Would it be in bad taste to hope for another passenger jet /j

idk but i came here to say i was praying for planes

Ehh it wouldn't do much. A b25 bomber actually hit the empire state building in 1945 and the building is still there. It's a much more robust structure than the wtc.

huh, interesting! i did not know about that. admittedly, it sounds like a problem that could be solved by adding more plane to the equation

Wouldn't a modern passenger jet have a much greater impact than a B25? The latter is several times lighter.

and carries significantly more fuel (heavier, like 5-6x the range)

Yeah, but only because of the passengers.
