I find it very hard to believe that the falling debris that caused damage to the building didn't factor into the collapse at all.

The report states the main cause of failure was heat to column 79. 79 was undamaged from wtc1.
The building did have significant damage though, from WTC 1 collapse

WTC collapses were due to removal of insulation and intense combustion caused by hundreds of gallons of jet fuel that weakened the support structures of the building.
What about the firefighters that reached the impact floors of the south tower and reported:

"Battalion Seven ... Ladder 15, we've got two isolated pockets of fire. We should be able to knock it down with two lines. Radio that, 78th floor numerous 10-45 Code Ones."
The firefighter also mentions that he has numerous survivors, so if that fire was so intense and the impact so great how did so many people survive? Im not ridiculing you Im just asking questions to conclusions that dont make sense.

Ladder 15: "What stair are you in, Orio?" Battalion Seven Aide: "Seven Alpha to lobby command post." Ladder Fifteen: "Fifteen to Battalion Seven." Battalion Seven Chief: "... Ladder 15." Ladder 15: "Chief, what stair you in?" Battalion Seven Chief: "South stairway Adam, South Tower." Ladder 15: "Floor 78?" Battalion Seven Chief: "Ten-four, numerous civilians, we gonna need two engines up here." Ladder 15: "Alright ten-four, we're on our way."
