Unless this guy was (and probably he is 112 by now) blind, there's no way he could have NOT seen this building. And if he KNEW he was having problems BEFOREHAND, why would he WAIT until it was too late, KNOWING that he was probably gonna die anyway, take out a building with him? This isn't adding up to any "accident".

maybe he thought he could crash into the building a few hundred feet up, get out of the plane and take the elevator down instead of crashing into the streets below.

Unlimited visibility? Hard to believe that this could happen, especially since many people that work in tallest building are justifiably paranoid due to recent events.
An accident? Possible. But if I had to bet, I would bet against it.

If this is a terrorist act, it must have been done by the Jihad farm team, because in comparrison to 9/11 it is pretty lame.

Agreed. I just can't think of any scenario where a pilot loses an engine on his twin engine plane and is still able to "accidentally" hit the building straight and level.
