It would just mean the aluminum shreds that much quicker.
Thank you. Take your hammer and smash a lead bullet with it. Now shoot that lead bullet at a steel plate.
It's not the same thing. In addition to the properties of the materials, there's also the force per area consideration. In the case of a bullet, it's has a small surface area but tremendous force, so it punctures.
In the case of Aluminum v. steel, aluminum can easily puncture steel... if you make it small enough and apply enough force, like an aluminum needle shot from a railgun. In a one to one comparison however, aluminum is far weaker than steel. No aluminum airplane wing is going to go through a steel beam, no matter how fast it's going. It just isn't small enough (too much surface area) and isn't going fast enough (not approaching the speed of light). In the case of a wing, it's also not solid, but a shell. Most of the wing is hollow.
If the airplane above hit that lamp post at high speed it would be obliterated. It would probably knock the lamp post over (because of the strength of concrete) and would probably bend the steel in the post, but it would destroy the wing long before the lamp post broke. The lamp post also isn't solid, and built into a lattice to enhance it's strength, like the beams of a building are.
These both sound dangerous. In any case, what happens?
The lead bullet punches right through the steel. There are other considerations i.e. the comment above this one, but the weight and mass of that plane traveling at 500 miles an hour, hitting something that wasn't designed for side impact.
The fact all 3 buildings fell that same day in the same exact manner is all the smoking gun you need
If that wing was a solid single billet of aluminum, Id say it's worst testing it out. But its not. It shouldnt take much to realize planes are built to be as light as possible. The skeletal frame of the wing mashing through the exterior of the building plus everytjing else in the building, not going to cut steel beams.
Also think of it this way. Steel is harder than dirt. When planes crash to the ground, the wings leave little damage to dirt. If speed and wieht were a factor there would be 50ft deep craters when a plane crashes.
