If you are talking about the first tower hit; yes, unless you were outside and looking up, you would have only heard the explosion (including me, in a building a few blocks away). But the 2nd plane was watched by 10s of thousands of people. I was evacuating by subway train to Grand Central, so wasn't at street level when the 2nd plane hit. But my co-workers over in NJ watched it, as did the thousands in Manhattan outside staring at the south tower while it was burning.
I was there. After the first plane hit the south tower, people flooded out of their office buildings and stood in lower Manhattan watching the fire. And later, the 2nd plane hit. I can't understand if anyone really believes the north tower wasn't hit by a plane.
I know people who saw the impact. They were co-workers working at a facility on the Hudson River in NJ. After the first hit, they went outside and watched the south tower burning, and then the 2nd plane came down the Hudson from the north and hit the north tower. I believe at least one of them was also outside when the first plane came down the Hudson River from the north, made a u-turn over the lower bay area, and then headed north to slam into the south tower. This is not rocket science and there were people who saw the 1st plane, just not as many as the 2nd plane.
