Good questions, but I think the "no-planers =disinfo" people will be arriving shortly.
I think everyone agree's something strange is happening with the pentagon. The WTC, on the other hand... I think the truthers believe planes hit, and the trusters do as well. The truther's believe that the no-plane is a disinfo ploy, designed to discredit truthers...

I think the planes could probably cut through the steel beams due to the enormous amounts of energy involved in the collision, but I find it odd that 2 buildings can take asymmetrical damage and fall symmetrically. I would think that if the supports are weakened on one side, if it collapses, wouldn't it fall towards the path of least resistance?
Regardless of speed, it's hard to believe the flimsy aluminium wings still cut through steel...

Your lack of physics knowledge is why you cannot believe planes did the damage.
Here is a simple science experiment that has been done for decades that might help you to understand. Pushing a straw through a potato. I even remember it from science class in the late sixties. Back then we used paper straws.
Straw through potato
Note the reason it works.
The straw penetrates the potato easily because it is a strong cylinder made from thin plastic which also
I dare say the straw is moving far slower than the planes.
The straw penetrates the potato easily because it is a strong cylinder made from thin plastic which also makes it sharp . Cylinders are strong if compressed from end to end, but not from the sides. Raw potatoes are hard, but easy to cut with a sharp knife (or straw!).

Why is that? During WWII Japanese kamikaze airplanes made out of aluminum penetrated the steel decks of ships and sank a number of them. This is becuase it was simply going fast enough to punch through.
The pilots deliberately crashed aircraft loaded with explosives and fuel into Allied ships, acting as manned missiles – more accurate and destructive than normal bombs.

see that pic up there....it's cgi....the original pic lacked the right wingtip cut.....4 feet was added
the original pic is easily discerned to be different
