I tried in vain to explain this to a whacko at work who believes it was a cruise missle.
He had no concept of how things work. And that is a problem with a huge portion of the truther movement. They don't understand how anything works, technically or scientifically. They refuse to actually learn about the physics of an object that massive that weighs millions of tonnes. Or how a camera actually records things. They just look at things on the surface like a 5 year old child, and form their conclusions on only what is visually observable, but not scientifically probable.
Had one guy go on and on, about how the top of the building should have just fallen off above the impact point, and the rest should have stayed in tact.....there fore that is proof it was an inside job....The only response I had was ,"Did you pay attention for one second in Physics, or even short bus science class?"
