I am speaking of Steven Jones the former BYU professor. How anybody can give his magic thermate theory any credence is beyond me. Firstly, Steven Jones still thinks that Pons and Fleischmann of cold fusion infamy were right and that their findings were "silenced" and he is still active in cold fusion research. Second and even more damning should be seen by who his employer is (I mean was). Steven Jones is a Mormon. Nothing is wrong with that as there are myriads of religious people in the world. Where the problem lies is that he has written a paper that there is scientific and archeological evidence that Jesus walked the Americas. Both of the reasons above show that Steven Jones has zero critical thinking skills and his science skills are severely lacking. How anyone gives him credence on 9/11 is beyond foolishness.
Glad I didn't have to add this myself. I will add that the architects and engineers who grouped together for '9/11 truth' (I can't remember their group name nor am I inclined to look it up) - out of all those guys, if I recall correctly, there's not anyone involved in that movement who's actually qualified to build / assess buildings higher then a few stories.

Do you agree with what Jesse says (along with others in the '911 truther' movement) about the buildings falling at 'free fall' speed?

Simple Laws of physics would say that the buildings would collapse after X amount of time. The North Tower, which got struck by a plane first by nearly 15 minutes, fell down about 30 minutes after the South Tower collapsed. it would only seem logical that the North tower which burned nearly 45 minutes longer would have collapsed sooner than the other.
The laws of physics will only produce the same result under the same conditions. Two different planes hit them in different places, different heights, at different times of day and possibly at different levels of fuel capacity.
