I posted the 707 vs 767 specs and they are not similar. You are reading specs for a 707-120B and/or 707-320B.
I am referring to the 720 (707-020) which is the one the port authority is referring to.
This model had few sales
First flight was on 23 November 1959 and 64 of the original version were built.
Initial plans, made public in 1961
In 1970, construction was completed on One World Trade Center, with its first tenants moving into the building in December 1970. Tenants first moved into Two World Trade Center in January 1972.[13] When the World Trade Center twin towers were completed, the total costs to the Port Authority had reached $900 million.[14] The ribbon cutting ceremony was on April 4, 1973.

You are correct I did speculate that the camera had a green tint, and that was a sign that more IR light is being let in. Not that it has "IR assist", just the simple fact that more IR light is reaching the image sensor.

Even then, I have video proof that the towers withstood the impact of the jets, so you have no argument. It is fact the towers did NOT fall because of the jets.

all apologies. I got a little heated about the thread.

Since the boeing 707 is faster than the 767, then that would mean it would hit harder, making up for the small size difference.

This statement shows a complete lack of of understanding of both the towers and aviation.

First of all, the towers were designed to take a hit from an approaching 707 low on fuel and 'lost in the fog'.

You know how fast a 707 approach speed is? Around 130 knots depending on weight, which is a true farcry from a heavier 767 full of fuel going at almost 500 knots. That (the 767) is over four times the force.

Second of all, since when do lasers make orbs? Go get a laser pointer and see if it makes orbs.

The ABL was completed in 2002 and if you want to debate that then you'll need to substanciate evidence to prove otherwise. Until then, the burden of proof is on you.

That which has been claimed as such is nothing more than falling debris, doesn't follow Any straight line, and in fact contiues to fall well after the plane had struck the building.

OK, here are some additional points I would like to make.
First, to help prove my point that if the light was a targeting laser, it wouldn't be as large as 12 ft in diameter
Here is a video of a targeting laser and laser guided bomb impacting a target. Notice how the laser dot isn't even close to 12 ft in diameter?

Note that the effect exists equally strongly whether you are focused on the surface or not. Where the laser spot is large compared to the speckle pattern, the direction and speed of movement of the pattern will be affected by whether you are focused in front (opposite direction, nearsighted) or behind (same direction, farsighted). However, if you are far enough away to not resolve structure inside the spot, you get one big speckle which will get brighter or darker without appearing to move.
For those applications where the laser's bright light and its ability to be sharply focused or easily collimated are important but coherence is irrelevant, speckle is an undesirable side effect to be avoided.

Again, my point is that precision is king with any targeting system. The military designs these systems to be as accurate as possible. Thats the only way you can get a laser guided bomb to fall within a meter of the target.

Your "image" doesn't show where it started from nor where it ended up. It's true start to finish path is far from a straight line ...
The existence of a noticeable speckle effect is one indication that the source is a true laser and not just a light bulb or LED.

..the image above was created by me using special "superimposition" methods. I assure you that path of the "object" was an incredible one that can only be caused by one thing. A LASER.
