Leaves me wondering if they rigged up explosives to blow out an aircraft-shaped hole in the exterior steel columns.
A commercial airliner is constructed of the lightest possible aluminum and titanium materials. If you whip a soda can at a steel bridge at 500 mph, will it tear holes in the girders? No. It will go splat and the steel beams won't even notice anything came along. Wait - what if you fill the can with jet fuel? It will go splat and there might be a fireball if it ignites. But that fireball won't be hot enough to blow through steel. The engines might be heavy enough to take out a few steel columns, but not the wings.
What if you rig the building with explosives and then combine the video footage with a CGI "aircraft" to hit at the same spot as the explosives? The lower wing of one of the planes in a tight bank, passing BEHIND one of the tall buildings, is a little bit suspicious. And the aircraft that just sinks into the side of the tower without any splat is quite ridiculous. And then the nose of the aircraft that momentarily pokes out the opposite side of the tower is kind of weird.
This is all so hard to fathom. It's easier to accept that explosives were used than to think that a flimsy aluminum airframe blew out the side of the tower.
And then finally, there were some very experienced pilots that hopped into a simulator to see if they could fly the airliner into one of the towers. Guess what? None of them could do it. But idiots that had never flown an airliner were able to?

We've been duped.
