I would not argue with anything from 9.0 to 9.8m/s^2. If there had been IMAX cameras we could do better. It is somewhat arbitrary where one picks the start and finish. NIST picked slightly different points and got a slightly higher value. If the true value is 9.0 instead of 9.8, then only 8% of the force needed to hold up the building remained to slow its fall. Not 8% of the structure, but 8% of the bare minimum to hold it up!
Can you post the actual interpolated polynomial? I couldn't read it.
Nice work!

It is certainly easier than counting frames!
