Has there ever been a building that has collapsed at free fall speed from a fire burning over four floors for less than an hour, and if so can you tell me which one?

I know of none. If a plane hit it, and I know what you are hinting at, it would fall at an angle, if it fell at all. Boy they must really think we are stupid! I have seen video footage of the bombing of the world trade center and it looked just like the implosion of a building. It went straight down and collapsed in on itself. That is definitely an implosion. I have actually attended the implosion of a building. It was in Detroit. I live near there. And lot of people attended because it was a historic building filled with a lot of memories and a lot of people were sad to see it go, including me. A lot of people took bricks away as souvenirs.
Anyway, That was definitely an implosion. People who build skyscrapers take these precautions into account and I think a lot of people are being really dumb and way too bling and loyal to the point that it is dangerous. Something is very, very wrong.

Defenders of the official explanation that the jetliner crashes and fires induced the total destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 have been unable to cite even a single example of the total collapse of a skyscraper from any cause other than controlled demolition. Consequently they have cited collapse incidents that do not even remotely resemble the cases of the World Trade Center skyscrapers.
MIT Professor Thomas Eagar has cited the example of the McCormick Place Collapse as an example of the collapse of a steel-framed building induced by fire. However, the McCormick collapse involved only the building's roof, and the structure was not comparable to any part of WTC 1, 2, or 7.
A reviewer of a draft paper by Jones ( Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?) cited the Sampoong department store collapse to counter Jones' claim that the symmetry of the WTC collapses indicated demolition. However, available reports and photographs do not support the reviewer's claim that the collapse was symmetric, nor would the symmetry of the collapse of the five-story structure be relevant to the symmetry of the collapse of a skyscraper such as Building 7.
Other critics of Jones have cited the L'Ambiance Plaza building collapse, calling it a total progressive collapse. However, the L'Ambiance Plaza was under construction and apparently employed deficient temporary structures. Deficiencies in the incident's investigation prevent the accurate characterization of it as a progressive collapse.

I don't believe anyone has flown fully loaded airliners into skyscrapers before. Being as no one has done that how can we get data to prove or disprove that it is possible. Stop the conspiracy junk & -place the blame where it belongs, thugs who only care to kill inocent people no matter who they are.They are killing their own people every day.

No there has not been. The building were demolished.
