Slammed is a word that doesn't need to be included. It's pretty
subjective.

What exact difference does it make? What does it change? Journalists
aren't hired for their ability to undramatize the dramatic, and the jet
slammed into a house. It didn't strike, it didn't impact, it didn't bounce
off of, it didn't land on, they didn't collide...it smashed into the friggin
house.

It hit the house and friggin' exploded. Er, if that's too incriminating or
something, let's just say it combusted? The entire house is gone. Almost
no wreckage of the house remained an hour afterward, let alone the plane.
The houses next to it looked like a plane had crashed into them. The house
that the plane slammed into didn't look like it, 'cause there isn't much
left but scorched earth, dirt and random debris.

There's no point in dumbing down or deceiving the public. It slammed into
the house, and the last time I checked, slammed is a word and its primary
definition of slam is "strike." It would be ludicrous to deny that the
plane struck the house, and the word is no more subjective than "crashed
into."
