“Regarding your comments on flight simulators, several of my colleagues and I have tried to simulate the ‘hijacker’s’ final approach maneuvers into the towers on our company 767 simulator. We tried repeated tight, steeply banked 180 turns at 500 mph followed by a fast rollout and lineup with a tall building. More than two-thirds of those who attempted the maneuver failed to make a ‘hit’. How these rookies who couldn’t fly a trainer pulled this off is beyond comprehension.”

I know I am going regret even asking but, what is this suppose to mean? The pilots did hit the towers. So it could be and was done.

I think it means that if highly-experienced pilots couldn't do it, the chances of terrorists with half the experience pulling off such a manoeuvre are slimmer than Posh Spice on an all-Müller diet.
I'd be interested in knowing exactly how accurately these simulations emulate real-life.
Where did the planes, crew and passengers go etc?
Who can and can not do it on simulations does not alter the fact people saw and video captured planes hitting the towers. That ends the debate on if it could be done. Unless the claim is they were not planes, then my question has to be what were they? Where did the planes, crew and passengers go etc.?
In theory, a Boeing 737 with roughly one-third of its roof blown off should not be able to fly.

And now you're entering into the great mystery!!! It's not a matter of whether planes did hit, it's a matter of who was controlling them. Who was controlling them? See? Asking questions. Not making stuff up, or mindlessly swallowing the whole OS is the order of the day. The more questions asked, the more the OS falls apart. The more it falls apart, the dirtier the "Trusters" get with their ad homs and "No it didn't" type arguments.
Can you say absolutely that the planes that hit the towers were the ones you were being told were hijacked?
Notice that OBL was named as the mastermind 35 minutes after the second tower was hit. The passenger lists didn't include the named hijackers, but they were named, tried, sentenced and executed on TV within hours. Great intelligence work from the same people who 'didn't expect it to happen'. Too many coincidences on that day. Keep asking questions.
