Ginja, you clearly don't understand how wind resistance works. Some objects have considerably less of it, some have considerably more (ie: a relatively flat pieces that can catch the air vs sharp or round objects that are more streamlined).
What you are suggesting doesn't support anything. The top of the building hits the ground in under 11 seconds, which is a number compatible with freefall + wind resistance.
So you are completely wrong.
The fact the building started to lean but then stopped mid air is equally ridiculous and just shows that it would have collapsed as I said in the post above unless of course the remaining support was pulled out in a symmetrical fashion (which it was, with explosives or some other similar kind of force that most certainly was not jet fuel).
Again, you folks believe that when you smash a car fast enough into something it won't lose any speed.
As far as the static vs dynamic thing is concerned, there wasn't anything to turn this into a large dynamic load unless huge sections of support columns magically disappeared simultaneously to avoid the building tipping over into the street. And even if it was a large dynamic load, the lower building wouldn't offer no resistance at all and it wouldn't happen symmetrically. But of course that isn't what happened.
