The ball did not break the plane. The angle on the picture is skewed.
Believe what you want. But Ben didn't get in. He has even said so.
Roethlisberger told Letterman that he didn't think he scored on a controversial play in the second quarter that put the Steelers ahead for good 7-3. Roethlisberger dove toward the end zone but didn't appear to get the ball to touch the goal line. But officials on the field signaled touchdown."I told Coach, 'I don't think I got in,'" Roethlisberger told Letterman. "But we were getting ready to go for it on fourth down anyway, and I would have run it again. So we would have found a way to get in."
No, he didn't. He said that initially he did not think he got in. That is different from maintaing now, three days later that he never got in.

"But Ben didn't get in. He has even said so."
You are taking his remark out of context. Picture yourself, going for a touchdown, with guys coming at you from all sides. Your head is tucked, you're "flying" through the air, bodies are under you so you can't see the white chalk of the goal line, but the ball clears the plane. The ref sees it, the fans see it, pictures prove it. You made a touchdown! You come away and say, "Wow, I didn't think I got in." But you really did.
Then some sorehead Seattle fans keep quoting you saying that you didn't think you got in. How sad it would be. Wouldn't it?
