So if the building "toppled like a tree" then at that time (half way through) it should be tilted FOURTY FIVE degrees, not 10.
As I said, it *began* by toppling like a tree,
No. You can see in second 2 of your video that it begins with only the penthouse disappearing inside the building. See these pictures.

You keep focusing on the minor tilt, because it's irrelevant.
The tilt is not minor. It is the major part of the initial movement, possibly the entirety of the initial movement. https://blog.jim.com/images/building_7_collapse.gif The penthouse does not collapse into the building. Rather it goes out of sight because the building is tilting away from the camera to the south. The image below, shot from the east side, shows it half way through its fall, transitioning from falling sideways like a tree, to collapsing downwards like a building. https://blog.jim.com/images/building_7_collapse.jpg After about two or three seconds into the collapse it starts to fall downwards, as if in a demolition, but the start of the collapse is that building seven tilts and rotates sideways like a tree falling towards the notch cut by the axeman.
