Jeeeeez. Here we have another one, making the baseless claim that thousands of New Yorkers saw planes crashing into the tower. Why? Answer: brainwashing.
Get a grip, and get over it. The videos are fake!

For anyone to say that "thousands of people" saw planes crashing into the towers is baseless, since there's absolutely no evidence to back it up. Sorry.

You've just proven your own why in your own post. The lightweight components of the plane didn't GLIDE, SLICE, OR CUT through steel. It hit the building carrying enough force and energy to obliterate the plane against the structural columns. It didn't glide in. That plane was destroyed every centimeter it went in that building.

That's not what happens in a plane crash. When the lightweight aluminum hits the steel and concrete, the aluminum will encounter resistance. The plane will crush and deform, not "disappear into the building like a bad special effect", to put it in Evan Fairbank's words.

For the sake of a rational debate...What exactly was the(or even "A") large commercial jet supposed to do; bounce off the side of the WTC?

At 9:40 a.m. on Saturday July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted by Lieutenant Colonel William F. Smith who was flying in a thick fog, accidentally crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building between the 79th and 80th floors, where the offices of the National Catholic Welfare Council were located. One engine shot through the side opposite the impact and another plummeted down an elevator shaft. The fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. Fourteen people were killed in the incident.[13] Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver survived a plunge of 75 stories inside an elevator, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall recorded.[14] Despite the damage and loss of life, the building was open for business on many floors on the following Monday.

I know someone who says she saw a plane go in one side of the tower and come out the other. But since that is not physically possible, she was the witness to a magic trick.

Remember when that kid flew a small private plane into a building only a few weeks after 9/11.... that plane went into the building. It was much much smaller and was going at a slower speed and it went INTO the building.
