the plan becomes a shrapnel bomb, how much does a plane weigh? now how much torque would be applied to the leaver arm of said building when hit at a high point? albeit the tower should go toppling over and not collapse into itself but your premise is still wrong
If you calculated the torque, which we could, the question would then be, how much torque does it take to knock over the building?
But that doesn’t change the fact that the plane would not go inside the building. It would crumple and be basically vaporized external to the building. Perhaps some pieces of “shrapnel” could be hurled from the plane and end up inside the building from crashing through the (small) windows. But the plane itself would not effortlessly melt into the building.
When you mention torque you’re just talking about the force required to knock the building over. That makes no difference to the fact that a plane can’t enter inside a skyscraper no matter how fast it’s traveling.
However, you raise a good point that if anyone had been told the buildings fell, without seeing the footage, they would never have envisioned the tower crumbling straight down. Obviously it was engineered and not natural.
how much does a plane weigh?
400,000 to 800,000 pounds.
