The damage path goes right into the side of WTC7...….it can't be anymore obvious.
I was watching a program last night that they were worried a second plane was going to hit the pentagon. They told everyone to move 500 yards away from the building. I don't remember that. Maybe it was flight 93.
I think it was heading to building seven. Because it didn't arrive they had to blow it.I was under the impression flight 93 was heading to the capitol or white house.

I still think it's amazing that the short-lived X Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen, had an episode in March of 2001 in which bad guys try to crash a plane into the World Trade Center. Truly creepy.
B-25. Much smaller plane with a fraction of the fuel - fortunately.

Conspiracy theories foster among those who have never set foot in Manhattan.
Those were real planes that hit those towers - we have friends and acquaintances that were inside them when they hit. A teacher I know was in the Verizon building just next door who was very descriptive. A coworker of mine was on the Tappan Zee Bridge at the time and actually saw one of the planes at dangerously low altitude and extreme speed follow the Hudson down, just like they said. My wife and I knew people who died in those towers. This is one of those times where we remember exactly where we were and what we were doing at the time.
It wasn't CGI, it wasn't missile it was exactly what it appeared to be; our fully fueled airliners piloted by Saudis and that's the thing nobody wants to talk about.
The other conspiracy theory that still floats around is that damned Hudson Valley Wave of UFOs. Jabberwocky, pure horseshit.
But horizontal force from the crashes was not the mechanism of collapse. Visibly, because the impacts did not induce significant horizontal movement of the towers. Further, no official account of the collapse of the towers claims that this was the mechanism of collapse, so what you wrote is irrelevant. The towers collapsed due to the force of gravity, and the reason was the weakening of structural steel members due to heating from fire. This mechanism of collapse has been observed in many steel structures that have collapsed in fire, and not just the Twin Towers.Me being a structural engineer by education, I've seen several interviews with more prominent structural engineers than myself, who did calculations and simulations etc., and they all said that passenger airliner can not bring down a skyscraper. Reason is very simple, skyscrapers are built to stand horizontal forces from winds that are, when summed up over whole face of skyscraper, an order of magnitude bigger then force produced by a single airliner. Twice so, because I would expect that are around estuary of Hudson river must be having extremely strong winds, since its facing an open ocean. So, these winds have a whole ocean behind themselves to pick up speed.
One can count that as science, not opinion.
