Just for the record the Empire State Building was hit by a B25 bomber that got turned around in thick fog. The B25 is a toy compared to what hit the WTC's. The B25 isn't that large and doesn't contain nearly as much fuel, it was also probably flying at 150mph, or less...

True but a B29 did not hit the empire state building AFAIK.

B29>B25 BIG difference!

yep. with thousands of gallons of av gas on board a 29 would possibly have had much more lethal results.
