From Comment at YT video: my roommate did the follow up study on WTC-7 you mentioned for his primary PhD thesis out of Fairbanks Alaska (of 3 he did). So what he found was that you had to remove specific bracing parts on the core columns to reproduce the fall. Basically you had to dramatically compromise the lower floor core supports by removing certain brackets that would have limited shear forces, allowing it to buckle and collapse. His conclusion was "who knows wtf happened" Zhili Quan on that paper, my guy! I cheered him on at his graduation, he got the first call. I went to the dissertation too for this paper. I got to see him put that whole report together, he just basically was up all night every night on MATLAB trying to reproduce the real collapse as closely as possible.
