Sure, that is why Scientific American mentions Potential Energy.
When released, the accumulated potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. With a mass of about 500,000 tons (5 x 108 kilograms), a height of about 1,350 ft. (411 meters), and the acceleration of gravity at 9.8 meters per second 2, he came up with a potential energy total of 1019 ergs (1012 Joules or 278 Megawatt-hours). "That's about 1 percent of the energy released by a small atomic bomb," he noted.

Any calculation assuming uniform mass distribution is incorrect and unscientific.
Bazant and MIT dish out the same BS.
you do relise bin-laden was schooled in industrial engineering supposedly
& had done all his own figures
the planes were flown with precision
the hijackers had lots of practice
& the us engineers agreed they had miscalculated the strength on multi piece short length steel framing
which would have reduced strength of mass sheer
it probably loads as it falls
which gives it an INCREASING force as it gathers mass going down
if u want to start getting properly technical
it cant fall faster than gravity
because obviously
but with each floor it gathers energy instead of loosing it
then once you have those basic figures
you can then start to add the frequency impact waves running increased pressure loading on to the structure causing a probable harmonic vibration which then reduces the strength of the bolts as EVERYTHING sings at that pitch
an increasing pitch
as
the fall continues
it drops dense mass on to vibrating mass which doesn't like to be vibrated
so the liquid(steel in its cold state being a cooled liquid)
cant stand the sheer factor ripping its self apart
just keeping it fairly simple
im sure some of the more skilled people can get technical with figures for you
