  1.  @POPJack1717  Well actually it took more like 16 seconds. The 10 second figure is the time it took for "the first exterior panels" to reach the ground. NIST has fostered this confusion by giving the 10-second number in both contexts at different times. That said, would you even perceive the building was collapsing at first? But still doubtful anyone would get out, and then you'd have to run fast or potentially get killed by all the debris falling outside near the entrance.

  2.  @amireallythatgrumpy6508  Agreed . But that means the lobby itself may still have been sustainable for 6 extra seconds, just saying, since everyone keeps saying 10 seconds. NIST is to blame for being so sloppy in their assessment.

  6. But they had about 16 seconds. Probably not much difference though.

  7. The total collapse time was more like 16 seconds. Not that that would make much difference.
