How did two 767's 100% penetrate through this?
Do you think I think no part of the 767's could have penetrated and sliced through?

Correction 3 planes went 100% through. The plane in the 40's went through the Empire State Building.
The plane impacted the78th and 79th floors on the towers north end.
The impact of the plane created an 18 x 20 foot hole in the side of the tower. This crash caused extensive damage to the masonry exterior and the interior steel structure of the building. The 102-foot building was rocked by the impact. Many people who were in the street at the time saw flames shooting from the point of impact, which was at the 913-foot level. The impact was heard as far as two miles away. Flames and dense smoke obscured the top of the structure. Later on a wing was found on Madison Avenue, one block away.
Nearby buildings were damaged by fragments of the impact and one of the planes engines was found on the South side of the building in the top of a twelve story building. The engine had flown over thirty-third St. and had crashed through a skylight in a penthouse. The engine started a $78,000.00 fire in the studio of sculptor Henry Hering. Hotel magnet Vincent Astor owned this 12-story building.

The plane exploded within the building. There were five or six seconds - I was tottering on my feet trying to keep my balance - and three-quarters of the office was instantaneously consumed in this sheet of flame. One man was standing inside the flame. I could see him. It was a co-worker, Joe Fountain. His whole body was on fire. I kept calling to him, "Come on, Joe; come on, Joe." He walked out of it.2

I'm surprised that much of the plane penetrated the Empire State bldg, due to the speed it was traveling at. I am not surprised for the full penetration on 9/11 because the plane is very large and going at a very high rate of speed.
IF anything the Empire State Building is more surprising.
