It's perhaps possible that a car would be able to cut through the exterior steel columns (who were thinner on the higher floors) BUT no way would a car be able to glide into one of the steel and concrete floors.
That's what I meant by the tennis racket analogy earlier. The floors and the steel columns would be like the strings in the racket. And a fragile airliner with lots of fuel in its wings would be like a raw egg hitting the tennis racket at high velocity. Would the egg/airliner splash a lot against the surface? I think it would.
Why do people refer to aircraft as 'fragile'? They weigh a 100 tons and support themselves in the air through extreme conditions, all while travelling at several hundred MPH.
Tell me Anders, if a 757 was simply placed upon one of those concrete and steel floors would that floor have supported the added mass?
