There are videos from all sides of the buildings from after the first impact. Just because we don't see the impact in a few videos doesn't prove that there wasn't a plane. Not all the videos were shot from the same side of the building, which was my point.

All I can say is how can it be fair to champion the opinions of eye witnesses who saw, heard, felt or experienced explosions but not those who saw airliners hit the towers?
Not as many people saw airliners as you think. I'm a lifelong NYer and know a few people that were at ground zero.
Real life testimony > the illusions you see on TV
** Yes except the 757 can not fly anywhere near 500mph at 1000ft altitude its max speed is around 420 mph at 30k ft it becomes uncontrollable at lower altitudes.(wings fall off) How does an aluminum wing tip penetrate steel? "beep beep" there goes the road runner.

And can you or anyone you know say they saw what is displayed in the video? i.e. the effect on the building (explosion) without the cause? (Aircraft flying into it).
I don't doubt for a second the official story is a cover up at best but the idea that no aircraft hit the towers just seems nonsensical to me.
WW2 aircraft with nowhere near the structural strength or speed of modern aircraft could punch straight through the side plate of warships. Inches upon inches of armoured hull plate. The face of the tower was made of steel columns. It was also made of office windows 18 to 21 inches wide depending on what you read. Plenty of space for 500mph chunks of metal to squeeze through.

Lets not discount the scores of people who said it was a small Cessna-type plane that hit the towers, and not a commercial airliner. Lots and lots of people claimed to see it, and they were certain there were NO windows on the plane.
Anyone ever seen a Tomahawk Missle in flight?

I was there in person, 1.5Km away. This is what I remember seeing for the 2nd tower. A small plane and not an airliner.

maximum speed of 757 is listed at Mach .86 or 571 mph
Also did you miss part that WTC exterior wall is made of a lattice work of columns held together by welded spandrel plates and bolted together is 30 foot sections
Plane impact sheared off bolts and welds
