The mass of the upper floors is only slightly slowed by the relatively insignificant mass of the individual floors below as they impacted. Remember, the pancake does not start at the top, it starts at the point of impact, or possibly below. Also, both the above and below sections can pancake at the same time.
And there is no way the top floor ever reaches ground level, so the whole drop an object vs. the top of the building thing is silly.
A number of good scientific web sites on the collapse... Here is one relevant quote.

And the visible puffs of smoke well in advance of the collapse?
How about the disintegration of the building sections above the point of impact? Shouldn't the tops of the buildings remained intact until they hit the bottom?
What about reports of explosions from the basement, and throughout the building before the collapse?
Nevermind all the stuff about the pentagon (why does one of the world's most secure buildings only have video coverage of the impact from one crappy camera that records one frame every 2 seconds and took 4 years to be released?)
Or the stuff about WTC7 that came down looking like a text book building demolition after only limited fire from WTC1/2 debris? (Remember with the exception of WTC 1 & 2 only hours earlier, no steel buildings had ever collapesed due to fire... in one day we had 3?)
All I want is an explaination that addresses the observed destruction. I don't think there's a massive governement cover up... I think our government just doesn't bother to look into what really happend because the current story works to their advantage with regards to our forign policy. 9/11 as a pure terrorist attack is a great bargaining chip for use w/ American citizens... "You don't like the War in Iraq? Well, if we don't fight them overseas, they'll fight us here!"
All it would really take are 5 or 6 powerful people in on it (like the Silverstien fellow that bought the WTC and a few of his best buddies) to hire some Al Queda types to wire up the buildings and crash some planes into it. For the terrorists, they get to attack America, for Silverstien, he gets a new building and a few billion dollars in his pocket.

The secret wouldn't have to be shared by all that many people... and in fact there would only need to be maybe 5 people that were totally in on it. The rest of the people would know they were up to something nefarious, but they wouldn't know the extent of the conspiracy.
