At 500 MPH or so the plane is not hitting a SOLID wall of steel. The mass of the plane drives into and cuts through the external framework and most of the the fuselage and wings is driven through the opening.
If you are interested here is a computer visualization showing the damage from the airplane strike on the building frame:

Here is information posted here on F/R on a number of things including the effect of heat on steel over time. (It deforms and loses strength and sags.)
Pete I appreciate your earnestness but sadly what we all witnessed on 911 was more than likely Project Blue Beam which created holographic images of planes striking the towers as explosives were detonated.
Just for the sake of curiosity you and other Freepers might want to watch today’s podcast of And We Know on Rumble. Its hard to accept that your own govt killed 3,000 people so that they could go into Iraq and take control of the oil, pass the Patriot Act and bring us all closer to a one world govt of socialism/totalitarianism. Its just easier to believe it was 9 dumbazz muslims that flew commercial airliners like F16’s.

Also an extended view of video taken by Cynthia Wells: I started at about the time of the 2nd strike. There is sound and you can hear the plan approaching and then the sound of impact. I do not see demolition explosives producing the explosion that follows the strike. This is a fuel/air explosion.
(Laying aside this history and returning to our current interesting times.)
Well Pete……you’re correct and I agree. That’s weird, eh?
Good post.
I’ll add this just to help…….
Jet fuel burns hotter and long than diesel or gasoline.
It can easily reach temps high enough to melt or catch metal parts on fire.
Many people are unaware that metal can burn, just like wood but it takes very high temps for that to happen…..enter jet fuel.
What is a plane made of, for the most part? Aluminum……aluminum will ignite with much lower temps than steal.
The steal beams probably didn’t catch fire, but there was enough jet fuel, and other forms of fuel (aluminum, office contents, etc.) to keep the fire burning and hot to melt and weaken the support beams.
The explosion on the other side of the buildings hit was the jet fuel lines that ruptured and ignited.
If you ever used gasoline to start a bonfire, (bad idea) you’ll see a POOF! when the gas is lit.
Now imagine a larger scale and more powerful fuel. Plenty to blow out windows and walls on the other side.
