As I said Boeing's suspicious comment that for national security reasons they can't comment on 175.
No comment is evidence for ... what? And why? Any prejudice you like to entertain?
The fact that those planes were maxed out speed wise, but were still able to hit those buildings square, and level. Not pointed up or down. Hit in such a way that not even the slightest bit of the wing hit nothing but the building...ie if it didn't parts of the plane would have flown to the ground. Is it hard evidence? No, but a fair amount of circumstantial.
Why do you repeat that nonsense as if no-one educated you on it before?
Flying at vmax is not difficult. The buildings were not hit with any kind of precision (2 of 3 actually nearly missed). They were huge - among the biggest of their kind in the world. It is kid's play to hit targets that hugel. About as difficult as hitting a house with a car at full speed: not difficult at all. Since you talk about buildings (plural), you mean Pentagon and twin towers, right? You are dead wrong then. AA11 was descending and banking mildly, UA175 was descending rather steeply and banking heavily (the terror pilot had struggled to cook of altitude in time and was in a pretty wild curve). Both had the nose down.
