I think you are stretching it a bit too far.
 
The first plane hitting the North Tower was a mere broadside hit. The one
flying the aircraft merely used the NYC street pattern to point the plane in
the right direction somewhere in the middle of the tower, then throttled-up to
increase speed. The point of impact was relatively harmless, it's the fires
afterward that did it, without fire there would simply have been a big hole and
a much smaller number of people that perished.
 
The second plane came in too low, too fast and at the wrong angle. The person
flying the plane had to execute a drastic high-speed left-turn in order not to
miss the building. Eventually it was a very lucky hit, by crashing in the
building at the spot it did hitting nearly exactly one of the support points.
It's a half-miracle it even took 40-45 minutes before it collapsed.
 
I think when you fly a plane on that kind of mission you are not worrying about
left or right, or between the 77th and 81st floor, or about structural
considerations ... you just turn your brain to zero, try to hit the thing
where-ever whenever and be on your way to eternal glory, happyness and 70
virgins.
 
Take care,
