Ha! With a name like Fast Glass I was hoping you had the answer to the question: "What is the terminal velocity of a 24-105 f/4 L". How disappointing.
Adobe, give us courage to edit what photos must be altered, serenity to delete what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.

My favorite one was: "it zoomed right through the roof"
To answer the OP's question, based my on calculations (using California's mean altitude of 2900 ft above sea level), the Canon 24-105mm f/4 L ISwould have hada terminal velocity of approximately 142 ft/sec.
5000$ worth of damage????I don
