Call me crazy, but I doubt engineers and architects design steel buildings to collapse from... gravity. Your scenario is quite ridiculous. Engineers design buildings to withstand static loads and wind loads. Not in general to withstand large impact loads. In no way would the bottom of the building have been designed to resist having the top fall ONTO it. Obviously there is a difference between a falling load and a static load. Engineers and architects don't have to design steel buildings not to collapse from gravity. They already conquered gravity when they built it. How did the load increase even if the top did spontaneously collapse? The bottom is still carrying the same amount of load.
