Could this have been anything other than a controlled demolition?

Yes.
Julian Turner
Closeup videos very clearly show the columns buckling at the start of collapse.

Building 7 is CONFIRMED for controlled demolition. They said so themselves because they wanted to reduce damage to the other buildings, and they were caught on tape saying to "pull it" just 3 seconds before it fell.
How did they find time to plan out a controlled demolition and lay explosives, while the building was on fire though? Unless it was already done before the building caught fire.

It was a controlled demolition.
There I no other way it could collapse at near freefall velocity.
Gavin Johnson
Why wouldn't it collapse at near freefall velocity?
Why would a controlled demolition make it "suddenly" able to fall at freefall velocity?
Cooper Reyes
Because it would be slowed down by the resistance proved by the floors beneath it.
In a controlled demolition the individual floors are detonated sequentially so that the building collapses straight downwards to avoid damage to the surrounding structures. This removes the resistance of the floors beneath it.
David James
if the government or whoever was behind this was keen on causing destruction and the death of thousands of people, why would they give a fuck about the surrounding structures

So controlled demolition makes floors just poof out of existence?

1 - the towers very clearly didn't fall perfectly straight down
2 - you can't just make a 200x200 ft slab of concrete, let alone 110 of them, fly to the side for no reason; of course it fell down straight
3 - there has never been a controlled demolition of a supertall, and probably never of a highrise either
