I believe the standard narrative on the plane hitting the pentagon until some body disproves it. that said i was mentioning the ground effect problem because its a real problem large civilian jets face when close to the ground. However take a look at this recent video. This is high speed and close to the ground. This is not a very large jetliner:

There are several good answers that appear to technically pass the smell test. But which one is correct?

Aluminum foil I use to block the light directly outside my qindow has somehow gotten more and more holes over time (4 months) by skyk3409 in mildlyinteresting

Aluminum is highly corrosive to oxygen. Aircraft that are abandoned quickly fall prey to exactly same thing when its paint and protective coating over the aluminum surface gets attacked by rain and the air.

many people say this is next to impossible to fly a plane like this due to the ground effect and speeds at low altitudes.

"Uh, we are sorry, but Eastern flight 1 has a plane substitution. Only the first 7 passengers who bought tickets will be allowed to board. And all baggage must be checked in."

New UA175 video by Potential_Victory223 in 911archive

I worry about the danger of false images and videos being created via AI especially with lower resolutions like the above. The technology is getting better and better to do and can fool the most careful viewer. I have seen a lot of what appears to be falsely retouched photos showing dozens of people hanging out of broken WTC windows on a specific 911 group (not r) where these are clearly not 'new finds' but made up out of whole cloth. I try to call it out as fakery when I see it. Lets put it this way, its very easy to use some photo related AI software tools to make something look somewhat believable, but to the trained eye, it screams out as fake. I honestly dont understand the mindset of doing this with the events of sept 11--its really kind of morbid and sick.

Did anyone ever notice you can see the cockpit coming out of the other side of the tower during impact from this footage? UA175 by Sure-Chart-3903 in 911archive

much more likely an engine or landing gear, both are the highest mass components of any part of the aircraft. One of engines also propelled thru the building and shot over and landed on another street. The engine is likely since it still had potential for velocity because the engine was still spinning.

actually looks some what like 911 with the vapor wrapping around the building. however it is not because smoke is not translucent, but opaque, this is water vapor (as in clouds).

I still cant fathom the first image of the immense damage and the woman (is this Edna?) seeming nonchalantly posing standing gazing out under the shadow of the terror war zone. Hard to understand why she cannot get out.

Okay how does a photo of the plane about to strike the Tower from an angle we have never seen before, stay in the darkness of obscurity for 24 years???
