Ok, then you can put your mind at ease. It took 11 seconds vs a 9.2 seconds freefalling from 1,368ft with an initial velocity of zero.
Maybe you could build something that collapses slower than that with the weight of 10 floors (22,000-55,000 tons without office equipment) crashing down on the lower floors on the same budget.
Freefall speed is the speed it would take gravity alone to bring something to the ground.
Any amount of resistance should make a fall a little slower than that.
