But he didn't fly into the towers, he flew into the Pentagon.
A 5-story building, at ground level, while doing 850 kph in a civilian airliner, less than 20 ft above ground. On the first try.
After executing said corkscrew maneuver in an unfamiliar airplane.
Oh yeah thats the Pentagon guy, no that was easy too, give me 25 minutes I'm not even kidding. He just approximately landed on the building going full speed. The only hard part about actually landing is hitting a safe speed at the proper angle and not sliding off the end of the runway due to too much speed.
The Pentagon is (or at least for a time was) the largest office building in the world, too. It's enormous. Probably easier to hit than the Twin Towers.
