8. I see nothing wrong with theangle except for the perspective of the photos
You've obviously seen the video. Nothing amiss there.

Here's a suggestion to correct for perspective. In the top photo, visually measure the distance from the nose of the aircraft to the right corner of the building. Now measure the distance from the fuselage to the tip of the starboard wing. The second measurement is longer. Correcting for perspective, the starboard wing would be more than long enough to rip through the "side" of the tower.

Now, ignore the wings and draw an inaginary line from the tail to the nose of the plane. A projection along that path has it exiting the other side of the building right where the photo shows it exiting.

Why post photos from two different angles when an entire video (all shot from one angle) exists of the crash? The video clearly shows the plane going straight through the building.
