1. 747 wings are huge compared to those personal aircrafts. They weigh alot more, and require alot more structuring in the wing to hold them up, plus those big engines, AND the amount of fuel weight in them.
2. I cant remember from the top of my head, what speed you said the planes were flying at, but it was in the 400-500+ range, and thats really fast for those wings, loaded with fuel and bracing. (all that inertia)
those girders you mention also appear simply to be a facing of the building, and no more then thin strips of metal, with girders appearing in a different order behind them.
now this is just a un-researched guess into the building design, but I am willing to bet the major girders are arranged like so:

What ever you do, do NOT promote the no plane theory, it is going to be the death of the 9/11 truth movement, you will kill it.
From my research I know those planes were not commercial airliners, rather custom made probably by Boeing.
Who knows whether or not the wings would of been strong enough.
Please KillTown for the sake of the 9/11 truth movement, you also have Jimmy Walter promoting this ridiculous idea.

1. A 767 and that fails to explain how the outer wing tips and tail-section was able to slice through.
2. 11- 470mph; 175 - 590 mph
The girders on the facade my be "thin" compared to the internal girders, but they are a lot wider, thicker, denser, and stronger than the aluminum wingtips and tail-section of a 767.

if you need a practical demonstration - ever seen the vid clips of a wax candle beeing fired from a shot gun ??/ - it will penetrate 6mm marine ply - can you punch a ordinary wax candle through a ply sheet with your bare hands ?? - no ??
thank you , case closed

I'm not arguing that the fuselage couldn't have penetrated (comparable to your analogy), I'm arguing that the wings couldn't slice through all of those steel girders and floor slabs.
What you argued is apples and oranges.
Case re-opened.

then you are putting forward a strawman - the wingtips only penetrated a short distance - as one would expect
they didnt " slice through floor slabs " - so stop pretending this argument is valid

Killtown, are those pics accurate?
Because they make the planes seem pretty tiny compared to the buildings. I never noticed that before...

And 5 light poles means what? That the 250 pound poles are going to drag the almost 200,000 pound plane off course?
