In the case of Champlain Towers, it was a classic CD, and it's mass fell through the air, to the ground
Objects fall in air, they are not 'pulled down' to Earth, from a magical force within Earth.
At sea level, air pressure will push on the mercury at the open end and support a column of mercury about 30 inches high. If you used water instead of mercury, you would need a glass tube over 30 feet in length.

Ok…
Let’s start small…
Then please explain how a less dense 20 pound styrofoam block can make a more dense steel spring lengthen in a spring scale in accordance with Hooke’s law.
Then what causes tides, high tides, and tidal bores if you think there is no gravity.
Bridge Collapses After Overweight Semi-Truck Tries to Cross It
The truck had been carrying a load much heavier than the stated maximum amount the single-lane bridge could sustain.

Why would a brick thrown straight up into increasingly less dense air stop, change direction to accelerate into increasing dense air instead of just continuing to accelerate away from earth into increasingly less dense air?

You didn’t answer the question
Why would a brick thrown straight up into increasingly less dense air slow down faster than what can be attributed to air resistance stop, change direction to accelerate into increasing dense air instead of just continuing to accelerate away from earth into increasingly less dense air?
In you model of density, the brick should accelerate into the less dense air father away from the earth.
I've already explained this to you, over and over again, if you don't understand it, that's your problem, since it's been explained to you, very clearly, many times already.
Mobile Crane Counterweights – an Important Safety Factor

Using the following mathematical formula, while designing the component, will minimize possible risks and secure reliable counterbalance:
P = V x μ x g
Where P is the weight of the required counterweight; V – its volume; μ – is the density of the material of which the counterweight was made of and g – the gravitational constant (9.81).
Regenerative brake
Crystal Palace-Croydon (1906), and many others. Slowing the speed of the cars or keeping it in control on descending gradients, the motors worked as generators and braked the vehicles.

Tidal Energy or Tidal Power as it is also known, is another form of hydro power that exploits the vast energy source of the oceans tides to generate electricity. Tidal Energy is a “sustainable energy source”, as the Earth uses the gravitational forces of both the moon and the sun everyday to move vast quantities of water around the oceans and seas producing tides.
As the Earth, its Moon and the Sun rotate around each other in space, the gravitational movement of the moon and the sun with respect to the earth, causes millions of gallons of water to flow around the Earth’s oceans creating periodic shifts in these moving bodies of water. These vertical shifts of water are what we call “tides”.

Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station, South Korea – 254MW
With an output capacity of 254MW, the Sihwa Lake tidal power station located on Lake Sihwa, approximately 4km from the city of Siheung in Gyeonggi Province of South Korea, is the world’s biggest tidal power plant.
The project, owned by Korea Water Resources Corporation, was opened in August 2011 and utilises a 12.5km long seawall constructed in 1994 for flood mitigation and agricultural purposes. Power is generated on tidal inflows into the 30km2 basin with the help of ten 25.4MW submerged bulb turbines. Eight culvert type sluice gates are used for the water outflow from the barrage.
