WTC towers avg. 10 seconds to collapse (NIST) because of (officially) a truss failed overloading other trusses and causing them to fail, the causing all the columns to fail even in 70 untouched floors and causing global collapse in < 11 seconds in both cases.
IDK... seems like the bridge should have collapsed in < 1 second per. 9/11 gravity magic.

this is so sad, you have no idea what you are talking about
