I like the claim that the Towers collapsed faster than the speed of gravity. Since the speed of gravity is the speed of light, the towers should have collapsed before we saw them collapse. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

That would be neat if true, but it is very, very wrong.
The speed of light is 3.0x10^8 m/s in any direction.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 toward the ground.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.
The speed of light is 3 x 10 to the 8th power meters per second.
But I agree with you that truthers are stupid. The building was falling measurably slower than free-fall.
