The reason the wing disappears is video compression. The plane is the only object moving at a significant velocity. Video compression often works by taking peices of future and past frames that are motionless and re-using them in current frames to reduce filesize, so we have a mixture of the static blue background and the moving plane due to video compression - either that or colour compression or reflection on the wings reflecting the colour of the sky. Plenty of other camera clips show the wing intact, one would expect the wing to disappear in every piece of footage if it actually did.

Having said that I don't believe the planes that hit the towers were the planes we were told they were, and certainly were not piloted by amateur suicidal hijackers on a jihad.
In fact these Boeing cannot travel at the speed at which they were travelling on 9/11, they would fall apart from over stress on the airframe.
The precision is too great for a human controlling them manually thus they were guided electronically
Further more, the planes should of exploded upon impact with the facade, yet the planes didn't explode until they were completely inside the building which is the hallmark of a bunker buster.
...but rather a very large bunker busting missile that was made to look like a plane.

What I can't understand about Anti-Truthers that claim they don't believe the OS...
So they believe that the collapse was not natural and that it was demolition right??
So if the WTC was planned demolition... why do they then think that it was Terrorist in 767's?? I mean surely to leave such a weak chain in a carefully laid plan would be foolish.
In other words, if you believe that the WTC was demolished it is then logical to think that the planes themselves were not of the origin the OS states.
It is simple deductive reasoning, and is totally unreasonable of someone to say they don’t believe the OS but they do believe it was terrorists in 767's.
So tell me exactly what the anti-thruthers actually do believe??

What would you expect to happen if the building was travelling through the air (or just a few floors) at 500mph and hit a stationary plane? Do you know how much force that would equate to?
The laws of physics are the same, it matters not which of the two objects are in motion, the outcome is the same.
See newton's third law.
Newton's laws are applied to bodies (objects) which are considered or idealized as a particle[, in the sense that the extent of the body is neglected in the evaluation of its motion, i.e., the object is small compared to the distances involved in the analysis, or the deformation and rotation of the body is of no importance in the analysis. Therefore, a planet can be idealized as a particle for analysis of its orbital motion around a star.
In their original form, Newton's laws of motion are not adequate to characterize the motion of rigid bodies and deformable bodies. Leonard Euler in 1750 introduced a generalization of Newton's laws of motion for rigid bodies called the Euler's laws of motion, later applied as well for deformable bodies assumed as a continuum. If a body is represented as an assemblage of discrete particles, each governed by Newton’s laws of motion, then Euler’s laws can be derived from Newton’s laws. Euler’s laws can, however, be taken as axioms describing the laws of motion for extended bodies, independently of any particle structure.
Newton's Laws hold only with respect to a certain set of frames of reference called Newtonian or inertial reference frames..... The explicit concept of an inertial frame of reference was not developed until long after Newton's death.
In the given interpretation mass, acceleration, momentum, and (most importantly) force are assumed to be externally defined quantities. This is the most common, but not the only interpretation: one can consider the laws to be a definition of these quantities.

That is because it's a solid block of concrete, specifically designed to not allow penetration by an airplane, in a high-speed impact.
Frank A. Demartini, on-site construction manager for the World Trade Center, spoke of the resilience of the towers in an interview recorded on January 25, 2001. The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door -- this intense grid -- and the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting. Demartini, who had an office on the 88th floor of the North Tower, has been missing since the 9/11/01 attack, having remained in the North Tower to assist in the evacuation. 6 Demartini had first worked at World Trade Center when Leslie E. Robertson Associates hired him to assess damage from the truck bombing in 1993.
John Skilling was the head structural engineer for the World Trade Center. In a 1993 interview, Skilling stated that the Towers were designed to withstand the impact and fires resulting from the collision of a large jetliner such as Boeing 707 or Douglas DC-8. Our analysis indicated the biggest problem would be the fact that all the fuel (from the airplane) would dump into the building. There would be a horrendous fire. A lot of people would be killed, ... The building structure would still be there. 3 A white paper released on February 3, 1964 states that the Towers could have withstood impacts of jetliners travelling 600 mph -- a speed greater than the impact speed of either jetliner used on 9/11/01. The buildings have been investigated and found to be safe in an assumed collision with a large jet airliner (Boeing 707—DC 8) traveling at 600 miles per hour. Analysis indicates that such collision would result in only local damage which could not cause collapse or substantial damage to the building and would not endanger the lives and safety of occupants not in the immediate area of impact. 4

"We had designed the project for the impact of the largest airplane of its time, the Boeing 707. The 767 that actually hit the WTC was quite another matter again. First of all it was a bit heavier than the 707, not very much heavier, but a bit heavier. But mostly it was flying a lot faster. And the energy that it put into the building is proportional to its square of the velocity, as you double the velocity, four times the energy. Triple the velocity, eight times the energy and so forth.
And then of course with the 707 to the best of my knowledge the fuel load was not considered in the design, and indeed I don't know how it could have been considered. But, and with the 767 the fuel load was enormous compared to that of the 707, it was a fully fuelled airplane compared to the 707 which was a landing aircraft. Just absolutely no comparison between the two."

The Man who built the Twin Towers
Leslie Robertson, direct quote:
Contrary to widely promoted misconceptions, the Boeing 767-200s used on 9/11/01 were only slightly larger than 707s and DC 8s, the types of jetliners whose impacts the World Trade Center's designers anticipated.
Given the differences in cruise speeds, a 707 in normal flight would actually have more kinetic energy than a 767, despite the slightly smaller size. Note the similar fuel capacities of both aircraft. The 767s used on September 11th were estimated to be carrying about 10,000 gallons of fuel each at the time of impact, only about 40% of the capacity of a 707.
