Yup. And the plane was doing something like 600 feet/sec. Or covering 4 of its lengths in one second. It's pretty close to the building when you first see it. You're surprised it's hit in the next frame?

Now: Assuming those are consecutive frames, what was the frame rate of the camera? Security cameras commonly are fairly slow.

What was the focal length of the camera lens? How far was the camera from the plane?

And if that wasn't a plane what was it?

Where are the people who were on that plane? Remember Barbara Olson? Wife of US Solicitor General Ted Olson? What about the cell phone calls from people aboard that plane?

Did a plane that had been hijacked crash in PA?

What was it that hit the WTC towers in NYC?
washingtonpost.com
What was that?

When you're done with that, deal with these:

A 757 is 160 feet long and 45 feet high, with a wingspan of 125 feet.

Here is a scale model of a 757 superimposed at the collision angle.
