they were not hit by 747s


Correct. Sorry, I had originally typed 767 and then in an edit swapped as everyone else said 747 and I thought perhaps I was having some sort of Mandela Effect going on. The size and speed differential holds true - a cruising speed extended-range 767 is much faster and larger than the equivalent, landing-approach 707 the building was “rated” for.


The twin tower planes were: 767-200 767-223ER
