Except there are no hinges on the wings of most commercial planes. In order for what you say to be true, in the fraction of a second that the plane hits the building, the 124' wingspan folded into the plane. They didn't explode because they were full of fuel. They didn't even make a scratch, they folded so quickly.

I don't get how that's intellectually insulting. I don't understand how people can assume the wings folded into the fuselage somehow, despite the fact that it's almost impossible. And when I say almost impossible, I mean like it's almost impossible that I can lay an egg.
