that’s what I thought at first also until I heard about the Pentagon and after I got home and turn on the TV in time to see the second plane hit the Towers.

Same here. Caught the second plane strike. The media asshats were still continuing to avoid the mention of a terror attack as long as they could.

When I turned the TV on and looked at the screen, I said “that...wasn’t a light plane.”

Day or two later, this message was told that the terrorists attacked because they hate us, period.
Her response was to repeat it in a rising nasal whine as if she couldn’t comprehend it.
“They haaaate us?!”
Didn’t see her on the air after that.

Don’t know if either of you had ever visited the WTC before the attack to see how solid the stainless steel were.
A light plane would have been like a fly on a wind shield. A Lear jet would have penetrated the wall but the hole would have been no where near the size of the multi-floor smash thru visible in the first broadcasts.

Here’s the funny part, I do not remember her name.
I was busy laughing at her though.

I’ve never had the privilege of visiting the WTC before 9/11/2001 but I think I saw the first floor entrance while I was on a bus on the was to I think it was JFK Airport for our flight to Italy back in 1994. but I can’t be sure as it was at night. so I cant really say I’ve been to the WTC.

My father worked on elevators, so we went there to wander about and fiddle with the elevators back in the 80’s.
Part of the reason I turned the TV on was the fact that a light plane would have merely splattered, maybe busted in some windows.

A small plane hitting the towers would have been like a fly hitting a small plate, not much damage wise.

When you design your own, it will be complicated by needing to have a small rocket facing forward to the flight path, so that a column of gas will be made for the rest of the rocket to travel within.
In this way, the slowing effect of the water will not delay the torpedo’s flight.

Super cavitation.
There’s a torpedo called the shkval that uses it.
