On a more general note the trouble you (and others like you) have with your argument is that for it to work you need to convince people that a commercial airliner crashing into a buildings is initself not going to cause serious damage...

...which, unlike the airlines in question, is never going to fly
well..i understand your concerns.

let me say this to address it.

the steel outerframe of the building was connected in such a fashion that it could actually be compared with a mosquito netting..it was very strong.
and wasnt reliant on only a linear form of strength..it was fastened in multiple vectors..tied in everywhere...so really..you could take out a big chunck right from the middle of it..and the material above and below it would not be affected at all....the material above and below and to the side had many other places to draw strength from.

sort if like if you cut our a big piece of netting from your mosquito net

it wouldnt affect the whole.
