I didn't make myself clear enough, I guess. Assuming the wings folded into the plane, somehow, the plane still would have been wider than 15'. The 12 or so feet plus the wings would have still made it wider.
According to all reports, the first impact would have been the nose cone impacting where you can later see a hole I'm estimating is less than 15', but that's been described as little as 10' wide. I can't be sure because of photographic evidence not giving exact scale. The second impact would have been the right wing (from the back) into the second story window on the far right in the image. That impact left NO damage. As a matter of fact, the areas where the wings and tail would have impacted show absolutely no evidence of damage whatsoever. Not only that, but I've yet to see any evidence that there was more than maybe a handful of debris on the front lawn in front of the impact. If you've got a picture or video I've not seen, I'd love to see it.
The wings and tail didn't leave any evidence of impact, despite the suggestion that the boeing 757-200 struck the building at 500 mph. The engines didn't even leave holes, despite there being an engine found at the opposite end of the crash site from the impact.
