Remember too that the 9/11 pilots did a crappy job. They overspeed the

A very crappy job. Both were boresighting the towers; not accounting for
the wind effects. An especially bad job by the second terrorist who had the
smoke from the first hit to guide him. Both his at a substantial bank angle
IIRC one of them had to try twice.
