I am not aware of timing analyses of the "booms" beyond the visual representation proffered in the film. But if in fact that oscilloscope-like graphing does indicate an even spacing of sounds, then we are hard-pressed to believe that unassisted failings would occur so ... evenly.
Since the floors were evenly spaced at 12'-9" they represent a possibility of regular staccato sounds when collapsing.
If the speed of collapse was 20 mph then there would be 4 floor collisions per second... if the speed was 10mph the rate of collisions would be less than a second per impact.
So why is it not possible that the loud noise was the truss letting go following by a parade of equally spaced impacts since the floors were equally spaced?
How bout that?
