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.
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.
