so you would answer that a pound of lead falls faster than a pound of feathers?
Were you expecting some sort of movie type "pause" where the failing columns hold out long enough for another group of people can get out of the building?
Once structures fail they tend not to "hold up" or create any resistence. Otherwise, wouldn't they then need to put charges on ALL floors in order to demo buildings?
