Simulation of a motor-car crashing headlong into a concrete wall @ progressively higher-&-higher speed upto 300㎞/h ≈ 186½mph…

… & also into a 10ton truck @ the highest speed.

A simulation video I've just found of the collapse of the South Tower of the Twin Towers in New York ...
https://youtu.be/WpHXj62Ylw0
... which kindof yells that it might-well be the most realistic simulation to-date & readily publically available (ie excluding simulation that might've been done by some laboratory on a supercomputer & not been released into the Public Domain - that kind of thing, that might or might-not exist) of what the collapse of the South Tower would look like with all the dust removed. It's only on the basis of what can be made-out through the dust in the real footage + intuition about how such a building would collapse that I venture this ... but I have an inkling it isn't very 'far from the mark'. It's certainly the most convincing simulation I've seen so-far, put it that way.
As to one particular item: that remaining standing for a little while of a few hundred foot of the core: that can be made-out in certain of the footage of the collapse of the South Tower. It's not as plainly apparent as it is in the case of the North Tower - in which case it was, as is widely shown, very apparent ... but it was there .
