Original Note:
The two crashes are not comparable. A pair of Boeing 767-200s hit the WTC. A B-25 bomber hit the Empire State Building. A 767-200 has 3 times the wingspan and 8 times the weight of a B-25. Also, the WTC impact was at 6 times the velocity of the Empire State Building impact. https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/compare-aircraft-results.php?aircraft1=81&aircraft2=251 https://www.quora.com/How-does-the-B25-plane-crash-into-the-Empire-State-Building-back-in-1945-compare-to-the-767-impacts-into-the-Twin-Towers-on-9-11#:~:text=A%20Boeing%20767%2D200%20has,the%20Empire%20State%20Building%20did.
