I don't get why the "truthers" think the US government was willing to kill thousands of people in the WTC but balked at killing a few hundred more in some airplanes to do it, instead opting for some ridiculously complex and elaborate method of destruction.

All you'd need is some kind of cut-out remote control equipment and comm gear for the planes, and it wouldn't matter what the passengers and pilots might get up to. (Hint - the US has extensive experience in running drone aircraft). Heck, load the things with explosives if you felt the impact alone wouldn't be enough to destroy ground zero. Which is why these conspiracy theories are completely and utterly stupid, because they assume entirely incompetent conspirators on the level of execution who are entirely competent on the ensuing coverup. Which Is. Not. Possible.
