is not about speed, it's about acceleration, so just because some debris is falling faster does not imply that the building did not fall at freefall. The debris started falling first, though it had the same freefall acceleration it had been falling for longer so had reached a higher speed, that's what you're seeing.

There are thousands on the case, the number is growing every day. You would need to back up such a statement with a source otherwise people will think you've simply made it up.
