Thanks.
Actually, on a straight conversion I just got
915 knots (@ 35,000 feet) = 1.3833Mach
= EAS (equivalent airspeed) of 510knots (if your calc was right) @ Sea Level (700 feet).

the third law of motion

For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.
1. The plane (in motion) hitting the tower (sitting still) is the same as the moving tower hitting the still plane. Like swatting a fly. The plane would be squashed. We do not see this in the videos. Something is wrong.
2. The tower hitting the ground is like the ground hitting the tower. That would cause the ground to shake. We do not see the ground shaking in the seismic record. Something is wrong.

Yeah - stupid "truther logic" that says that panes of glass should be able to crush aluminium tibes hitting them at 500 + mph lengthwise is what is wrong!!

Yes - here are the seismograph records showing that you do not know what you are talking about, and there's plenty of discussion about them around the net such as this example.

Equivalent speed is irrelevant.

Your assumption is wrong the building is NOT ONE SOLID BLOCK OF MATERIAL its built in sections the aircraft can only interact with the areas it impacts with that's why I pointed out the damage was at the joints of column trees which are staggered also re the comment about the Kingdome roof that fell as one intact 25,000 ton mass because the columns supporting it were removed.
The collapse of the towers was different although you watched the video due to your preconceived notion of what you think happened YOU didn't see the difference.

I can prove that they can exceed them by a fairly large margin.
