NIST states on their website that the towers fell at freefall speeds. They calculated 9 seconds for the South Tower, 11 secs for the North tower.

Part of the problem with NIST's calculations is they're going by seismic data. The seismic data recorded the detonation sequence, not the actual collapse. The pieces of building weren't big enough to create the kind of seismic data we see.

Further, if you watch any video and time it yourself, actual collapse time is closer to 15 seconds. I'll even accept TDX's 18 seconds, but any more than that is pushing it.

If you have access to the video "9/11 Eyewitness", you can even hear and see that the detonation sequence was shorter than actual collapse. That's why the seismic data, i.e., NIST's calculations, differ from actual collapse times.
