What Kind of Plane Hit the North Tower?
(all photos can be enlarged by clicking on them)
Stills from the 1st hit video shot by the Naudets--
1) right before impact and 2) the plane nearing the tower:
Flight Simulator modeling*--
A Boeing 767-200 (same plane as AA11) is too big:
A Boeing 737 (a better fit):
A DC3 (too small):
The important comparisons here are the wingspan, fuselage length and the tower width. I have tried to line up the position of the plane with the Naudet clips as closely as possible.
The Naudet video is clearly blurry, and the plane image is small. Nonetheless, we can use the footage to make out the relative proportions of the plane with respect to the North tower. The plane in the Naudet footage doesn't appear to be a normal Boeing, as the front fuselage is quite truncated, and there are no apparent indications of wing-mounted engines. But overall, the size is smaller than a Boeing 767 and more in line with a Boeing 737. While the basic "scar" in the face of the North tower was very similar in size to the front profile of a Boeing 767, the actual hole (in terms of broken columns) did not accomodate a Boeing 767's wings or tail. I have to wonder if a smaller (than a 767) specially-designed plane loaded with explosives is what hit the North tower and created the hole and the scar. This could be somewhat in line with what hit the South tower.
Previously, I found evidence that the plane that was in the "live" videos of the 2nd hit was too small for a Boeing 767. It looks as though the plane that hit the North tower was also somewhat smaller.
The plane that hit the South tower clearly had unusual and special properties, but was also very similar to a Boeing 767 in shape. The plane that hit the North tower appears to be less like a Boeing 767. If we assume the same type of plane was used for both the North and South tower hits, this is because either because the 1st hit video wasn't mucked with like the 2nd hit videos were, or because the plane that hit the South tower was cloaked in some way to look more like a Boeing 767. Alternatively, different types of planes were used for both attacks, though it is not clear why this would be done.
*I tried very hard to match the camera angle to the Naudet clip here better than in my earlier attempt. Caveats: the FS camera gives a fish-eye type distortion to the images, there is nothing I can do about this, though I know it is distracting. The overall proportions should not change, however.

edna cintron stands at the 94th floor right where the wingroot of alleged flight11 should be. we can see from the NIST report photos that after what was alleged to be flight11 had made it entirely inside the wtc1 it somehow managed to kick a giant tangled wad of perimeter columns, spandrels and concrete into the plane-shaped hole behind itself before disappearing completely.
edna cintron's last stand
Indeed, James. Similar thing is true for the south tower hole.
