34. The top of the building starts to collapse BEFORE...........
......the dust etc. starts to billow out. We could argue over fractions of a second here and I doubt I could convince you but you have to concede that the video is misleading ( I think intentionally ) because it highlights, by reversing and forwarding, the billows effect CLEARLY AFTER the collapse was well under way.
