A 757 is 10 times the mass of a B-25 with 10 times the fuel with kerosene btu instead of gasoline btu. The B-25 was trying to land and had a landing fuel load. The 757 just took off with a transcon fuel load. It's also 3 times the speed. The 757 hit with nearly 100 times more energy.

More like 6-7x the mass of a B-25 (airliners aren't flying at their max takeoff weight) and kerosene vs gasoline is a less than 10% difference in BTUs

I dunno, have you seen the size of some of those flyers?

Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was thrown from her elevator car on the 80th floor and suffered severe burns. First aid workers placed her on another elevator car to transport her to the ground floor, but the cables supporting that elevator had been damaged in the incident, and it fell 75 stories, ending up in the basement. Oliver survived the fall due to the softening cushion of air created by the falling elevator car within this elevator shaft, however she suffered a broken pelvis, back and neck when rescuers found her amongst the rubble. This remains the world record for the longest survived elevator fall.

That's some bad luck.

9/11 is the biggest lie and people should be more outraged and cognizant about this lie. Jews and their government controlled departments are the ones behind this. The official story is laughable, they blamed it on terrorists so we could then be justified in waging a war against Israel’s local enemies and pillage their resources. All while feeding the war machine and turning more nations over into the new world order.

The Holocaust is a bigger lie.

At 9:40 a.m., the aircraft crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building, between the 78th and 80th floors, making an 18-by-20-foot (5.5 m × 6.1 m) hole in the building[7] into the offices of the War Relief Services and the National Catholic Welfare Council

What a Cohencidence.

"making an 18-by-20-foot (5.5 m × 6.1 m) hole in the building"

That sounds like a nice chunk of damage to me. That's bigger than the room I am in right now.

Somebody should try it with a bigger plane and see if they can get better results.
